'Are you planning to eat or sleep at all this year, Hermione?' asked Harry, while Ron sniggered. Hermione ignored them.
'I've still got ten Galleons,' she said, checking her purse. 'It's my birthday in September, and Mum and Dad gave me some money to get myself an early birthday present.'
'How about a nice book?' said Ron innocently.

'That was the best Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson we've ever had, wasn't it?' said Ron excitedly, as they made their way back to the classroom to get their bags.
'He seems a very good teacher,' said Hermione approvingly. 'But I wish I could have had a turn with the Boggart -'
'What would it have been for you?' said Ron, sniggering. 'A piece of homework that only got nine out of ten?'

'Well, look at it logically,' said Hermione, turning to the rest of the group. 'I mean, Blinky didn't even die today, did he, Lavender just got the news today -' Lavender wailed loudly '- and she can't have been dreading it, because it's come as a real shock -'
'Don't mind Hermione, Lavender,' said Ron loudly, 'she doesn't think other people's pets matter very much.'
Professor McGonagall opened the classroom door at that moment, which was perhaps lucky; Hermione and Ron were looking daggers at each other, and when they got into class, they seated themselves either side of Harry, and didn't talk to each other all lesson.

'There you go,' said Ron. 'We got as much as we could carry.'
A shower of brilliantly coloured sweets fell into Harry's lap. It was dusk, and Ron and Hermione had just turned up in the common room, pink-faced from the cold wind and looking as though they'd had the time of their lives.

'Honestly, am I the only person who's ever bothered to read Hogwarts, A History?' said Hermione crossly to Harry and Ron.
'Probably,' said Ron. 'Why?'
- Chapter 9
'Please, sir,' said Hermione, whose hand was still in the air, 'the werewolf differs from the true wolf in several small ways. The snout of the werewolf -'
'That is the second time you have spoken out of turn, Miss Granger,' said Snape coolly. 'Five more points from Gryffindor for being an insufferable know-it-all.'
Hermione went very red, put down her hand and stared at the floor with her eyes full of tears. It was a mark of how much the class loathed Snape that they were all glaring at him, because every one of them had called Hermione a know-it-all at least once, and Ron, who told Hermione she was a know-it-all at least twice a week, said loudly, 'You asked us a question and she knows the answer! Why ask if you don't want to be told?'
The class knew instantly he'd gone too far. Snape advanced on Ron slowly, and the room held its breath.
'Detention, Weasley,' Snape said silkily, his face very close to Ron's. 'And if I ever hear you criticise the way I teach a class again, you will be very sorry indeed.'

'Harry, if you go into Hogsmeade again...I'll tell Professor McGonagall about that map!' said Hermione.
'Can you hear someone talking, Harry?' growled Ron, not looking at Hermione.
- Chapter 14
'Malfoy's dad's frightened the Committee into it,' said Hermione, wiping her eyes. 'You know what he's like. They're a bunch of doddery old fools, and they were scared. There'll be an appeal, though, there always is. Only I can't see any hope...nothing will have changed.'
'Yeah, it will,' said Ron fiercely. 'You won't have to do all the work alone this time, Hermione. I'll help.'
'Oh, Ron!'
Hermione flung her arms around Ron's neck and broke down completely. Ron, looking quite terrified, patted her very awkwardly on the top of the head. Finally, Hermione drew away.
'Ron, I'm really, really sorry about Scabbers...' she sobbed.
'Oh - well - he was old,' said Ron, looking thoroughly relieved that she had let go of him. 'And he was a bit useless. You never know, Mum and Dad might get me an owl now.'

Harry and Ron both made furious moves towards Malfoy, but Hermione got there first - SMACK!
She had slapped Malfoy around the face with all the strength she could muster. Malfoy staggered. Harry, Ron, Crabbe and Goyle stood flabbergasted as Hermione raised her hand again.
'Don't you dare call Hagrid pathetic, you foul - you evil -'
'Hermione!' said Ron weakly, and he tried to grab her hand as she swung it back.
'Get off, Ron!'
Hermione pulled out her wand. Malfoy stepped backwards. Crabbe and Goyle looked at him for instructions, thoroughly bewildered.
'C'mon,' Malfoy muttered, and next moment, all three of them had disappeared into the passageway to the dungeons.
'Hermione!' Ron said again, sounding both stunned and impressed.

'Is there any point asking how you're going to sit two exams at once?' said Harry. 'No,' said Hermione shortly. 'Has either of you seen my copy of Numerology and Grammatica?'
'Oh, yeah, I borrowed it for a bit of bedtime reading,' said Ron, but very quietly.

'She hasn't gone to get it?' Ron said, staring after her.
She had. Hermione returned a quarter of an hour later with the silvery Cloak folded carefully under her robes.
'Hermione, I don't know what's got into you lately!' said Ron, astounded. 'First you hit Malfoy, then you walk out on Professor Trelawney -'
Hermione looked rather flattered.
