Hermione Jean Weasley ( b. 19 September, 1979) was the daughter of Muggles Mr. and Mrs. Granger, both dentists in Muggle London. At age eleven, Hermione learned that she was a witch and had been accepted into Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. She began attending the school on 1 September, 1991 where she was subsequently sorted into Gryffindor House. She possessed a brilliant academic mind and proved to be a gifted student. She is very studious and bookish. She was one of the few people who was less intimidated by calling Lord Voldemort by his name like Harry, instead of calling him You-Know-Who like many others.

Hermione first met Harry Potter and Ron Weasley aboard the Hogwarts Express. Both boys found Hermione unfriendly and a know-it-all. Later her eagerness to please her professors and her constantly correct answers reinforced their initial impression. However, in spite of the cool relationship between the three, Hermione stepped in to take the blame from Ron and Harry after they had saved her from a troll on Halloween. Harry and Ron were surprised but grateful, and the three quickly became friends. In her second year, Hermione fell victim to a basilisk...

After the Battle of Hogwarts, I had a change of lifestyle. I wasn't that know it all, snobby chick anymore, I was a totally new person. I told Harry and Ron I was finishing my 7th year.

I could only talk to Harry about the deaths of Tonks, Lupin, and Fred. After thinking about this for about 15 minutes, I realized I was late for class.
"Oh no!" I said to myself, running down the hall. I ran past Nearly Headless Nick, which I never see around anymore. I finally arrived at Charms Class.
"You are late, Granger," a voice said. I walked in and found my seat. Professor Flitwick wasn't there anymore. It was a new Professor. The new Professor was tall and skinny, with hair longer than Luna's.

"And it's supposed to smell differently to each of us, according to what attracts us, and I can smell freshly mowed grass and new parchment and..."
—Hermione possibly realising her feelings towards Ron whilst smelling the Love Potion

Hermione achieved high academic prestige when she obtained ten O.W.L.s, in Charms, Defence Against the Dark Arts, Transfiguration, Care of Magical Creatures, Arithmancy, History of Magic, Herbology, Astronomy, Potions, and Ancient Runes. She received 'Outstanding' marks on each of them, except Defence Against the Dark Arts, in which she received an 'Exceeds Expectations,' which she dwelt upon; Ron found it amusing that she actually seemed disappointed by this.

By the time they arrived in Hogwarts, Hermione's romantic feelings for Ron had become obvious, and she was upset when he and Lavender started flirting. Hermione and Ron's relationship suffered greatly in their sixth year, when Ron became envious of both Hermione and Harry, who were invited to be members of the Slug Club, a group of students favoured by Potions professor Horace Slughorn, while he was ignored. He was mollified when Hermione revealed that...
