Re: Yep. I like seeing her transformation in this story though. Camilla Send a noteboard - 14/07/2010 06:13:13 PM
I think I remember later on in one of the books Harry thinking that she'd calmed down a lot.

I love that every time she talks it requires a 5+ sentence paragraph.

And how the friendship between the her, Ron and Harry really takes off (once she starts breaking rules of course).


Breaking rules really is a characteristic of the good guys, isn't it? I mean, it is what McGonnagall does and Umbridge doesn't. It is what Dumbledore allows. It is what makes Hermoine acceptable as a friend...
