and now Lauren:
I thought this scene was taking place at Study Hall.  If I can 
remember my high school days, Study Hall was where they stuck you if 
you had a "free" period, and it was kids of all ages.  Usually 
though, you would do some work you had already (maybe Hermione was 
handing in an assignment he gave her in Potions class while he just-
so-happened to be monitoring study hall??)  Now I'm a little 
confused too...
