Are you sure about that?  Harry and Ron are extremely nervous and run 
up to the first person they see coming out of the dungeons and asks 
where is "our" common room.  She (also nervous since she's been 
making out with Percy and hoping not to be seen) takes it to mean 
they thought she was a Slytherin.  The "our" could have just as 
easily meant Harry and Ron.

As she walks away eyeing them suspiciously, they were too flustered 
to disabuse her of that notion.
