As far as why she didn't go back and retake that class, it was
probably either stress and/or lack of sleep making her forget about
the possibility, only being authorized to use it for Divination,
Muggle Studies, and Arithmancy, or just simply that Harry having told
her she wasn't there makes it so that she'd be altering the course of
events that you know to have happened, as with the invisibility cloak.

I was trying to figure her schedule out for that day, though, and now
I'm rather confused about how Ron and Harry got to their classes that
day, let alone Hermione. They had just left their Care of Creatures,
which, earlier in the book was supposed to be right after lunch, went
to Charms sans Hermione, then went to lunch, then after lunch, when
they met up with Hermione, it was 20 minutes to Divination, which we
know from earlier is scheduled for 9 am, and had been their first
class of the day previously. Did I miss their schedule being totally
rearranged?

OTOH, perhaps I just need some sleep myself. I just spent several
minutes trying to interpret Hermione saying "Harry, you'd better beat
him in the Quidditch final! You just better had, because I can't
stand it if Slytherin wins!" as meaning that the Quidditch match had
already happened on her timeline, before realizing that there were at
least a few days before the match at the time...
