The Sergeant Majorette says

Nor do I. OotP p.715 (American ed.): "How were the runes?" said Ron, 
yawning and stretching. "I mistranslated 'ehwaz'" said Hermione 
furiously. It means 'partnership,' not 'defense,' I mixed it up 
with 'eihwaz.'" "Ah, well," said Ron lazily, "that's only one 
mistake, isn't it, you'll still get--" "Oh shut up," said Hermione 
angrily, "it could be the one mistake that makes the difference 
between a pass and a fail..."
