I'd, unfortunately, have to suggest that something may happen to 
Hermione.  She is muggle born after all and if, as Mattie Stepanek 
hinted on the Oprah show, that muggles will be involved why not start 
by attacking the Grangers.  Leaving Hermione an orphan and distressed 
that she cannot even be her regular bossy/studious self.  Which in 
turn will jeopardize her position as prefect.  Her whole world will 
come crumbling down and in a way only Harry will be able to 
understand what's she's feeling because he's been through it.

*********I reply.........

Yes, I get chills reading this because I can see it happening. Especially thanks to Rita Skeeter, who has all the more reason to hate Hermione now then she did before. Her parents are essentially defenseless and could be put in a dangerous position easily. I really think that Hermione made a bad decision in keeping Rita and thinking she could handle it. Prolly should have given her up to Dumbledore and let him deal with it. She is no match for a angry, competant, full grown witch. I don't think Rita would do something directly, but by writing mean articles about them, she could endanger her parents with the DE. 

Also, Hermione's parents are the ones we know least about. But they have been presented as nice and loving. It makes me feel uneasy for them, these are exactly the kind of characters JKR seems to level her wand at. Likeable, but we aren't too attached to them.
