There is an ongoing discussion between Severusboo4 and Carolyn White
about whether Hermione used the time-turner other than for attending
class. Severusbook4 thinks she does:
> Pg. 395-396 PoA US softback
>
> "I'd never, ever use it for anything except my studies...I've been
turning it back so I
> could do hours over again, that's how I've been doing several
lessons at once, see?"
>
> Hermione is using the word "studies" indicating homework, and then
uses the word
> "lessons" again to indicate classes.
Constance Vigilance (me): I'm going to jump in here an disagree with
Sev. I think Hermione is using the word "studies" to
mean "education". If she had meant studying, as in homework, I think
she would have used the British term "revising". I have to agree with
Carolyn and say that I think Hermione is using the timeturner only
for attending simulaneous lessons, and is using her own time for
homework and studying.
