Hermione did not run to the library to check *for* the basilisk, but 
to educate herself on it. It is rather incautious of the staff to 
leave any children unattended since the first two attacks.  And 
Hermione did not go inside the girls' lavatory knowing that there 
was a dangerous troll on the loose in the school.  She was there all 
day crying because of Ron's comment and was not in the Great Hall 
when Quirrel made this announcement.
