This shows great ingenuity and erudition - applying the Roman 
calendar, using the male pronoun as the default and the links with 
Mercury. But, as with everything else that we come up with, there is 
one question that ought to be asked first and foremost.

How *likely* is it that Hermione Granger is the subject of the 
prophecy?

Answer: Not actually all that likely at all. Really quite unlikely, 
in fact, since we are engaged in reading a series called "Harry 
Potter and..."

This is exactly how the Mark Evans mess happened. It could be 
demonstrated with highly-developed arguments how Harry and the ill-
fated ten-year-old might have shared a wizarding ancestor six 
generations back, but the question "Is this too far-fetched?" was not 
asked often enough.
