Maybe not the first, but he won't be waiting till July, and you can
knock me over with a feather if I'm wrong too. See, Hermione is
going to be learning to Apparate a whole SIX (6) (six) months before
EITHER of the boys will. Boy, won't Ron be green with envy for this!

mcmax:
I meant that Harry is going to learn apparation in the summer before 
sixth year. Like I said this is to important a skill, indeed 
lifesaving, for Harry not to learn as soon as possible and half way 
thought sixth year is too long. The Order will teach Harry how to 
apparate long before that. And like the patronus charm he will very 
good at this. 


Yb:
but actually FAILING...shows some major promise, and some possible 
ships developing from it as well. (Harry goes to comfort her, she 
bites his head off, he tells Ron (after Madame Pomfrey reattaches his 
head), Ron gets angry, confronts Hermione, and their verbal sparring 
is just what she needs to take her mind off things, thus all of my 
wishes come true, and all those
bets I made pay off BIG TIME!!!) :)


mcmax:
 In canon this is exactly the opposite of what happens. It is Ron who 
upsets Hermione and gets bitten and Harry who sooths her. Harry 
doesn't need Ron to handle Hermione for him in any way.


Yb:
So what could Hermione possibly fail?... What if she fails 
Apparition? It's probably like flying; you can read all you want to 
on the subject, but actually trying it is the only way to learn it. 
So she could finally flop at something,losing her perfect record...


mcmax:
This is something that could happen. Unlike fanon and Steven Kloves, 
JKR doesn't make Hermione perfect and I can see her having a problem 
with apparating and maybe she will have to work at it while Harry is 
poping all over the place and ever Ron gets the hang of it quickly.



Interesting.. Any thoughts?

~Yb, who had a great time writing this.

mcmax:
 You had some good ones,after wading though all the R/Hr stuff
(<<shudder>> I can't bear the thought of them together.)
