Moondance:
This is what I was trying to say, though you were able to actually "verablize" it. :-)  Why did Hermione say she was trying 
to take care of the troll instead of the truth.  She could have 
softened it so as to not get the boys in trouble without the 
fabrication.  I just find it interesting.
