a_svirn:
No, I am not. I only said that if she followed the course she 
started with her hunger strike she would have to leave Hogwarts for 
good. Because everything in the castle is done by elves. 
Fortunately, she discarded the idea.

a_svirn:
It wouldn't. But then, my point is that the whole thing is not 
really about elves.

a_svirn:
I didn't say she was demagogue in the making – merely a politician. 
And I never said that she was plotting cunningly to worm her way 
into the wizarding politics. What I said was that when Hermione with 
her awesome determination and "blunt will" chose certain path one 
step quite logically followed another.
