Doing a perfect course but one sounds still very, very good to me.
Especially aas it was the first time she was up against a boggart.
Harry of course had loads of practise and the rest of the class did
not have as much as he but did have a go in the safe environment of
the classroom. As for Hermione being a theory girl: "cool logic under
pressure" earned her fifty points, she was not bad in the shrieking
shack and certainly quite good in the fight at the MoM. I think she
should have had the O in DADA.
