Heee, I thought it will take me one or two days to reread this book. 
But when one reads several books at the same time, it sure takes 
longer. :)


"Hermione had become a bit more relaxed about breaking rules since 
Harry and Ron had saved her from mountail troll, and she was much 
nicer for it. The day before Harry's first Quidditch match the three 
of them were out in the freezingf contryyeard during break, and she 
had conjured them up a bright blue fire that could be carried around 
in jam jar. They were standing with their backs  to it, getting warm, 
when Snape crossed  the yard.  Harry noticed at once that Snape was 
limping. Harry, Ron and Hermione moved closer together to block the 
fire from view; they were sure it wouldn't be allowed. Unfortunately, 
something about their guilty faces caught Snape's eye. he limped over. 
he hadn't seen the fire, but he seemed to be looking for a reason to 
tell them off anyway.

"What's that you've got there, Potter?"
It was Quidditch Through Ages. Harry showed him.

"Library books are not to be taken outside the school." said 
Snape. "Give it to me. Five points from Gryffindor."
"He just made that rule up," Harry muttered angrily as Snape limped 
away. "Wonder what's wrong with his leg?"
"Dunno, but I hope it is really hurting him." said Ron bitterly -

PS/SS, p.182, paperback.


Alla:

Okay, how talented Hermione is in case anybody did not know that 
yet. :)

She conjured  them a fire? I wonder if that is in the first year 
cirriculum. :)

Um, why are they so sure that getting warm would not be allowed?

And of course SO want to slap Snape here, SO want to slap him. He 
would not let Harry read a book?

Just sitting outside and reading a book? Ugh, talk about finding 
excuses to make his life miserable.


I also reread in print how much TMTMNBN robbed our Ron by giving his 
best lines and behaviour to Hermione.

No, Hermione was NOT useful at all in troll's fight. She was FROZEN 
and scared and she was not teaching Ron how to perform Wingardium 
Levioza, Ron did it all on his own. Ugh.

I mean, I remembered that, but just SO annoyed by taking Ron's best 
episodes from him, ALL of them.


But oh my God, she is so talented, just not battle wise yet in PS/SS.

"As a surprise for Harry they had planted a large banner on one of the 
sheets Scabbers ruined. It said Potter for President , and Dean who 
was good at drawing , had  done a large Gryffindor lion underneath. 
Then Hermione had performed a tricky little charm so that the paint 
flashed different colours" - p.184, paperback.

I wonder what that charm was.

Another question. Does this quote simply foreshadow Norbert or the 
fact that Harry is still to meet wild dragons in book 7, here in 
Britain?

"but there aren't wild dragons in Britan?" said Harry.
"Of course there are, said Ron. "Common Welsh Green and Hebridean 
BBlacks. The Ministry of Magic has a job hushing them up, I can tell 
you. Our kind have to keep putting spells on Muggles who've spotted 
them, to make them forget"
"So what on earth's Hagrid up to?" said Hermione - p.231.
