Hickengruendler:

Who says, that this isn't what Hermione did? To me, it seems likely 
that it was a mouth-to-mouth thingy.

Hermione told a few people, let's say Neville, Luna, Cho and Ernie, 
because they openly stood by Harry, plus Lavender, Parvati and Dean and 
of course the Weasleys. Then Ginny told her classmate Colin, who told 
his brother Dennis. Fred and George told it their Quidditch mates. 
Parvati told her twin sister, Cho told Marietta, and Ernie told his 
friends. Ginny probably also told her boyfriend Michael, who told his 
friends. And we knew that Zacharias overheard Hermione telling Ernie. 
IMO this makes more sense, then Hermione randomly telling people, she 
hardly knows, about a secret group. It was trust thing, and everybody 
told this a few more people they trusted with the secret.

Hermione seemed as surprised by the number of people as Harry did.
