  No, I don't think she'd do that. In fact she might even enjoy being
yelled at - it'll mean they know her again!

  I tend to agree but if the memory modifying involved a potion they
Hermione could swing it. The girl's weak on theory and style but she's
the cat's pajamas at following finicky instructions to perfection. And
she did hex Marietta pretty darn good not to mention mastering the
proteus charm. So I guess this was within her competence.
