You know, I think you've hit on the heart of the matter. Forget 
whether Hermione's gullible or can think under pressure or is a DDM!
Snaper herself.

You are right. They'd all taken a swig of Felix Felices. We can take
it to the bank that it is *fortunate* that Hermione and Luna stayed
with Flitwick, and that Ron got lost in the Peruvian Darkness 
Powder.  Not only in the sense that events worked out as they were 
meant to, but that they had all followed inner promptings as to what 
to do.

Annemehr,
sure, in any case, that the night unfolded as per DD's Plan
