Or Hermione acted as someone who attempted to defend herself and her 
friends who acted in opposition to Umbridge regime.

 

Angel:

 

Absolutely not!!!  This was no defensive act on Hermione's part.  It was no
preemptive.  Who did she hope to defend by this trickery?  No one that I
could see, Harry only got off because of Dumbledore's trickery.

 

Hermione had no part in anyone's defence here.  Defence would imply there
was a means to do something to protect everyone.  Hermione's spell was
retribution pure and simple.  If you told, you get scarred.   There is no
liplock spell in action here to pre-empt telling.
