You might be conflating two quotes. In PS when they discover that 
Nicholas Flamel was the only known maker of a philospher's stone, 
Hermione goes 'Aha' so to speak and realises that is what Fluffy is 
guarding. Ron and Harry look completely blank and Hermione exclaims in 
exasperation, 'Don't you two ever read!' before explaining what a 
philospher's stone is. Sorry can't give the exact reference as I have 
lent out my first three books. The quote Mike was remembering was I 
think later in the series when Hermione does ask if H and R are ever 
going to read, 'Hogwart's; a History' and Ron replies to the effect 
that they don't need to since they have Hermione for that. But I'm not 
so sure about that one. There's also an occasion when Hermione asks is 
she is the only person who has ever read 'Hogwart's: a history' and Ron 
replies, 'Probably!' so that might be also confusing the issue.
