Magic

HOUSE & YEARS ATTENDED: Gryffindor and she began in 1991. She was originally meant to graduate in 1998 but tracking down the Horcruxes meant she was unable to attend her last year. But she was determined that she should finish her schooling, so she completed her final year and graduated in 1999.

CLUBS/AFFILIATIONS: An intelligent and diligent student Slughorn loved her and he recruited her to the Slug Club. In her 5^th year she and Ron helped convince Harry to start Dumbledore’s Army and she loved her time there. Moreover she was always the model student so, it was no surprise to anybody that she became a Prefect and later when she did her 7^th year that she became Head Girl

BOGART: Ever since she was a young girl she has always wanted to succeed at something. She quickly found her skill lay in academics, so that became her passion.

Also since she is living by herself, she did decide to buy an ordinary barn owl since it was impracticable to keep using Ron’s

Appearance

APPEARANCE:  

Hermione is a plain girl, not attractive or even unattractive for that matter, just normal. She is of normal height and of normal build, she has never been one of the girls to worry about her weight. As a teenager her hair was extremely bushy and uncontrollable. She tried numerous ways to fix it and often wore it up and out of her face. Now however it has tamed but is still very wavy and often the day after she washes it still a bit uncontrollable. 

She rather likes her eyes probably because Ron often comments on them. They are a light brown, though she is not ridiculous enough to describe them as chocolate coloured.  

Normally she dresses in robes usually of dark blue, purple or black. Underneath she wears appropriate under clothes usually buttoned shirts and pants or a nice skirt and stockings. Her manner of speaking is usually quite formal as she likes to keep herself composed and tries to use polite and intelligent manner of speaking. However when she grows emotional she finds her voice often grows too high like when she was a teenager. Another thing that annoys her.

Personality

PERSONALITY IN FIVE WORDS:  

Compassionate, intelligent, determined, naïve, loyal 

DETAILED PERSONALITY 

Hermione is the type of person who likes to be in control. She likes to always do what needs to be done and do it to the best of her ability. She is a loyal and kind friend and compassionate to those who need help. Ever since Harry died she always wants to put on a tough face make it seem like everything is okay. But the problem is it is not. She misses him dearly and his death and so many others still scars her. Sometimes she has moments of vulnerability best solved with a chat with friends or even better a cuddle with Ron. 

Ever since she was young she always accepted authority. She did what her parents and teachers told her to do, because they were the most experienced and thus should be respected. However her years at Hogwarts did make her question this idea. She learnt that those in power do not always deserve unquestionable loyalty her dealings with the Ministry of Magic cemented this view. Now she does not blindly, follow however generally if most authorities earn her respect she is likely to follow them 

As a younger teenager she was not good in social settings. She seemed over confidence, which in fact was more a shield than anything. She wanted to prove she was worthy often leading her to be seen as a show off. However her friendship with Ron and Harry changed this. She learnt this was not the way to act and she began to relax. While she still was a tad of a know it all she was also extremely loyal, thoughtful and compassionate. In fact compassion became a key part of her personality. If she saw an injustice she wanted to fix it. This morphed into SPEW as she did not see why they should be treated differently. However in many ways sometimes these quests are too idealistic and in many ways she is a little naive. 

In many ways Hermione is the perfect student and employee. She is extremely intelligent and uses her logic to solve problems. The fact that she is hardworking and motivated makes this even better. As well, she is extremely organized and likes to make things perfect. However when things do not turn out she can become very stressed and dismissive to those around her. In fact she can even be bossy and controlling

History 

DETAILED BIOGRAPHY:  

Hermione started life as an ordinary middle class girl, with two loving and ordinary muggle dentists as parents. They loved her dearly and perhaps spoiled her a little as an only child can sometimes be. They taught her that she can do anything she wants to do and encouraged her academic pursuits. 

At primary school she excelled. She tried to help others who needed it but she ended up coming off as bossy and a know it all. Her looks did not help much; she was always the girl with the bushy hair and the big beaver teeth. She made one or two friends but, when it was time to move to high school she ended up going to a Private School and she doubted they would keep in contact. 

She was right, but for very different reasons. One day an odd stranger came to visit them she was tall with graying hair and slightly stern look on her face. She was Professor McGonagal and she told Hermione and her stunned parents that she was a witch. The Granger’s were shocked and disbelieving; after all they were a logical bunch and didn’t see how magic could exist. But McGonagall showed them magic and explained the situation, and it was accepted, after all often odd things did happen around Hermione. 

Before Hogwarts she was ridiculously nervous and it was annoying to poor Hermione that was so ignorant. She swore to fix that and she quickly sort to learn as much as possible, about the world and her classes. Going on the train she tried showing that she knew these things, but it did not work out. Like in the muggle world people thought she was a bossy know it all and she found no friends. 

One day she heard a group of her housemates, including the famous Harry Potter, discussing her and she heard how they called her a know it and annoying. That was the final straw. She ran and stayed in a bathroom absolutely distraught. But then as she was sitting there, a troll appeared and she was so scared, but then Harry Potter and Ron Weasley came. They saved her, and at that moment, they taught her how to behave and that she did not know everything. She took the blame, even though it made the teachers angry, something she never wanted to do. But more importantly she gained two friends for life. 

After that life just seemed to get better. Hogwarts just seemed so much more enjoyable. But there was an issue with having Harry Potter as a friend; everything seemed to happen to him. Her years were extremely eventful leading her on a voyage down the trap door, getting petrified,  having a fight with her best friend and to using a time turner to save a wanted man. 

At the end of her forth year Harry saw Voldemort come back and it changed everyone’s lives forever. Her life and most people around her were now threatened. Being so close to Harry it was not just his fight, but often, her and Ron’s too. At the end of fifth year, she along with five others, went with Harry to the ministry. Here many of them were injured and she learnt of the true power of the Death Eater’s, and her sixth year was no different. But in her seventh year it all got worse. Dumbledore died and the Death Eater’s truly took over.  

Harry told them about the horcruxes, how he had to destroy them to defeat Voldemort. She and Ron would of course not let him do it alone, they were always in it together as friends do. But the problem was it meant her parents were in danger, she obliterated their memory for their own sake. It was the hardest thing she had ever done. 

As she had always done, she planned everything, as much as she could, packed everything and got as much money as she could gather. When the burrow was attacked they were off on their quest. It was not how any of them thought it would be. While they successfully got the first, a locket, early on, the rest dragged. They spent months in a tent and Ron even left. He did eventually come back but not long after they were captured and taken to Malfoy Manor. There she was tortured but she refused to say anything, even though the pain was so severe 

They did get away and they even broke into Gringotts to get Hufflepuff’s cup. But then they were forced to go to Hogwarts where Voldemort had taken over. Here the true battle occurred, so many died, it was heartbreaking and in many ways it still sticks with her. Especially when Harry’s body was brought out. She could not believe it, how could he be dead, but he was. Voldemort was successfully defeated and in the end the world did eventually return to normal. But still there was no Harry. All the time, her and Ron miss him, now there is only the two of them truly left and in many ways their lives are empty without him. 

After she had two choices, she could enter the ministry, or she could return to school. In many ways there was no choice, even if it meant leaving Ron behind. She finished her schooling, in the only uneventful year she has ever had, she joked quite a few times that it just seemed too quite. As many expected her results on her NEWTS were superb and she was offered a job at the ministry. In the Department of The Regulation And Control Of Magical Creatures, her time at school she had seen first hand the injustices suffered by many. She knew she wanted to do something about it and thus her job seemed perfect. 

Hermione and Ron were always close, but always in another way than she and Harry. In her fourth year she felt jealous when he mentioned other girls and he became equally jealous when she dated Victor Krum. However in her sixth year she truly understood her true feelings for him, when he dated Lavender Brown. In many ways there relationship did develop that especially when they were looking for Horcruxes. At the battle of Hogwarts she finally kissed him, it signaled the start of their true relationship. Ever since then they have been very close comforting each other through everything.

JOURNAL ENTRY:

I am wondering if my life will ever be quite. Work is just so busy. I guess to me that has never really been an issue, to finish something your proud of is actually very satisfying. Especially with what I have just finished. I have finally been able to have time to work on something important to me. There are just so many inequalities in the wizarding world that need to be fixed. At school I saw the problems with house elves, to spend their whole life serving someone, how could that be allowed to happen! I don’t see how no-one else could really understand that. I tried to show people about that at school but they just did not understand. That is why I am so happy now. I finally finished, late last night, my proposal to examine the issue. I hope it goes well. 

Then at lunch I am meeting Ginny. It has been quite a while since I have seen her, there is just so much that is going on. It is so frustrating that I have not organized to see so many people that I should.  

Later of course there is dinner with Ron. Just a simple thing, just dinner together in my flat. That is all we really need , just the two of us. That brings back memories doesn’t it. I love Ron dearly but I just wish there could be the three of us. Poor Harry. He was like the brother I never had, and I know Ron feels the same. It has been two years but I still cry thinking about him

RP SAMPLE: 

A faint flicker of the morning sunlight falls softly onto the bed and its two occupants. Yawning softly the woman pushes herself up a little and looks at the red haired man laying next to her. Watching him for another minute she leans over and presses a small kiss to his check, before rising fully out of bed. 

Hermione always loved the night when Ron stayed over she never felt so comfortable than falling asleep in his arms. Grinning she slips on a dressing gown leaning on a chair and slips into a pair of white slippers. Walking to a window she pays the owl, as always, and pulls the morning paper towards her. Her brown eyes widen as she reads the headline; Death Eater Breakout From Azkaban. Without thinking she speeds through the rest of the article eager for details as she always is. 

Pausing for a second all she can think about is how that could happen, Kingsley had promised everyone that Azkaban was safe. Sitting down on the lounge she sits in shock wondering what this would mean for everything. How could they catch them all again? But worse what would they do now, revenge? Leaping out of her chair panic written over her face Hermione exclaims loudly; 

“Ron!” 

She is not really worried about herself really, but everyone else, so many people had been killed last time. It could not let it happen again. 

There could not be another Harry.
