I’ve just come to the realisation that Hermione Granger probably memory charmed her parents and packed them off to Australia long before she told Harry and Ron she’d done it at the beginning of Deathly Hallows.

She literally never goes home from Goblet of Fire onwards, spending her summers with the boys instead. In GoF she’s remarkably blase about her teeth, something her dentist parents would have noticed and felt hurt about. 

If I were to guess, I’d say she probably did it after the wizarding world cup when she’d seen exactly how the wizarding world treats muggles and decided not to let that happen to her folks. Hermione knows which way the wind is blowing and gets in early. She’d be more than capable of doing it. 

…Oh my God.

hermione is fucking ruthless and i will fight anyone who tells me otherwise

that was her “negative” gryffindor trait

was she incredibly brave and courageous and loyal? yes

but she was also vicious and violent and trapped a woman as a beetle in a jar for over a year because she pissed her off

hermione granger looked at the world, and looked at her magic, and looked at everyone else’s magic, and seemed to come to the conclusion that reality had better shut the fuck up and behave itself or she’d make it. 

of all the kids, i think she’s dumbledore’s successor, not harry. 

See this is why I don’t like it when people try and pass her off as this flawless pure sweet angel. Like no, she’s emotional, loud, angry, brash, and vindictive, and she’s absolutely awesome just like that. Don’t woobify her.

YES

Like she went from “oooh, we can’t do that, we could get expelled”  (which was already pretty metal, tbh, because she said that was worse than death) to straight up LIGHTING A TEACHER ON FIRE

She went from crying when Ron said something mean about her to punching Draco right in the face

She went from stressing about the Rules to brewing illegal potions in an abandoned, haunted wash room!!!

Harry and Ron only ever taught Hermione Granger one lesson and that was to forget about rules.

For the record she did NOT trap Rita in a jar for over a year. It was a couple weeks at the absolute most, likely only a couple of days.
Hermione captures her the night of the third task in the hospital wing and releases her when they get off the hogwarts express. The HP lexicon estimates the third task to be on the 24th of June and Hogwarts Express ride to be on July 3rd, so that’s 10 days, but those are just estimates as the book doesnt give any firm transitions of time. (okay, technically she says while on the train that she INTENDS to let her out “when we get back to london.” we dont technically see this but we have no reason to assume she’s lying or that she changes her mind.)
the mistake was probably made because in the next sentence hermione says she’s told rita not to write for a year (literally: “keep her quill to herself for a whole year”).
I just felt the need to point this out in so much detail because yes hermione is ruthless to the point of cruelty (she captured a woman in a jar!!! for days!!!) but keeping her prisoner for over a year would send her way beyond ruthless into the territory of literal villain. So while hermione is a cut throat bitch (i use the term with affection) she is not a fucking psychopath

Another why reason why I think c*rsed child was trash.. to extend the Hermione & Dumbledore parallels - I think she would’ve decided that Minister of Magic was similarly the wrong position to put herself in, that even if she could, she didn’t want to/knew she shouldn’t/remembered the awful mistakes (and this is the homegirl who’s boggart was failing) of past ministers and said ‘nah imma take down The Ancient And Most Bigoted Laws of Whack’ then systematically destroyed the corruption infiltration of blood purists through the MLE dept
