Great topic. She'll definitely accept the news, I reckon. And then proceed to pursue her plight with an aggressive academic curiosity.
Hermione will most probably be troop off to the library first for research. Not that she'll find anything other than records of witch burnings in the 17th century. Basically, I think she'll try every means possible to get as much information about Hogwarts and the world of magic. Maybe even write back to Dumbledore. --------------------  Because he's Worth It. |

I think she panicked ....I mean that is Hermione's instant reaction when it comes to these kind of things.. But the one thing I've been intrigued is that who came to tell Hermione that she is a witch.. Every muggle born is sent someone from Hogwarts to convince them to join Hogwarts.. I don't think it is Hagrid coz he would be totally intimidating ...

"Wow! A Witch!! How fascinating!!! "
Hermione would be suprised by this news but would also be greatly curious on the subject.Of course being Hermione she want to immeadietley research the subjects. I supposed her parents would be shocked being dentists of course. But one of them must have some relation to a witch or wizard in the family so someone must know something. i that is how Hermione and her family would react to finding out she was a witch. -------------------- Bellatrix says:Avada Kedabra You Say:Ow! |

I think she most likely figured something was special about her before she found out she was a witch, so I don't think she was dying of shock, or anything.

I think she might have been skeptical at first, because, like Luna Lovegood and Professor Trelawney both have pointed out, she can be a bit narrow minded and she is someone who sticks to the facts (don't take this the wrong way, I adore Hermione). I'm not sure how she would have decided in the end that it was true, though. That is, unless she performed some crazy obvious magic already without meaning to, then she might be relieved because it's an explanation for all of the insane things that have been happening to her. |

I believe that, because I am very much like Hermione, (note my name), that she would have done anything to have a reason to say she wasn't a witch, though she may have known it deep down but absolutely refused to hear anything of it. Of course, though, in the end, she accpeted it.

Interesting point. A lot of people don't know that JKR actually said that the magical gene resurfaces after many generations. Maybe, somewhere along Hermione's family tree, someone had a squib, who married a muggle and who had muggle children thereafter. Remember when Slughorn asked Hermione if she was related to Hector Dagworth-Granger? I think she is. This post has been edited by celven1000: Sep 22 2009, 01:28 PM -------------------- |

As Hermione tells us herself in PS/SS:
QUOTE Nobody in my family's magic at all, it was ever such a surprise when I got my letter, but I was ever so pleased, of course, I mean, it's the very best school of witchcraft there is, I've heard - I've learned all our course books by heart, of course, I just hope it will be enough - I'm Hermione Granger, by the way, who are you. So I voted Good, can I read about it? Will there be books on every topic? Wow! A Witch!! How fascinating!!! Well, I thought it must be something like that, because there's no logical explanation in this world for what I can do. Although, if I had looked up the quote before voting, I would have added shock as well.

I think that given the fact that Hermione is so open-minded, she probably would have accepted it right away. But I can see her wanting to read up on Hogwarts and everything in the magical world, which we figure out she does seeing as she reads Hogwarts: A History. I voted for "Good, can I read about it?" because I'm pretty sure that's exactly what she wanted to do after she found out that she was a witch.
