I recall that turning 17 means you can do magic without receiving an underage-warning. We know that Hermione was already 12 (JK Rowling says this on her website) when she started at Hogwarts and thus turns 17 on September 19 in her 6th year at Hogwarts. This would mean that during the holiday after her 6th year (half blood prince), she would be able to do magic legally at her home. Knowing hermione, she would probably use this opportunity to figure out a great deal about important spells unbeknownst to her as yet, and especially the potion about becoming an animagus. What does everyone think?

well hermione knows alot of complicated spells already that we dont know about. i think she would cast a few of these on her own house to keep her parents safe, probably the fidelius charm which she probably has read about and knows how to perform it so she might do that. i think she is mostly likely to practice some spells and learn some knew ones to aid harry on his way to the final batter, it may he possible she teaches him some.

I find it highly probable that she uses Apparation to see Harry at his home every now and then. Hermione is good with charms, potions and almost every subject, she does have a flaw in performing DADA spells, it takes her a while. However, I think that duringthe Summer, Harry won't be lonely what so ever. She may even be able to do side apparation with Ginny, So Harry will have his girl, or to get harry when he needs leave Privet Drive.
I also agree she will take the summer to learn as many complicated and highly advanced magic as she can. Being able to perform all the spells without consequence (well undeage restriction anyway), will give her an advantage in learning and successfully accompliching how to use them. She could even help Ron out.

I think it's in Ron's nature to become a powerful wizard but he does need strict guidance to fulfil his potential - his OWLS were a bit disappointing and I think Hermione would enjoy tutoring him for his NEWTS.
As we've seen on several occassions, magic need not be a wizard's greatest asset.

yeah i agree with Darth_Oz and Padfoot313. i hope you are right about her apparating in to see harry and with ginny. i hope you are right, i want that to happen yup.

In HBP, Hermione and Ron were eligible to take their apparating tests in the spring of their 6th year because they are both 17 years old at this time. Harry has to wait. Although he was taught how to apparate and he knows how to do it, he isn't allowed to do so for two reasons, which are - (1) he hasn't taken his apparating test yet; and, (2) he won't be allowed to do magic outside of Hogwarts until he turns 17 on July 31st.
I doubt that there will be any time for "side apparation with Ginny...so Harry will have his girl", done either by Hermione or Ron during the summer (between 6th and 7th years) because Harry, along with Hermione and Ron, will be on the quest for the Horcruxes.
As for Hermione knowing all sorts of spells and magic, I agree that she could easily do them. She is, after all, the 'brightest Witch of her age'. However, IMO, she most likely did not break the underage restriction rules before she was 17. Now that she is 17, she probably would use magic outside of Hogwarts to safe-guard her family and herself. But, not for something as trivial as playing cupid!

Hermione...Of age. I can only imagine what sort of spells she would learn. Not only to protect herself, but her family and freinds. That's why she's a gryffindor.
Family Wel all know that Hermione's parents are muggles. They won't stand a chance with Voldemort. Hermione, along the battle with Harry, has developed her own enemies, and they are SURE to track down her family, so Hermione will gain a tremendous knowledge of spells to protect her family, and her home.
Freinds This includes Harry, Ron, and his family. Once students become of age, i'm guessing they will be able to join the Order. If Hermione DOES, then she could teach the Order many extrodinary spells and magic, like they could never imagine! And of course, ahrry and Ron, and of course, hermione herself, will be battling Voldemort. Maybe even Ginny. She is very powerful herself...(But this calls for a DIFFERENT post...I shall search it and make my point there....) So what will Hermione do? She will train these young people to use these spells to defend themselves.

yup yup i agree. but i do think Dumbledore's Widow that hermione will use side apparition for ginny because they wont be off hunting the horcruxes. harry is going back to the dursleys for a short while as he said in book seven, so why can hermione and ginny and ron visit him in that period. then they are going to the burrow for fleurs wedding, then they are going to godrics hollow to harrys parents graves. then they will be hunting for the horcruxes.

I get your point, but you forgot something. Harry and Ginny broke up at the end of HBP. I seriously doubt that Ron and Hermione will interfere. It would be much too presumptious of them, it would be very awkward for all of them and besides, it really isn't any of their business to meddle in Harry's affairs (no pun intended!). I can see Ron and Hermione apparating in on Harry during the time he is with the Dursleys, but I don't think they'll have Ginny in tow!

yeah i didnt think it that way. yeah your right they wont intervene, but maybe they will just bring her for them to see each other as friends. then again hermione as done some little intervening sometimes. like getting ron out of the way for harry to go out with cho and to make him shut up. she also did some little things for harry and ginny. but who knows what will happen.

Yeah, you're right. Hermione's 17 now so she could've used the winter holidays as a time to practice putting charms around her home in order to protect her parents.
And I don't think that Hermione would intervene between Harry and Ginny because Harry will probably tell her why they broke up and she'll understand.

Careful guys....you're turning it into a H/Hr/G debating thread... As for my views on this, Hermione has greatly matured, but she of course, still has a lot to go. I honestly don't think that she or Ron will go see Harry, but will be staying at Grimmauld Place. There, I suppose that there must be a library, with lots of dark magic, and I'm not saying it's a good thing for Hermione to learn the magic, but to read about it, and know what to watch out for. Also, like your basic library, there must be books about every topic, so Hermione will read up on everything she can.
But, for most of the summer, she will probably spend it with her parents because they haven't been mentioned since ages, and it's a good idea for her to be with them because that might be her final summer, or her last time with them.
Oh, and she might put up small charms around her parents house, but I doubt she knows the fidelius charm. It's too advanced, and she'd need a secret keeper and everything....
. i think she would cast a few of these on her own house to keep her parents safe, probably the fidelius charm which she probably has read about and knows how to perform it so she might do that. i think she is mostly likely to practice some spells and learn some knew ones to aid harry on his way to the final batter, it may he possible she teaches him some.
Yeah I think you are right I dunno whether Hermione's family is going to be attacked by Voldy but of course it is a chance. I dont think she is going to leave her family with no protection at all

It's questionable that Hermione would use Christmas break of her 6th year to put protective charms on her parents house. While there have been attacks on muggles, Hermione tends to be a bit naive, and I'm not sure if, at that point, she'd feel her home was threatened.
She might, and if she did, she would use protective charms if she could, but I don't think she'd think it necessary yet.
This might come up in Book 7 though.
As far as her apparating to see Harry and Ron...when? It couldn't have been Christmas break 6th year because she couldn't apparate yet and she'd never visit the Burrow at that point.
As for the summer after their 6th year, she and Ron told Harry that they would be with Harry at Privet Drive and wherever else he's going so she'll be with Harry during that time.
Because Harry and Ron cannot yet apparate at the start of summer, Hermione might apparate to do things for all three of them, perhaps to get meals or something if they don't eat with the Dursleys, or to Grimmauld Place if that's needed before the other two can apparate.
Other than that, I don't think she'll apparate much until Ron and Harry pass the test.
I do think she'll use as much time as she can teaching herself and the boys as many defensive hexes and charms as she can come up wiith.

I dont mean to be rude, but what good came from Hermionie using magic over Christmas break? I mean, for one, she wasnt even mentioned durring Harry's stay at the Weasley's and she could just as easily become a great witch and learn more about powerful spells without having to use magic durring the break. So yeah.... whats so great about it all?
cheese puff?
