In 1991-1992, Hermione Granger is a first-year Hogwarts student and Harry Potter's closest friend.
Hermione is very bright and performs much better than her fellow students in most classes.[1] She also reads very fast[2] and can memorize entire books. Over the school year, she leads one of Professor Quirrell's armies and creates the S.P.H.E.W., a group of students that promotes gender equality and opposes bullying.
However, Hermione's accomplishments are often overshadowed by Harry's fame and her role in the prophecies about him. She is at first known as Harry's friendly rival and possible romantic interest before being targeted by Tom Riddle who frames her for attempted murder before setting a mountain troll on her. Her bodily death triggers Sybill Trelawney's prophecy about Harry ending the world, which prompts Riddle to help Harry revive her and give her extraordinary survival powers.
- What? This seems wrong.
- This wiki is about an alternate story named Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality (or HPMOR) which is very different from the original Harry Potter. Also this website is not HPMOR but only a fan wiki about it. Check out the book before getting spoiled here!
Biography
Hermione is sorted into Ravenclaw. She meets Harry on the Hogwarts Express (canon) and they quickly develop a friendly rivalry over school achievements. After classes, Hermione helps Harry to scientifically investigate magic by performing charms and transfiguration (canon) experiments.
The Sunshine Regiment (prominent members)
In the autumn 1991, Hermione becomes the General of one of Professor Quirrell's armies, an inter-house after-school activity. She names her army the Sunshine Regiment and leads it in the three-way battles against the other first-year armies that are Harry's Chaos Legion and Draco Malfoy's Dragon Army.
In the winter, Hermione creates the Society for the Promotion of Heroic Equality for Witches (S.P.H.E.W.). She recruits seven other first-year witches of all four houses; together they fight bullies in the corridors of Hogwarts. S.P.H.E.W. receives help from several people, most notably Nymphadora Tonks and Severus Snape. The fights escalate until S.P.H.E.W. is forcibly disbanded by the Hogwarts staff.
In April, Tom Riddle aims to take Hermione away from Harry and successfully frames her for the attempted murder of Draco Malfoy. Lucius Malfoy asks before the Wizengamot (canon) that she be sent to Azkaban. She then agrees to swear service to the House of Potter so that Harry becomes indebted to House Malfoy instead. Lucius will later agree that she was likely framed and cancel the debt.
On April 16, Riddle sets a mountain troll made immune to sunlight on Hermione to kill her. Harry and Fred and George Weasley come help her. They fight and kill the troll but not before Hermione is too gravely injured. Hermione's death[3] revolts Harry who forms the resolve to bring her back to life at any cost, which triggers Sybill Trelawney's prophecy about him ending the world. Harry immediately cools down her body and later transfigures it into an object in the hope of being able to revive her at a later date.[4]
When Riddle / Voldemort reveals himself to Harry, he says he regrets this as he has a selfish interest in the world not being destroyed. Voldemort and Harry revive Hermione using a dark ritual and the Philosopher's Stone to repair her body and the True Patronus charm to spark her back to life. Voldemort then gives her the self-healing powers of a mountain troll and a unicorn and makes her a horcrux out of Roger Bacon’s diary by killing Quirinus Quirrell.
Physical appearance and health
Hermione has chestnut hair and prominent front teeth.
After being given the powers of a mountain troll and a unicorn, her nails and teeth turn into alicorn (unicorn's horn) and she is said to "radiate an aura of purity and innocence".
Family
Hermione is a muggleborn. Her parents Leo (canon) and Roberta (canon) are both dentists. They know Hermione is smart but they don't realize how much; however Hermione doesn't mind.[5]
Roberta's mother was a witch who may have died in Grindelwald’s War (canon). Roberta never knew her.
After Hermione's apparent victory over Voldemort in June 1992, she is said to have avenged the Noble and Most Ancient House of Monroe and the Granger family is made a Noble House of Magical Britain.
Relationships
With Harry Potter
Hermione and Harry meet on their first trip on the Hogwarts Express after someone (likely Dumbledore guided by prophecy[6]) tells Harry to look for her.
In April, when Riddle frames Hermione for attempting to murder Draco, Harry speaks up for her in the Wizengamot (canon) and when Lucius Malfoy asks that she be sent to Azkaban, he offers to become indebted to House Malfoy instead. To force Lucius's hand, Hermione swears service to the House of Potter (which will end with her temporary death 10 days later). After this Hermione feels ashamed for having needed saving. She asks Harry if he did it because he's in love with her and he says he cannot be because he hasn't reached puberty yet.
When Riddle sets the troll on Hermione, her death triggers Trelawney's prophecy about Harry "tearing apart the very stars in heaven". This prompts Riddle to revive Hermione with Harry's help. He then forces Harry to take an Unbreakable Vow not to destroy the world and to take his friend's advice in interpreting the Vow.
After the crisis has passed, Harry offers to give Hermione heroic things to do as if he was her "mysterious old wizard" and he gives the True Cloak of Invisibility to her. Hermione agrees to take risks for good causes and swears her never-ending friendship to Harry.
Romance attempt
Hermione and Harry's date
On the first week of school, Hermione is surprised that she enjoys beating Harry in most classes so much. She attributes it to them being in a romance and publicly pressures him into going on a date as forfeit for losing a book-reading contest between the two of them.

Harry snapped at Hermione's parents for not realizing how bright she is.
Hermione tries to kiss Harry twice but he rejects it both times. The first time happens on Christmas Eve when Harry and his parents are invited to the Grangers place.

Hermione kissing a demented Harry
The second time happens in January when they try to cast a Patronus on a real dementor in Defense class. Riddle makes Harry be exposed to it for too long; this leaves him in an "demented" mental state in which Fawkes's singing cannot reach him. With Dumbledore's approval she tries kissing him; though he rejects it this succeeds in getting him out of dementation.
