The first time Hermione happened upon  The Late Night Lover  on her wireless was by pure accident. Her friends, though they always tried hard, were unsuccessful yet again at convincing Hermione to join them on their regular Friday night pub crawl. She knew what would happen if she joined–they’d work their arses off to get her solidly tipsy, then they’d make every attempt they had in them to get her to go home with some man chosen at the beginning of the night.
