Hermione had her feet tucked under her and one of the werewolf books in her hands when the door opened.  She'd been feeling fairly outraged about the way the author talked about werewolves and was happy for the distraction of company.  For all that the book had a lot of useful information about werewolves" mating habits, the tone was enough to make her feel ill.  The writer clearly didn't think of werewolves as human.
