When the owls descended through the windows of the Great Hall, Hermione was unsurprised to find letters and a few small packages from her family.  The presents were most likely books, carefully preserved versions of her classical favorites hunted down by Mom.  There was even a note from Scott.  She opened that one first, unsurprised to find it full of snarky comments and requests for her to drop out of school and save him from boredom.
