Hermione turned to Professor McGonagall and said formally, "I decline the "honour’ of being fifth-year Gryffindor girl prefect, opposite Ronald Weasley. Furthermore, I do not recommend anyone to replace me, because there is no Gryffindor girl I hate enough to saddle her with not only her own prefect duties during her OWL year, but also with doing the prefect work that Ron should do, but will not do."
