Hermione was definitely ready to learn, this was the house she felt the closest too. The obvious fact her parents would love her to be in the house of the academic was one big draw of Ravenclaw. The other was Hermione's love of knowledge, she adored learning, it made her happy to master new skills and learn new facts. The hardest to admit was the little voice in the back of Hermione's mind that suggested that maybe, just maybe her being in Ravenclaw would allow her to find common ground with people. She might actually be able to make proper friends. However she couldn't ignore the fact Hermione wasn't very quick witted, often taking too long to think things over so that could stop her from getting in.
