Hermione's schedule had changed. Now she practiced her animagus transformations every Tuesday, and on Thursdays she worked on her Potion. Hermione had made a lot of progress. She could now calm the nerves, but it was only temporary. Hermione was experimenting with Valerian root and her animagus phoenix tears to make it permanent. She had started spending not only Thursday evenings but Monday and Sunday evenings in the lab too.
