Though Hermione’s situation wasn’t going to be what she was hoping for, she had finally decided she needed a new plan after spending a whole week in a pissy mood. She was an academic, a professional. And now, a role model as Head Girl. She would be the bigger person, in very true Gryffindor fashion. Since she would be stuck with the prick for the whole school year, she decided she could be cordial enough to him, and would just stay out of his way to avoid his teasing and name-calling. If she didn’t interact with him much, he wouldn’t have the chance to annoy her, right? She hoped.
