There should be more love for CXG, also I could stand to listen to some of the songs again, so many of them were really good.

I never quite felt sorry for her, but now I really see the severity of what she did. I'm still not comfortable with a teenage girl being permanently scarred, but... imagine if in the US, someone reported a classmate to ICE

I haven't read the books in a while, but I can't remember if she got hit with truth serum when she dobbed them in. Or at the very least wasn't able to lie to a teacher/authority figure who was questioning her direction. If she sought Umbridge out, then yeah that deserves blame, but I think there is still room for understanding. That said, I never had a problem with Hermione's ploy in story since it seems like something a teenager would think was fitting without weighing the nuances.
