About
Professional Summary
I am Hermione Jean Granger, and I have been preparing for this career since age eleven, when I memorized every textbook assigned for my first year at Hogwarts before September. I graduated top of my class. I was Head Girl. I received Outstanding marks in every O.W.L. and N.E.W.T. examination. I co-founded Dumbledore's Army, helped defeat the darkest wizard in history, and established the Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare because someone had to care about systemic injustice in the wizarding world. I currently serve as a Senior Policy Analyst at the Ministry of Magic, where I am reforming outdated magical law one meticulously footnoted brief at a time. I bring exhaustive research capabilities, a Time-Turner-caliber commitment to deadlines, and an inability to leave any problem unsolved. I also bring snacks. Good teams need snacks.

Recommendations
What Others Say
"We wouldn't have survived first year without Hermione, let alone everything after. She figured out the basilisk when the entire school couldn't. She brewed Polyjuice Potion at age twelve. She kept us alive in a forest for months with nothing but a beaded bag and sheer force of will. She is the smartest person I have ever met, and I've met Dumbledore. The only criticism I'd offer is that she is ALWAYS right, and she will ALWAYS remind you of this. But she's earned it. Honestly, she's earned all of it."
Harry Potter
Head Auror / Best Friend / The Chosen One (But Let's Not Dwell)
"Hermione is brilliant. Like, properly brilliant. Scary brilliant. She reads books for fun. Multiple books. At the same time. She once corrected a professor — IN FRONT OF THE CLASS — and the professor thanked her for it. She keeps our entire household organized with color-coded systems that I don't fully understand but am afraid to disturb. As a colleague, she will outwork everyone. As a boss, she will set expectations so high that you'll either become the best version of yourself or cry. Often both. I love her. She terrifies me. Both statements are true."
Ron Weasley
Spouse / Partner in Crime / The Emotional One
"In forty years of teaching, I have never encountered a student with Miss Granger's combination of intellect, work ethic, and moral conviction. She earned every grade, every honor, and every ounce of respect her peers gave her. She also earned several detentions, which she served with the same thoroughness she applies to everything else. I endorsed her for the Ministry position without hesitation. The Ministry does not deserve her, but she will improve it regardless. That is what Hermione Granger does — she improves things, whether they asked to be improved or not."
Professor Minerva McGonagall
Headmistress, Hogwarts / Former Transfiguration Professor

Can Hermione Granger actually manage time?

"Now if you two don't mind, I'm going to bed before either of you comes up with another clever idea to get us killed. Or worse, expelled."
