Hermione smiled. "Hmm. Well, I'll talk to Ron and Harry and see what they think." She nodded in agreement; she understood where Aidan was coming from. "That's good thinking; we should approach people one at a time after making sure we know where they stand and all that. People can change without anyone knowing, so it's best to tread with caution."
"I would prefer to remain passive as well." Hermione commented, brushing a few strands of hair out of her face. "Though you never know. I suppose we'll have to see what happens. And no, I don't have another idea. The course you're taking is actually what I would suggest if you were planning something else. Preparation and knowledge are the key first steps to take, I'd say."
