Any volunteers to tell invincible resurrected Dark-Lord-slayer Hermione what grade she got in Defense Against the Dark Arts?
She initially got a fail grade for dying, but then Professor Quirrell let her retake the test.
She got a Dreadful for dying . . . then Professor Quirrell revived her and re-graded her Troll.
Well, she’ll get an Outstanding for “defeating the Dark Lord”. So that pretty much cancels her Fail grade, right?
Except there's no Defense Professor available to award her a new grade, and by the time a new one is recruited, it'll be next year and her achievements from the previous academic year will no longer be relevant.
Yup. The fact that she defeated the Dark Lord right after the Professor who flunked her failed to do so will only serve to underscore the injustice.
Headmistress McGonagall has good grounds to overrule this now.
