Rory Hermione tried to justify her conduct by saying McLaggen was affronting Weasleys and he will not be a good fit for the platoon. Is she right? What would McGonagall suppose of her top pupil confunding a Quidditch essay?
Jack McGonagall can’t really talk, since she secretly bought Harry the best broom for Quidditch (at the time). Plus, considering Hermione helped save the Wizarding world multiple times, we can give this a pass.
