Music
With Hermione Granger
1983
After attending her third piano class she threw her bag down and sat down cross legged on the floor.
"I don't like the Piano." She said petulantly to her mother who was sitting in front of her in the same position.
Her mother saw right through her and knowing just the way to make her start again and said in an even tone,"Is it too hard for you to play, my dear? Do you want to try an instrument which is easier?"
She knew that when she put it that way, Hermione will take it as a challenge. And knowing her, well, she couldn't lose.
"No, it's an easy instrument and well..." Hermione said.
"Well, what?" Asked her mom.
"Nothing, Mom." She answered. "I just need to revise my notes."
As her mother watched her retreating figure, she knew that Hermione had resolved herself to learn the piano from the determined way she held herself, after all she was her daughter.
1997
After teaching a simple piece to Ron on the Grimmauld Place piano Hermione told Ron and Harry that she was tired, which was partly true, and went to her bedroom. She locked herself in the room and using the door as a back support slid done and started crying.
Playing the piano just reminded of her parents and how if she couldn't succeed she would never see her parents again.
That just gave her another reason to make this quest succeed.
After all she had to make Ron and Harry meet her parents.
