Most people, when doing a meme about the characters they are like, if they're gonna talk about a Hermione, it's gonna be a Granger.

Most people have not read The Pirate's Mixed Up Voyage, by Margaret Mahy, and therefore do not know about Hermione Hatchett.

Of all the pirates in the crew, she's the one I've always aspired to be. Her pedantic nature extends mostly to grammar and reading, rather than math, but that's only sensible when we're talking about a Doctor of Literature. Her outfit is something I've wanted to cosplay for _years_ --because it involves spiked belts, stompy boots, and the hood and robe requisite to her title. Yeah, how many pirates do you know of who run around in academic formalwear?

And all the illustrations have her with the most lovely looping braids. Fabulous!

Her love of reading I do fully share. She catches beef with the evil Dr. Silkweed (boo, hiss!) for spending her late nights curled up reading good books rather than burgling them. And her devotion to her students is such that when they decide to go off to the high seas, she joins them wholeheartedly --and being as her introduction to Captain Wafer was to literally fight his pants off with her saber, she's a welcome member of the crew indeed.

One who steals a whole set of readers from the classroom. Just in case.

MOOP!
