Just before she began the [[1993-1994 school year]], while visiting [[Diagon Alley]] with Harry and the [[Weasley family]], Hermione met and adopted a ginger part-[[Kneazle]] cat named [[Crookshanks]] from the [[Diagon Alley|Magical Menagerie]]. However, her new bond with her cat caused friction with [[Ronald Weasley|Ron]] and his pet rat [[Peter Pettigrew|Scabbers]], as Crookshanks was always trying to catch the rat. Also at the beginning of this school year, Hermione obtained a [[Time-Turner]] from [[Minerva McGonagall|Professor McGonagall]] so she could double up on classes, though this was kept secret.

When [[Harry Potter|Harry]] received a [[Harry Potter's Firebolt broomstick|Firebolt]] for Christmas with no note, Hermione reported it to Professor McGonagall, thinking it was sent by [[Sirius Black]], whom everyone believed to be a dangerous murderer who was after Harry. His broom was taken away to be inspected, which caused a temporary rift between the two friends. There was further social strain for Hermione when Ron accused Crookshanks of eating Scabbers, who had disappeared. Hermione poured herself into defending [[Buckbeak]], the [[hippogriff]] on trial before the [[Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures]] for attacking [[Draco Malfoy]] during a [[Care of Magical Creatures]] class. Once the trio reconciled, after Hagrid told Harry and Ron how disappointed he was when they selfishly put the Firebolt and Scabbers over their friendship with Hermione, so they apologized, but their attempt failed, as [[Lucius Malfoy]] frightened the [[Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures|Committee]] into deciding that the creature would be executed. Hermione was extremely upset by this news and grew furious to the point of punching Draco when he mocked [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] for being upset about Buckbeak's fate.

On the [[6 June|day of Buckbeak's execution]], the trio ventured down to console Hagrid. While in his cabin, Hermione discovered [[Peter Pettigrew|Scabbers]], Ron's lost rat. Hagrid urged them to leave and they witnessed what they thought to be Buckbeak's execution. Before they could return to their dormitory, Scabbers bit Ron and fled. While chasing after the rat, they were attacked by a [[Sirius Black|black dog]], which pulled Ron, by the ankle, into a tunnel beneath the [[Whomping Willow]],which then attacked them. Afterwards,Hermione and Harry hurried after them eventually arriving in the [[Shrieking Shack]], where Sirius Black, whose [[Animagus]] form was the black dog, confronted them. They were soon joined by Professor Lupin who was acting strangely, and Hermione told Harry and Ron of her belief that he was a werewolf, which he then confirmed. It was revealed that Sirius had been framed for the betrayal of [[James and Lily Potter]], and that the true traitor was [[Peter Pettigrew]], who had been hiding from the world as Ron's pet rat, [[Peter Pettigrew|Scabbers]]. Hermione also cast [[Disarming Charm|Expelliarmus]] on Snape, knocking him out, at which she was horrified.

Once it had been decided that Pettigrew would be turned over to the authorities, the motley group left the Shrieking Shack. When the full moon appeared, chaos ensued as Lupin transformed as he did not take the potion that Professor Snape produced for him. Pettigrew attacked Ron and escaped, and Sirius had to transform in order to protect Harry, Ron, and Hermione from the werewolf. Hermione and Harry rushed to Sirius' aid when they heard him moaning, but then hundreds of [[Dementor]]s descended on them, come to recapture Sirius. Sirius quickly fainted, and Harry told Hermione to think of something happy and attempt to cast a patronus as he was trying to himself, but they were both unable to cast one. As Harry conjured an uncorporeal Patronus, Hermione passed out leaving Harry to fight the Dementors alone. Harry held them off for a while but was eventually overwhelmed. The Dementors were about to perform the [[Dementor's Kiss|Kiss]] on Harry, Hermione, and Sirius when a mysterious figure cast a [[Patronus Charm]] to repel the [[Dementor]]s. Harry and Hermione awoke in the [[hospital wing]] after being rescued by [[Severus Snape]] who conjured stretchers for Hermione, Harry and Sirius. After realizing that Sirius's soul was to be destroyed by the [[Dementor's Kiss]] and receiving vague though instructive and useful instructions from [[Albus Dumbledore|Dumbledore]], Hermione used her [[Time-Turner]] to return herself and Harry to a time earlier in the evening. It was a very difficult task and Harry had to be constantly reminded by Hermione to stay concealed. Hermione agreed with Harry that it was difficult to watch their problems again but she strictly said that they could do nothing about it as bad things happened to wizards/witches tried to meddle with their past and future lives. Though, they used the opportunity to [[Rescue of Sirius Black and Buckbeak|rescue]] Sirius and Buckbeak as it was hinted by Dumbledore that more than one innocent life can be spared.
While waiting she discussed their saviour with Harry, and when Harry realized that it was he, she claimed that none but a powerful wizard could have conjured a [[Patronus Charm|Patronus]] to drive away that many Dementors. As evidenced by her assertion that time-traveling is extremely dangerous, Hermione took great personal risk to save Sirius and Buckbeak. At the end of the year Hermione returned her Time-Turner, claiming it caused too much trouble and that she would drop a few subjects instead which was a very big surprise to everyone.

Once at Hogwarts, Hermione began a crusade for the liberation of [[house-elf|house-elves]] by beginning the [[Society for the Promotion of Elfish Welfare]], or what she and the group called S.P.E.W, (or as [[Ronald Weasley]] called it: spew) having been appalled by [[Bartemius Crouch Sr.|Bartemius Crouch]]'s abusive treatment of his house-elf [[Winky]]. This di[[File:1280656006_8448_full.jpg|thumb|169px|Hermione's Yule Ball look.]]d not earn her any popularity, as most believed that house-elves enjoy their work; indeed, even the house-elves did not like her campaigning. Harry, Ron, and [[Neville Longbottom]] only reluctantly joined, mostly in order to prevent Hermione from nagging them about it. [[Rubeus Hagrid|Hagrid]] as well as [[Fred and George Weasley]] refused to join on the grounds that it would upset the house-elves, though Fred did tell Hermione how to get into the [[Hogwarts kitchen]]s, where she spoke to [[Dobby]] and Winky. Hermione considered the former to be a good example of a free elf, and tried to comfort the latter about being sacked by Crouch, but Winky soon became upset by Hermione's claims that house-elves deserved to have holidays and wages, along with the other elves.

After the events surrounding Harry's name coming out of the [[Goblet of Fire]], Hermione was the only student who believed Harry's innocence; in fact, she "accepted his story without question." Even Ron was suspicious that Harry had cheated in order to gain more glory, creating a rift between the two for some time. Hermione helped Harry for the [[Triwizard Tournament]] by teaching him useful spells, such as [[Stunning Spell|Stupefy]], [[Impediment Jinx|Impedimenta]] and [[Summoning Charm|Accio]]and tried to get Harry and Ron to talk to one another multiple times.

At this time, Hermione unknowingly attracted the interest of [[Durmstrang Institute|Durmstrang]] Triwizard Champion and Bulgarian International [[Seeker]], [[Viktor Krum]] for her intelligence, unconventional beauty, and the manner in which she declined to hound him for autographs, unlike other girls. Krum began following Hermione to the library and other places around Hogwarts, and even asked Harry if it was all right for him to pursue Hermione. He eventually asked her to attend the [[Yule Ball]] with him, and she accepted, not telling anyone but [[Ginevra Weasley|Ginny Weasley]].
