Hermia would love to laugh at the idea of a wand schedule, but he wasn't completely wrong. "Ministry law bans the use of underage magic except in situations of imminent harm to oneself or others or in individual cases where specific licenses are granted for employment purposes. We are monitored until our seventeenth birthday. Essentially, it's wands up in September and act like they don't exist come June." Honestly, how could he practice magic and not know this? Had his parents received special permission? Had her parents lied about the difficulty of such requests? If there was some provision that would have allowed her to practice over holidays before this term, she was going to have stern words with her father.
