Luke likes her. The more he speaks to her, the more he likes her and he can certainly see why Ron is clearly so taken with her. She has a fire in her that Luke is used to seeing in Shadowhunter women, the kind that drives them to compete with the men around them, to be better and stronger and faster. He'd never had any problem acknowledging that Jocelyn was a far superior fighter, displaying speed and accuracy Luke knows he never could have achieved. In his world, he can imagine Hermione in that role very well, fighting not only to keep the world safe, but for the protection of Downworlders, refusing to treat them like vermin, like they were somehow less.
"Downworlders... we didn't have anyone like that," he says, referring to himself as a Downworlder, as part of a we without even realizing. "Werewolves, fairies, warlocks and vampires. We had an alliance with the Shadowhunters, but it was often called into question and we could only represent ourselves, which never went over very well with the Shadowhunters." But then he smiles again, pleased by her suggestion.
"It would be wonderful to do that," he says. "And I would be sure to do the same for you."
