In Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban Ron, Hermione, and Harry deal with the situation of the dementor's and Sirius Black differently. Ron is scared of the dementor's and of Sirius Black, he wants nothing to do with them and wants to stay as far away from them as possible. Hermione just wants everyone to be safe. Hermione says, "'Because I though-and Professor McGongall agrees with me-that the broom was probably sent to Harry by Sirius Black!'" (Rowling 232). This is said by Hermione when she tells Professor McGongall about Harry's new broom resulting in Professor McGongall taking Harry's broom to make sure it isn't jinxed.
Harry takes the situation very differently, he wants to prepare for the situation. Also, Harry is not afraid of Sirius, but is scared of the dementor's. It says, "'Harry, if you don't want to continue, I will more than understand-' 'I do!' said Harry fiercely, stuffing the rest of the Chocolate Frog into his mouth. 'I've got to! What if the dementors turn up at our match against Ravenclaw? I can't afford to fall off again. If we lose this game we've lost the Quidditch Cup!'" (Rowling 239). Harry feels very strongly about preparing and being ready to defend himself unlike Ron and Hermione. He also wants to do it for his team which is very generous thing to do. No one else is taking lessons in defending themselves so this is a very different approach then many other people.
