I also think she was embarrassed. Here she is,. the "perfect" Hermione,
caught crying in a bathroom.
Not something she probably wanted to admit to Prof McGonnagal.
"Gee, I've been bawling in the loo for a few hours cause Ron said something
that was to close to true, then they accidentally locked the troll in here
while I was still crying"
I'd lie too.
