Okay, this is going to be risky, since I haven't read the next 20 posts,
but I can't stop myself.

Penny, I think I've got some indication that Hermione actually likes
Ron. I was reading last night to my husband (got up to chapter 22 or 23 -
can't remember... the one before "The Second Task") and read on after
he decided that he couldn't stay awake any more. Well, in the chapter
after the Second Task, they're sitting in Potions. Remember? And the
Slytherins toss Hermione a copy of _Witch Week_, which has Rita Skeeter's
article about Hermione being a Scarlet Woman. ;) So anyway, JKR definitely
(and specifically) states that Hermione gets embarrassed telling *Ron*
about what Viktor said to her after he finished the task. Just a little
phrase stuck in here, but I still think it's worth noting.

not to wake up hubby at 6:30am)
