The Kiss

I've read the entire thread carefully and I agree with Stefanie, that 
Ron and Hermione fit a well established plot pattern. 
To that I would like to add another consideration that further 
undermines the H/H opinion (IMHO, of course). 
Its this -  isn't Hermione the last person who would kiss in such a 
way a boy she has romantic feelings for? I'm sure that if Hermione 
was attracted to Harry, she would a) deny it even to herself for as 
long as she possibly could and b)would be entirely too self-conscious 
and fearful of ridicule to make such a warm gesture of affection (and 
in public, no less!). 
AND, I've just remembered, she broke down hysterically (!) when she 
realized that RON forgave her. When Harry showed he wasn't angry with 
her wasn't all that moved (as I recall, I don't have my copy here 
right now).


Naama, surprised to find herself an H/R shipper.
