Ah  . . . . something is going on from *Ron's* end.  It's alot less
clear whether Hermione has any feelings for Ron in return though.  I can
argue point-for-point that Hermione doesn't return his feelings at all
in fact (or doesn't *necessarily* return his feelings; it can be said to
be ambiguous in the instances that most people cite to support that Ron
& Hermione belong together).  I think she has her eye on Harry.  It's
the Farmer in the Dell Theory that we've discussed before (Ron likes
Hermione; Hermione likes Harry; Harry likes noone or someone outside the
Trio (like Cho in Bk 4)).

I also disagree that the chemistry between Ron & Hermione is "right."

Yes, it would bring him into conflict with Ron.  Ron might well be
motivated to betray Harry at some point because of this  . . . .
