I agree. First, if there is going to be R/H, Ron will have to 
actually recognize and admit that he's attracted to Hermione <g>. 
Starting off with "And Hermione and Ron hooked up over the summer, so 
let's go on from there, shall we?" would be unrealistic - and lucky 
for us, out of character for JKR.

I'm wildly curious to know if Hermione goes to Bulgaria. I'm saying 
she doesn't, but that's only a feeling (she doesn't go in the stories 
I've written - oops, did a plug just slip in there? <g>). If she does 
go, I think this would force Ron into a response closer to his true 
feelings than his "you can't talk to Krum because he's the enemy!" 
line from GoF.

Ebony, you know you have closet R/Hr tendencies - just admit it <g>.

I just glanced back over this and I realize it's essentially a "me 
too" post. Please excuse me; it's my first day of vacation, and it's 
made me a bit giddy.

Best,
