Okay, that last one was me, and it was a JOKE!

Seriously, I can't imagine what Ron and Hermione would talk about any 
better than I can imagine them in bed.  I mean, I don't know what they 
talk about NOW, but I do completely accept that they are very close 
friends.  

I don't know what H&H would talk about either, nor what they talk 
about now.  I don't even know what Harry & Ron talk about, except 
it no doubt includes Quidditch.  Again, I buy into their friendship 
totally--I see how much all three love and trust each other and how 
much they enjoy each other's company--even without witnessing any of 
the heart-to-hearts that I would want to have in any of my close 
relationships.

All of which might be the reason that I'm less a "I really want this 
relationship to happen" shipper than an "I think this is where JKR's 
heading" shipper, because I can't see that far into the future with 
these folks.  Heck, I can't even tell you what I talk about with my 
closest friends without it sounding pretty ordinary (What's going on 
with our jobs.  What's going on with our relationships.  What movies 
we've seen lately.  Etc.), but it isn't--these conversations are the 
stuff love is made of.  All of which is to say (yes, she DOES have a 
point) that you can't easily judge a ship's seaworthiness by the 
answer to the question "What would they talk about?"
