Hermione is Ron and Harry's best friend.  It just sticks in my craw 
that she could think so poorly of the girl her son and "son" think so 
well of.  Somehow I don't see Harry or Ron being still-tongued if 
someone had bothered them in school...to say nothing of Gred and 
Forge.

I am sure the whole house knows that Malfoy is not beloved of 
Harry/Ron, so it strikes me as weird that Molly doesn't know that 
Hermione's okay with Ron/Harry, enough to dismiss Skeeter's article 
as a fat load of codswallop.
