Okay, but the original comment by Ebony was along the lines that if 
we're going to read into Hermione's glares at Ron, we have to do the 
same with her glares at Draco.  Not so.  Glares have many meanings, 
yes, including "how can you be so hot and such a $@!#* jerk?" (LOL, 
Heidi!).  The point is that we can go ahead and read romance into one 
glare and not another with perfect logic.  What R/Her claimed that a 
glare in and of itself was a sign of underlying affection?

And you know I love Draco, so no drawing sweeping conclusions about 
R/Hers!  Hey, I'd even go for a D/H romance if Jo wanted to try that 
one on us.  Poor Hermione would spend another chunk of a year with 
Harry AND Ron boycotting her.  

Re: $60 for a date with Lupin, he's definitely worth it, but I'm 
cleaned out.  Besides, I thought I was getting one for free!  Or is 
it hopeless now because it'd be too confusing what with Sirius's ex 
named Amy?  You've got the makings of a good soap there:  Lupin goes 
to the wedding with an ex of Sirius's...you take it from there.

Ever-hopefully,
