I guess I forgot to mention that this also comes out
several times in the books, like the Rita Skeeter
articles.  It seems like everyone just assumes Harry
and Hermione will get together.  Heck, I admit I even
did at first:)  I guess it just does depend on weather
Hermione has feelings for Harry (I think it could go
either way), but it also depends on weather Harry has
feelings for Hermione.

Lol, good one!!  Yes, even though I have a differing
opinion, I do hope they all continue to be friends for
the rest of their lives!!

I guess I didn't mention with the H/G that I hope once
we do get to know Ginny, Harry finds something out
about her that he can not live without:)
