Sure, although if you're making conversation with someone you don't 
know very well, what do you talk about? Things you might have in 
common. Harry is something in common between Viktor and Hermione; Ron 
isn't.

Maybe not, and you're right, there isn't canon evidence that Hermione 
is tight with Ginny, but Catherine does make a good point - Ginny 
knows about Hermione's date, but Lavender and Pavarti don't. Of 
course, if it wasn't meant to be a secret then there are reasons they 
might not know (the simplest - they didn't get around to asking 
before she decided not to tell anyone else), but it does seem that 
Hermione might have told Ginny about the date in confidence and did 
intend to keep it a secret.
