Oh?  There's at least a colorable argument that he fell for Hermione.
After all, the R/H shippers cite a long trend of evidence that starts
back at CoS indicating Ron's interest in Hermione.  Ron is susceptible
to Fleur's veela charms, but I'm not sure if a veela-induced crazy
moment where he invites her to the Yule Ball qualifies as "falling" for
her.  But, there've been lots of posts "reminding" us H/H shippers how
silly we're being.  Ron *clearly* fell for Hermione in GoF, don't 'cha
know.  Hmmmm.......

I'm mainly just kidding on this point btw.  But, it is what a lawyer
would call a straight-face argument nonetheless.

(who wants the Potential Romance Pairings FAQ posted ASAP so everyone
will know that the H/H types do recognize that Ron likes Hermione)
