I don't see any reason why Harry wouldn't continue as seeker.  Do you 
mean keeper perhaps?

I believe Krum was old enough to graduate at the end of this term, so 
I don't think he'd come back to Hogwarts as a student.  I also don't 
know what vacancy he (or Fleur) would fill, but maybe Dumbledore'll 
take them in just to have them handy in the fight against Voldemort.  
Also, I don't believe Hermione is particularly fond of Krum -- if 
anything she liked the attention (and what 14-year old girl 
wouldn't?  :) and is nice enough to go on a date with someone she's 
not attracted to if he asked (I believe -- her treatment of Neville 
comes to mind) but I doubt she has any serious plans to remain close 
to Krum; regardless of what he would like!
