Hermione?  If she does (as well she might if she's kept her eyes and 
ears open), mightn't she have asked Hermione whether she has any 
interest in her brother?  No doubt she'd keep the answer to herself 
if so, but all the same, the thought is intriguing.  If Hermione does 
fancy Ron, Ginny, a trustworthy and good-hearted girl, would surely 
be able to provide some discreet help in getting the two together.  
OTOH, the plot is even *thicker* if Hermione fancies Harry!!  Hoo hoo 
hoo.  Knowing of Ginny's infatuation, what would Hermione do?  I 
think her best bet in this case would be not to tell her, focus on 
the Krum situation and remain neutral and non-committal about Ron and 
Harry, "No, we're all just friends", rather than wrack poor Ginny 
with anguish and jealousy by telling her that she wants Harry too 
(and gets to see him every day, etc.etc.).  All the same, if things 
were to develop between Hermione and Harry, this could put serious 
stress on Hermione's friendship with Ginny... Ginny might well feel 
hurt and betrayed to find that her confidante about Harry had run off 
with Harry herself!


Another interesting angle would be between Harry and Ron. Obviously 
Ron likes Hermione. But if Hermione ends up liking Harry instead of 
Ron, what would Ron feel? He's already jealous of Harry's fame, of 
Harry's Quidditch ability, and now Harry goes off with a girl Ron 
likes. This would easily make Ron turn against Harry.

At the end of GoF, Hermione did give Harry a kiss on the cheek, and 
it didn't mention her doing the same to Ron. Being 14 years old and 
inexperienced, Ron probably would be jealous if he didn't get the 
same.

I would prefer to see Harry go out with another girl, most likely 
Cho. And then let Ron go out with Hermione, which definitely ends up 
in a lot of arguing between those two, and Harry being the middleman 
again.

As for Ginny, she started out as a groupie, but in the end I think 
she'll become a close part of the innercircle, and Harry ends up 
having a soft spot for her. Maybe at the end of book 7, Harry finally 
realizes that he likes Ginny all along, and they end up together.

if Harry doesn't get Cho, then I will..
