SHIP: Hermione-Krum

[snacain]

No: HPFGUIDX 33036

I am new to this wonderful forum- so I will probably make dozens of 
enemies with my first few posts!!

I am not convinced that at this stage(end of GoF) Hermione has 
intense romantic feelings for either Harry or Ron. I think she likes 
Krum.  And(ducking instinctively) I think thats just fine.  While at 
the worlds cup she says"he was rather brave wasnt he?" about Krum. 
Although he is famous and has groupies swarming him for autographs- 
he hangs out in the library hoping for a chance to talk to nice, 
bright Hermione.  I like that about him.

I suspect Hermiones crossness with Ron(following the dance) stems 
from her recogniton that he never even thought of her as a "date 
prospect". he doesnt think of her as a 'girl". Ron is clearly furious 
that she goes with Viktor -this may be a sign of romantic jealousy- 
but it might also be that he is jealous of Hermione.  She doesnt even 
know what a "wonky font" is and yet she has caught the attention of 
his hero. 

I will not deign to predict what will happen in future books- but 
thus far I remain unconvinced of any brewing roamnce amongst our 
beloved trio.

Fire away!!!
