[HPforGrownups] BBC article mention of H/Hr SHIP mentions

Alright, I remember a few weeks (?) ago, there was a short discussion about a *misled* news article that stated that Harry and Hermione would develop a relationship in GoF.

However, if any mention of such assertions being made in respects to the OotP, I missed them.

Anyway, I found this at the bottom of an article on BBC News.

"Harry has already been interested in a "quidditch" team-mate in Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire, the fourth book in the series - but will now develop more of an interest in Hermione, one of his best friends. "

While I doubt that the BBC has anything special -- or particularly true -- here, I'm wondering -- where is this rumor coming from?  Does it have any basis in truth?  I find it hard to believe that JKR would reveal anything like this concerning a yet unpublished installment, but so many people seem to be *so sure* about it.

Harrumph.  They're kids, aren't they?  I mean, I know that hormones are taking effect, but *grumbles*...*I* never went in for any of that gushy-feely stuff when I was that age.  

*sigh*, oh well.  Ships JKR has promised us, so ships there shall be.

Logically, I think R/Hr is pretty much inevitable, but I *really, really* hope I'm wrong.  The idea just makes me shudder -- and H/G *makes whining noise in the back of her throat* No, please no.
