I agree, and I also think Hermione is trying to prove a point. The boys take 
her for granted and think she will always be there for them. She doesn't want 
to be their "second choice" and even if she doesn't like either of them 
romantically, she still wants to be treated special and not the "backup date" for 
Ron and Harry. I think she goes with Viktor to prove that she's wanted by other 
guys and other guys think she's pretty. I believe she likes Ron, deep down, 
and cares about his opinion. Ron gets very jealous, and it might just be a 
"big-brother, protective reaction" right now, but when he gets older, he'll come to 
realize that he really likes Hermione. I hope they have another Yule Ball in 
the 6th or 7th book. Maybe Ron can ask her then. Can they only go if they stay 
for Christmas?
