"Can't you think of anyone who'd go with Ron?"  he said, lowering his 
voice so that Ron wouldn't hear.
"What about Hermione Granger?"  said Parvati.
"She's going with someone else."
Parvati looked astonished.
"Ooooh - who?"  she said keenly.

Seems more like they are astonished that Hermione actually had a date 
to the ball since their whole intention was just to find someone that 
will go out with Ron and of course they think about Hermione since 
she hangs out with the trio and because she is generally viewed as 
unattractive so naturally they assume no one would ask her out.
