Alright, I just had to commment.

In GoF, the only reason Hermione hangs with Harry instead of Ron is because 
he had no one. Ron has his family and the other Gryffindors. The entire 
school has shunned Harry. Hermione believes Harry didn't put his name in 
Goblet and really she has no reason to believe he did in the first place. 
Ron and Harry had a prior conversation about trying to get past the age 
line. It only makes sense. Ron can be very jealous of Harry. He's always 
shunned to the side.

It was also mentioned that Hermione shuffled back and forth between the two, 
trying to get them to make up.

Also, don't forget, the books are told from Harry's POV. Therefore, two 
things: 1) Harry wouldn't neccesarily know about the time Ron and Hermione 
spent together and 2) There wouldn't be much of a story if both friends shut 
him out. He's got to have at least one person in his corner.

All this above rambling leads to a point--> Krum was in the library because 
Hermione was in the library. Harry was with Hermione because 1) Everyone 
hated him except her and 2) because Hermione was the only one speaking to 
him it's only natural he'd follow her to the library and 3) he and Hermione 
research stuff for the First Task.

Therefore, because Krum was spending all his time in the library 'stalking' 
Hermione and Harry & Hermione were researching in the library...it's only 
natural that Krum would suspect Harry and Hermione had something going on 
from his point of view.


Susan :o)
(Here's to hoping I made at least a little sense)
