There is very little mention of Hermione having any other friends but Harry 
and Ron. Most of the other girls appear to be jealous of her for a few 
reasons that I can see, and in all honesty, I don't see Hermione as the kind 
of girl with whom making friends is exceptionally easy. Yes, she helps out 
people like Neville, but Neville is on some level Harry and Ron's friend.  
Hermione is a bit bossy. She *is* a 'know-it-all'. And, she is muggleborn. To 
many in the WW these aren't the best traits in a person. 

So with all of this in mind, in makes sense to me that she would talk to Krum 
about Harry. She probably talked about Ron, too, but Harry is, in Krum's 
mind, the threat. 

I think it also may be possible that the trio will always be 'just friends'. 
Hermione seems a bit too sensible to risk her friendships for romance...

Just some thoughts,
