I agree that Ron has feelings for Hermione, but there is no 
indication of Hermione having any romantic feelings for Ron.

You do realize that Hermione disliked Fleur from the beginning 
because she started off being disrespectful towards Dumbledore during 
his speech. Also if you bothered reading the whole passage you'd 
realize that Fleur also kissed Harry.

How exactly is that proof of Hermione's affections for Ron? If 
anything I'd say she was insulting his intelligence.

Seems to me she was feeling more insulted that Ron only asked her as 
a last resort and didn't have a date and not because he actually 
wanted to go to the ball with her.

And no romantic sparks developed during their time together or Ginny, 
George or Fred would have picked it up. The fact that they didn't 
just indicates that there is nothing between Hermione and Ron. 

Furthermore ever notice the two people that Hermione has feelings for 
Gilderoy, a famous wizard that supposedly fought against the dark 
arts and also a former seeker, and Krum, a famous Seeker who also 
happens to be silent and brooding, share many characteristics with 
Harry, which imo just cements the fact that she is probably going to 
develop feelings for Harry. Also the fact that Harry and Cho broke up 
with each other partially because of Hermione, that fact that Harry 
praises her constantly, and the fact that Krum tells Harry that 
Hermione talks constantly about Harry is just more evidence for the 
H/Hr ship.

Which rarely ever lasts. Another strike against R/Hr.
