Of course, how could I forget about the topic at hand.  Why did 
Hermione talk so much about Harry to the point Krum had to confront 
him?!  You're reasoning makes more than a lot of sense.  I can see 
Hermione feeling relieved to be able to talk about Harry to someone 
who doesn't know him and would never get to personally know him.  
Not knowing that poor Krum would confront Harry about it because 
Krum is crazy for the girl.  And she never finds out that he did, 
does she?  Crouch conveniently came along so Harry's main concern 
was getting Dumbledore and that's that.  And he didn't want to say 
anything because Ron would get jealous?  Is that right?

Greicy, who loves Troels danish proverb as well =)
