And this is what sometimes makes me wonder how well Harry
and Hermione go together.

Take that quest away, and what is there to keep them
together? What would they do and talk about?

Hermione seems (to me) to be a person who loves and needs
challenges, and she also enjoys helping people (whether they
want that help or not) and tries to push them to do things
the way she thinks they should be done.

If she thinks her idea or conclusion is right (which is
always <g>), she can be very forceful and doesn't really
take other peoples' feelings into account.

Harry, because of his situation, feels he needs to fulfill
this quest. He feels responsible for the crimes Voldemort
commits, since he seems to be the *one* who can defeat him.

But what once Voldemort is vanquished and Harry is alive?

Maybe in the next two books JKR will show us Harry and
Hermione talking about other things besides Harry's
problems.

They just don't seem to do anything together that isn't
somehow connected to the latest problem or mystery.

I'm also hoping that Harry will develop a little more common
sense and use his brain to solve some of his problems
himself.

It's getting a bit tiresome to wait for Hermione to once
again have the solution to whatever comes up ;)
