depend on her more. I've been wondering why. I don't think it was for 
shipping reasons, at least not only for shipping reasons.  If she 
puts Hemione with Harry or Ron, it will be for the good of the bigger 
plot. With Harry and Hermione so close now, I think it would be the 
best way for Draco to hurt Harry.  I think he's always wanted to get 
Hermione anyways, but now, with his revenge rage, he might do more 
than hurt her.

I really noticed that Harry and Hermione were thrown together at 
pivotal points, dealing with Umbridge and at the MOM and Ron was sort 
of left out. This has happened before but not to this degree. I was 
very distressed to think that it may be to make Draco's revenge much 
more poignant. I certainly hope not. She's always been able to handle 
the little ferret before. But if he's mad enough, sheer force would 
overwhelm her. I think this speculation does not bode well for a 
Hogwarts that would be "back to normal" in Book 6. Could Hogwarts be 
an even greater battlefield next book than it was in Book 5?
