misreading, but it seems to me that RW and HG both have feelings for 
one another but are not ready to admit it, maybe even to themselves.

I think we as adults are putting too many adult emotions into the 
H/R/H relationship. My daughter who is fourteen and can identify 
with Hermione says it's Ron that has Hermione's affection. My 
daughter also has two close friends who are boys. The boys are not 
best friends but they all hang out in the same group. My daughter 
has known one of the boys since 4 th grade and thinks of him as a 
brother (H/H). The other boy she has known since 6 th grade and just 
at the end of their 9 th grade year at an assembly she said to 
me "There's Aaron. He's is so cute but, I could never tell him I 
like him." Now, it happens that I work with Aaron's mother (weird, 
huh?) and she says to me "Aaron always thought that Desiree was out 
of his league and was afraid to tell her that he liked her." Over 
the summer they have been talking on the phone (for hours! Thank God 
for second phone lines!) but they still don't tell each other how 
they feel because they are only 14 and 15 years old (R/H). We as 
adults are much more aware of our feelings and know how to handle 
and go forth on them. Most teenagers are just as confused about how 
they feel as we are about the relationship between H/R/H. So, I am 
agreeing with this post, I guess that it will Hermione and Ron 
together and Harry, either alone like Sirius or with some one else. 
And as I hope for my daughter also, wa-a-a-a-ay in the future.

Have a Happy Loved Filled Day    sad1199
