LOL That's too sweet, Gina. And I agree with you, which is why I 
always thinks that Hermione's statement works against R/Hr. I mean, 
even in the non-shippy way, she could have stated how she felt about 
the gift differently, maybe with a "thanks for the gift, Ron." added, 
but we don't even get that. I don't want to speculate right now, but 
it sounded almost as if she wanted to make sure to him that she 
wasn't interesting in gifts like that (or maybe gifts like that from 
him).
