 Hermione is not just filling her days with studying waiting for Ron 
to notice her.  Ron, with that ugly jealous tantrum at the Yule Ball 
made it clear that he has feeling for her and if Hermione wanted, she 
could have him. 

  The thing is Hermione doesn't have romantic feelings for Ron. There 
is nothing in the books, either obvious and/or implied, that Hermione 
has feeling for Ron beyond friendship.As a matter of fact if it 
wasn't for Harry they wouldn't even be friends. If IF! Hermione has 
any feelings for anybody it's Harry. Is Harry clueless? More 
overwhelmed with the fight to the death with Voldemort. 

 So sorry but Hermione has no feelings for Ron. Besides I'm thinking 
that in the end the Trio will each go their separate ways.
