But ask a H/Hr believer like myself and, apparently, mcmaxslb (in her
post for "Re: Adolescent Development in OOTP"), and we are going to
tell you exactly the opposite because we have "proof" that Hr is in
love with H (although he's too thick to notice), with Krum's jealousy
over Harry on GoF, and with her kiss on the cheek after a
conversation with Krum at the end of GoF, and how she left Ron's very
important championship game without so much as a protest to go with
Harry and Hagrid to the forest (I'm a H/Hr shipper, and this even
hurts me! Specially when we know she hasn't missed a single game of
Harry), and her business-like tone when she interrogated him about
Cho's kiss.

I think that Ron and Hermione are meant for each other. It would be 
very rude for Hermione to go to the ball and sit talking, the whole 
night, to Krum about Ron who she has feelings for.  She talks about 
Harry because he is her friend. If you look closely at GoF the girls 
always know the truth about who likes who, and the guys are always 
dead wrong.  I can't remember their names but one of the girls that 
end up going to the ball with Ron and Harry says to Harry: "Ron isn't 
going with Hermione?" (I'm paraphrasing a lot.) Krum doesn't have a 
clue because, well, he is a guy.    

Also, I think that Hermione has realized what her place in the Harry 
saga is.  She has committed herself to be an apostle so to speak, and 
knows the importance of defeating Voldemort. She is part of the cause 
for good, and understands her part.  She is a very brave girl.
