'Hermione's lip trembled and she suddenly dashed at Harry and threw

know"'(PS "Through the Trapdoor" p.208 UK edition)

This is not a scene where Hermione was trying to find an
excuse to hug or kiss Harry. This is a scene when they are
11 years old and Hermione is simply showing emotion towards
her friend in a critical situation. I don't think that
anyone would think of this as a shipping scene.

Gina asked:
I do. How many times has she ever done that to Ron compared to the
times she has done so with Harry?


kitten says

At least once that I remember off hand (so it's a tie)....

"Hermione flung her Arms around Ron's neck and broke down 
completely."page 292 in the American paperback

This is during the scene when Ron tells Hermione that she will not  
have to work on buckbeak's appeal alone anymore.

I can safely bet all my money in my pocket against all the money in 
your pocket that you probably won't consider this a "shippy moment" 
so...round and round we go ;) it's what makes shipping so much fun!
