Whatever they've been talking about for the past five and half years 
that they've been friends. They've been repeatedly shown to hang out 
together (just the two of them) when Harry's been elsewhere. We can 
guess this time was not filled with awkward silences. I think a lot 
of the tension between them is meant to be romantic (or sexual, if 
you want to take it there) frustration. It won't be there once they 
actually establish a relationship. Sure, they'll still argue about 
stuff. Most couples do.

Hermione has always needlessly worried about her test results (it 
was even her bogart in PoA). In HBP she says "I know I failed 
everything," which is when Ron tells her to shut up. A litte snippy, 
but come on-- everyone, including Hermione, knows she didn't fail 
her tests. I liken this to a slim and fit but insecure girl 
complaining that she's fat. Hermione doesn't need sympathy and 
support here-- she needs to be told she's being silly. 

This is all in my opinion, of course!
