Pippin:
It sounds like the present a teenage girl  might give who is frantic
to avoid anything with the slightest boy-girl connotations and
who wants to treat both boys the same, the one who's her old
friend and the one with the not-so-secret crush on her.

Last we saw, Krum was  seriously courting Hermione. Until she's
dashed his hopes for good, it would be a WW faux pas for her to offer
encouragement to Ron, even so much as  a chocolate box.
