I guess I have more faith in the ability of Rowling.  This isn't a  romance 
novel, but many such novels have the characters meet at the beginning of  the 
book and be in love by the end.  In many such cases only a matter of  weeks has 
taken place.
 
If book six and seven are written in the same manner as previous books then  
we are talking two years passage of time.  How many of you met and fell in  
love with someone in the course of less than two years?  I agree that logic  
points to Luna, Ginny or Hermione because they are known to us, but remember  
that Luna wasn't known to us just one book ago yet many are  now willing to pair 
her with either Harry or Ron.   
 
With JKR, I wouldn't be so fast to rule out anything.  I think most  people 
say there is not enough time for a new girl simply because they ship  one of 
the already available girls.  So do I, but I think JKR still has  time to do 
anything she pleases to do.
