Er... Wasn't Gabrielle something like *eight*, in GoF?? If I'm right,
then she'll be something like 10 or 11 in HBP. That's Ginny's age in
PS/SS, when she was just "the Weasley baby girl" ! There is really *no
way* I can see Harry and a pre-pubescent Gabrielle having a romance
together. I'd much more easily see Harry and *Fleur* together... If
anything ever happens between Harry and Gabrielle, it will be way
after Book 7, IMO.

Del replies:
You mean like Ron going (paraphrase) "Hermione, Neville's right, you
ARE a girl" after more than 3 years of friendship with her, or Harry
finding Hermione pretty at the Yule Ball just because she put on a
nice dress and made her hair up :-) ?
