Couldn't that be part of SPEW as well instead of being shippy? Maybe 
she is taking the time to write to viktor because she wants to get 
him involved somehow. A wizard of his stature coming out for house 
elf rights would be pretty persuasive. A letter that size would 
indicate to me the kind of obsessive passion that colors everything 
of SPEW that Hermione engages in. I'm not sure it has anything to do 
with either H/R or H/H. 

As for shipping. I bet that Ron dates Luna, at least for a little 
while, in HBP. Even if he isn't that attracted to her, she would be 
a *safe* date because it seems pretty obvious that she has a crush 
on him. could be a safe venue to get some experience with the 
opposite sex for young Mr. Weasley.
