But all those Harry/Hermione shippers must be crying themselves to sleep - as any sane person knew. I actually saw one of them argue that Ron giving Hermione a bottle of perfume meant less than Harry giving her a book - yeah - cause my husband wouldn't smash someone in the face if they were a friend and gave me perfume - books - no smashing
Calalily, I have seen that Ron and Hermione were an item since the Order of the Phoenix movie...she was all over Ron, worrying about his Feelings, and yelling at Harry for letting Ron get hurt....it was quite obvious after that. (I'm not spoiling anything, am I? My son is reading the book and won't tell me anything.)
