well, that was unexpected. But since I don't like Hermione as a character much ( and honestly! who bereates their best friend for their perfect relationship! Just because he/she is insecure in their own!!!) I would not be upset if she breaks up with Ron, as long as she manages to find a solution for the scaly curse;)

But since it is Christmas, I guess there will be a very soopy reason for Ron to be withdrawn.
