Munro-eli: I don't completely buy that. You can make a good argument for the summer after fourth year, and I'll give you fifth year. But the sixth year doesn't cut it, and since they actually got together in the seventh year, it means they reached the height of their development and doesn't technically count. The two were furious with each other for a majority of their sixth year. Whatever romantic development the two had achieved had been temporarily halted for a majority of the time (though, of course, it was eventually regained). Seventh year: fair enough. I still maintain my previous argument,

Just in case I was never clear enough: I really don't mind Ron/Hermione. I like them individually, but them together does nothing for me. I neither like it nor hate it. I'm just upset that Harry got a really crappy love interest. I would have been perfectly fine with him ending up with Luna or Cho. Ginny? Ugh.
