Good point about the HP-shipping wars. I was talking to my friends recently about how I'm not rabidly one way or another about Hr/Ron vs Hr/H and how it's so easy to get ride of Ron without screwing up the characterization if you want to write Harry/Hermione: Ron and her dated and it didn't work out.

I actually read that one as Agatha just having no experience with flirting at all, so she doesn't get what he's trying to say.
