Don't know if anyone posted this: Harry hearing about Ginny's break up
QUOTE
p. 424
“Yes, they are –but why are you so interested?” asked Hermione, giving Harry a sharp look.
Sounds like jealousy to me.
Accio Harry!

Very similar to how she reacted when it came to Cho.

I agree...Hermione, for a know it all, has feelings too...it's a matter of time before Harry realizes it though...

129 days before he realizes to be exact tongue.gif.

But yeah I agree IMO its quite obvious in a very subtle sorta way that she was jealous. I love all those little scenes I'll take all our subtly over the Herons and Chocos anvils any day biggrin.gif .

I have to say, I love this thread, it makes me feel quite happy reading all these H/Hr moments smile.gif .
I’ve been going through the lists of H/Hr moments I made when I last re-read the books and here’s a collection of subtle moments from PS/SS and CoS that I loved and I don’t think have been mentioned in this thread yet. (All the numbers of the pages are from the paperback Bloomsbury children’s editions)
I’ll post moments from the other books later, when I’ve had time to go through the lists I made for them.

QUOTE
CoS p. 17: “‘I’m not even top of my year at Hogwarts, that’s Hermione, she -’”

QUOTE
CoS p. 44: “‘I would have thought you’d [Draco] be ashamed that a girl of no wizard family [Hermione] beat you in every exam,’ snapped Mr Malfoy. ‘Ha!’ said Harry under his breath, pleased to see Draco looking both abashed and angry.”

Here Harry was proud of Hermione. Being proud of someone is almost like admiring someone for something. And I think both pride and admiration for someone are ‘key ingredients’ for being in love with that person.

QUOTE
CoS p. 251: “‘Your aunt and uncle will be proud, though, won’t they?’ said Hermione, as they got off the train and joined the crowd thronging towards the enchanted barrier. ‘When they hear what you did this year?’”

Here it was the other way around: Hermione being proud of Harry.

QUOTE
CoS p. 134: “‘I’m not going anywhere!’ said Harry fiercely. ‘One of my best friends is Muggle-born, she’ll be the first in line if the Chamber really has been opened –’”

Harry is being protective of Hermione here, and feeling the need to protect someone is also a ‘key ingredient’ for being in love.

QUOTE
PS p. 184: Hagrid: “‘This is Harry Potter an’ Hermione Granger, by the way. Students up at the school. An’ this is Ronan, you two. He’s a centaur.’ ‘We’d noticed,’ said Hermione faintly.”

Harry and Hermione sometimes speak on behalf of each other without checking it with the other first. IMO this is more something your partner in life does for you, not so much something that friends do for each other. I know Harry and Hermione are still just friends, but maybe it’s a clue that they are going to be more than friends one day whistling.gif ?

I think someone has already mentioned this next moment, but I just love this moment!
QUOTE
PS p. 201: “‘Give the flute to Hermione so she can keep him asleep.’ Harry handed the flute over. In the few seconds’ silence, the dog growled and twitched, but the moment Hermione began to play, it fell back into its deep sleep.”

A flute: played by mouth?! A few seconds from Harry lips to Hermione’s lips?! No time to wipe it off, I guess?! It’s almost like kissing!!! wub.gif tongue.gif

QUOTE
CoS p. 249: “Harry didn’t know whether the best bit was Hermione running towards him, screaming ‘You solved it! You solved it!’ or (…) or (…) or (…)”

It’s being mentioned first, so probably it was the best thing, it’s the first thing that pops up in his mind!

Ha! I always noticed this in SS. I remember when I read the book for the first time I was wondering if they really had shared the same flute within seconds -- seems kind of intimate to me. Of course I noticed and thought about this even before I was an H/Hr shipper, because at the time I wasn't shipping anyone in the book series.

Hope no one posted these:
QUOTE
GoF
p. 505
Harry had the impression that Krum was drawing her attention back into himself…
p. 507
…Krum didn’t look happy at all. He attempted to engage Hermione in conversation again but she was too busy cheering Harry to listen.

Harry's the one that just saved two people and nearly drowned but he still notices that Krum looked annoyed while Hermione, Krum's girlfriend, doesn't even remember he exists.

QUOTE
GoF p. 541
“It-oh how ridiculous-”…You are a wicked girl Harry Potter deserves better….
Maybe this is just me, but I sorta thought the part Hermione found "ridiculous" was that Harry deserves better.

QUOTE
OotP p. 165
…leaving Harry and Hermione alone. For some reason, Harry found he did not want to look at Hermione.
This is after Ron and Hermione have been made prefect. Again, maybe I'm looking too much into it but perhaps the reason Harry didn't want to look at Hermione is because he is upset he’s not the prefect with her.

QUOTE
OotP p. 194
“Tell me, how does it feel being second-best to Weasley, Potter?” he asked. “Shut-up Malfoy,” said Hermione sharply.
I think Hermione's reaction hints "Potter will never be second-best to Weasley."

QUOTE
OotP p. 328
It was the first time she had ever said Voldemort’s name, and it was this, more than anything else, that calmed Harry.
I just like the effect it has on Harry tongue.gif

Especially when you consider Ginny saying Voldie's name didn't even register with Harry. Couldn't care less, I guess! WOOT!
