Dear Merlin. I love my brother, but he really can be a thick-headed git sometimes. Does he not realize how many guys would kill to have Hermione Granger look at them the way she looks at him? I swear if he doesn't make a move soon I'm going to bat-bogey hex him into the next century. At the same time, I can't completely blame him because he never was the brightest guy on the planet. But Hermione on the other hand, well, it's amazing how sometimes the smartest people can't see what's right in front of them. She'd never believe me if I told her that Ron liked her! It's maddening—everyone but them seems to know that it's the most obvious thing in the world. Maybe I should plot with Harry about getting them together. It would give me an excuse to talk to him….
