Or, at least they matter to Ron, who has been smitten with the dazzlingly beautiful Fleur Delacour. When it comes to beauty Hermione knows she cannot compete with Fleur or “the curvy and attractive barmaid, Madam Rosmerta’ who has also captured Ron’s eye.12 So before the Yule Ball Hermione assumes that she hasn’t got what it takes to interest Ron romantically. When Viktor later arrives at Hogwarts for the Triwizard Tournament, Hermione doesn’t pay him much attention at first except to show her disdain for all the attention he attracts by being famous. In the book, Krum attacks Cedric Diggory in the maze with the Cruciatus Curse.
Ron walks by Hermione without looking at her because he’s bitter. He glares at her and overall acts like a dick at every turn. At the dance, Harry notes that Hermione is deep in talk with Viktor and that they both seem enthusiastic about their conversation. “I’m going to bed,” Hermione snapped, and she swept off toward the girls’ staircase without another word.
