Oh, thank you! I hope the fact that she can still make a pig's breakfast of things makes Hermione seem more human. I've noticed some of the most scholarly and intelligent people I know are the ones who have the most problems with common sense and aren't very street savvy.

Glad you liked the interaction, too. I like Ron being all understanding and caring and whatnot. He's just a big marshmallow wrapped in a gruff husk. LOL
