I've been on an Austen binge lately and had just been re-reading P&P. In fact, I had just read Darcy's 1st proposal the evening before this, so when I saw Hermoine describe what Draco said to her, I couldn't stop giggling.
As much as I like the idea of an alternity-verse Hermione/Draco pairing, it seems to me she's sincerely not interested. (In addition to her self-esteem problem that makes me want to give her a big hug.) When she says that the boys at school are so young, and the men in the Order are too much older or already involved with someone, it rings true to me - much more than the stereotypical "girls mature faster than boys" thing. Given her life experiences, even the ISS kids must to seem really young and sheltered to her.
(Sorry, I'd provide a link, but I haven't figured that out yet. First post here and all.)
