Book four? You mean the book where Hermione alone believed Harry unquestionably and stood by him against the entire school? The one where she invents a whole new spell to help him? That one? The only thing that stopped them getting together then is Rowling’s own self-admitted “mistake” of wanting her to get with Ron, and Harry being a dumbass which was, at least, fully in-character.
The one where, when it was JUST them, they rapidly grew frustrated with each other. Where they had no idea what to do to relax, where they functioned more like dysfunctional siblings than a romantic couple.
Reasonings dont really matter tbh. Rowling wanted Ron and Hermione, so clearly she needs to write the story in a way to subvert what will be the main ship people think of, AKA Harry and Hermione. It clearly worked as intended, since it made you decide Harry and Hermione would never work. Obviously im not criticizing, since that just means you have decent reading comp. If the author wants a ship, itll happen. Just read the story as if the HP portion was AU
