Luna Lovegood and Ron Weasley
Luna Lovegood is a Ravenclaw student one year younger than Harry. Rowling has often said that Luna is the "anti-Hermione", as Luna believes in things on faith alone, while Hermione grounds her views in facts and logic. Though nothing ever happens between her and Ron Weasley, she appears to have a crush on him when she first meets him. They share a carriage in a train with a bunch of other people and she laughs a little too loudly at one of his jokes, stares at him often and admits she finds him funny.
