I hope that as smart as hermione is she'll figure out her "needs" for Ron are artificial' AKA love potion, and hope she returns to harry as his best friend or more. A'so I see 'Both' Luna and Tonks as additional loves here.
I also see Molly Weasley embroiled here as well. (Harry HAS to rescue Hermione!)
With all the contracts I see a few ways for all three to be a buffer for Harry here.
Please continue!

- Ron is not doping Hermione. She's just making a fairly common mistake of believing physical attraction and great sex equals love.
- To be clear Ron is NOT the Bad Guy in this.
- Hermione does not need rescuing. She needs to grow up a little, that's all. She will, don't worry.
- Molly has nothing to do with Ron and Hermione's relationship. Harry's problem with the Weasleys have nothing to do with Ron -or- Hermione.
- Luna is a potential love interest, Tonks is not. She is six years older than he is. At his age, six years is a difference of an entire lifetime. When he's thirty the difference won't matter, but at 17 it matters a lot. A 17 year old (even one as together as the Harrys I write) isn't mature enough for a serious relationship with a grown woman. My apoligies to all the 17 yer olds out there, but when you're 30 you will look back at you at 17 and wonder how you managed to generate enough brain power to move your arms and legs. If it helps, at 50 you'll look back at 30 the same way.
- The Contracts will be fun. All will be turned down, but some will be fun, and others will lead to new relationships.
