She falls into a business-like tone when discussing things she
doesn’t like and may not want to admit.
For instance, she reluctantly admits that Harry has better scores
than she does in Defense.

“Me?” said Harry, now grinning more broadly than ever.
“No I’m not, you’ve beaten me in every test –”
“Actually, I haven’t,” said Hermione coolly. “You beat
me in our third year – the only year we both sat the
test and had a teacher who actually knew the subject.
But I’m not talking about test results, Harry. Look
what you’ve done!”

And again she has the same tone in Chapter 21 when she discusses
Harry’s kiss.
Harry’s kiss.
Hermione took matters out of his hands.
“Is it Cho?” she asked in a businesslike way. “Did she
corner you after the meeting?”
Numbly surprised, Harry nodded. Ron sniggered,
breaking off when Hermione caught his eye.
“So-er-what did she want?” he asked in a mock casual
voice.
“She –” Harry began, rather hoarsely; he cleared his
throat and tried again. “She-er-”
“Did you kiss?” asked Hermione briskly.
Ron sat up so fast that he sent his ink bottle flying
all over the rug. Disregarding this completely he
stared at Harry.
“Well?” he demanded.
Harry looked from Ron’s expression of mingled
curiosity and hilarity to Hermione’s slight frown, and
nodded.

Her tone isn’t indicative of someone who is enjoying the
conversation or happy for Harry or remotely pleased by it at all.
And someone who isn’t slightly annoyed doesn’t use phrases like
“corner”.
Some people think she's completely unaffected by Harry's little
forays. I disagree.
Also, all throughout this scene she is continually referenced as
looking at Ron in disgust...so, yeah, clearly a sign that she
doesn't care at all about Harry because she's so totally in love
with Ron.
I'm not saying she and Harry should be all romantical, my point is
that I don't quiet understand how I'm expected to eat lead anvils
and believe that a smart, beautiful, independent girl like
Hermione could ever fall for a dunderhead like Ron.
