It won't be as eagerly aniticpated as Harry Potter and Cho Chang's first kiss, but it will be inevitable.
Ron and Hermione will have their first kiss in the "Deathly Hallows." At some point, Tonks and Lupin will too, but that will be even more disappointing than Ron and Hermione.
It's been clear for a while that Ron and Hermione are crazy for each other. There have been subtle hints, hand-holding, hugs, tears, and attempts to make the other jealous. Ron and Hermione have been wanting to kiss each other since "The Chamber of Secrets." Finally, in the last installment of the Harry Potter books, they will kiss.
Whether either survive the "Deathly Hallows" is another question. In my estimation, Ron is going to die in the "Deathly Hallows." He has to for Harry to be able to complete his task of destroying Lord Voldemort.
This has all the elements of "Romeo and Juliet" only Hermione is not shallow enough to want to commit suicide because her boyfriend is dead. She might feel like dying, but she will live and fight on in his memory. It will make her stronger and one of Harry's most powerful allies. Not that she isn't already.
