Becoming OotP - pairings

[Elfëa]

So, what do you think - will there be pairings in OotP? Who shall go with whom?

[qleap]

I'm a die-hard Ron&Hermione fan :D

[Colli]

:D Well, I'm not die-hard, but Ron/Hermione.. it's so obvious. :)

And I wouldn't mind Snape getting a little loving, either..

[Seriphus]

Colli that's pretty much what I was going to post. :p Definitely Ron/Hermione, but I don't really care about the students' relationships. I'd like Snape to have a bit of a love interest, though.

[Elfëa]

So we all see it coming, but will it surprise us when it comes?

Herm/Ron I mean :p

[amrael]

Snape/Lupin is the one I want to see...

...and the one I won't see at all. :(


I can't really see Ron and Herm together, as in real life: far too different in tastes and interests. But as an option for the books I think we'll see it, and be fun to watch. :D

[Fleurdelacour]

RON AND HERMIONE! :D :D :D :D

Oh, I'll cry and squeal if they get together!

Oh no one voted for Harry and Hermione?

l'amour est dans le ciel dans Hogwarts!! :D

RAH!!!

But will Hermione get pregant! ;) :D

[Ravenclaw]

I highly doubt Hermione will carry child before the age of seventeen... it's too... melodrama/soap opera/Your fan fic ;)

lol

Ron and Hermione can be seen from ten miles away. Though she's not the obvious type, Joanne, she always hints at things and this will happen, I'm pretty sure, if not in OotP than in the next book. But two questions rise in my mind about it.

#1. In what way will she do it? She's known not only for doing the unexpected, but for doing the expected in an unexpected way... does that make sense? I think Elfëa mentioned that.
#2. What will become of it? Does she mean for it to be a lasting relationship or teenage horomones? Does she eventually want them to have a falling out because of it, or for one of them to die (:eek: heaven for bid) and leave the other heartbroken? (As I've said before, misery makes great plot devices and is interesting to both read and write about.)

And what's wrong with that? :p ;)


I hope she doesn't decide to kill Ron... Oh god, I couldn't deal with that... :eek: :( Or Hermione, no, she wouldnt kill off a female lead would she?

She is unpredictiable... She could kill SNAPE! ;)

1. I think she won't do it, not at least at this point - unless she has found a good surprising way to do it.
2. I think they'll fall out of it, as I can't really see Ron and Herm together, as in real life: far too different in tastes and interests. So, in the end, I think Herm might turn to Harry after all... but, this is all speculation only :)

[Peregrinning Took]

I voted other....

Hermione & Malfoy!!! :D:D:D

[Elfëa]

hmm...

I think I see Ginny/Malfoy much easier than Herm/Malfoy, because Ginny could "date" Malfoy to get Harry's attention... and rebel the family of course :p

[Ravenclaw]

I don't see Malfoy and Ginny or Malfoy and Hermione together for the same reasons some of you don't see Hermione and Ron together: They are completely different characters.

Ginny/Draco or even Hermione/Draco is good for fan fiction, but in the books, I doubt it :( sorry. Also, even if Ginny wants to date him, which I believe is possible in the books (for reasons mentioned-- Harry, and all, making herself noticed, etc.) I don't think Draco would 'sink so low to date a Weasley.' And it's hard to find a Draco/Ginny FAN FICTION that keeps both of them in character. Usually, I either find a softer Draco or harder Ginny to fit the personality of the other. As for Hermione/Draco, now, um... I don't know. I've actually read good Hermione/Draco stories with both of them incredibly in character, but I don't think so...

As much as many of us would like to see Draco fight for the good, which he very well may do, there's still a chance, anything can happen with JKR, I don't think he will... He seems to want to follow in his father's footsteps more than anything.

However...

Trama can do anything to a person. What if the person who dies in OotP is someone close to MALFOY, not Harry. One of two things could happen: Draco could blame it on Harry or, Draco could blame it on Voldemort. And that's the only way I see Draco going good. Unless he respects Snape more than his father.... Maybe then he could date Hermione or Ginny, but even if he decides not to be a Death Eater, I don't think he'd be that accepting so quickly.

Of course, this is all my opinion, and I could be entirely off base, even with my Ron/Hermione speculations.

[Monkfish]

HARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINEHARRY/HERMOINE:D

Lupin/Fletcher:D

[Fleurdelacour]

That's just wrong! Plain wrong! :p

RON AND HERMIONE WILL GET TOGETHER! THEY MUST!! :D

[Elfëa]

:LOL:

:rolleyes:

But Rav, opposites attrack each other... but what they forget to tell is they fight to death...

Is there anyone CLOSE to Malfoy? Of course, as the books aren't through yet, someone may close to him. I've read a good fic of Hermione/Draco which I think stays in character yet goes deeper - Malfoy's relationship with his father must be rather complicated. I mean, he adores his father but...

ash, I can't get it to words today :(

[amrael]

You mean apart from having a threesome with Crabbe and Goyle? :p

[Elfëa]

but I seriously doupt that Crabbe and Goyle are intelligent enough to be more than thugs... :p

[amrael]

Well, for some things intelligence isn't absolutely necessary...

[Moxie]

From what we have of canon so far, I'm convinced Draco respects, admires, probably fears his father, but the only person Draco loves (besides perhaps himself ;)) is his mother. Pansy, of course, is a useful accessory for formal occasions (much as Narcissa seems to be to Lucius, they didn't seem a particularly loving couple to me) and such, but no real emotional attachment. On a related note, and in sort of a response to Ravenclaw, I've speculated before that the only thing that could turn Draco away from the Dark might be for Voldemort (and/or Lucius) to be responsible for Narcissa's death, and for Draco to know this.

I don't see Hermione going out with any of the male students in her year yet; they're simply not mature enough (remember, she's actually a little older than the others since PoA) and/or would feel threatened by her devotion to her studies. Though I don't see it lasting, I thought she and Viktor are good for each other at least short-term; Hermione doesn't care much about Quidditch, so wasn't in awe of Viktor's fame like most other girls, and Viktor being a few years older is probably closer to her intellectual level - someone she can talk to, once she gets past the heavy Bulgarian accent and difficulty pronouncing her name ;) Long term? Too soon to tell, I think - need to see how Ron and Harry and the rest of the boys in her year grow up. (I've said before I used to be a lot like Hermione; as my grade schools lacked suitable boys :( I concentrated on my studies through HS and didn't date at all until uni, and I wouldn't be surprised in Hermione's love life got similarly delayed.)

I don't want to think about Crabbe and Goyle :eek:, amrael. Remus and Sirius are a much cuter couple, after all :) (with the added bonus that unlike any other character so far, Sirius could be cute with Remus all month) though now that you mention it, I'm going to be wondering whether Crabbe and Goyle fight over Millicent Bulstrode in the Slytherin Common Room or whether they've realized how suited for each other they are... :barf: Thanks, amrael (:

[amrael]

Sorry. It is a bit nasty, I know. ;)


Sirius and Remus are a cute couple, but I still keep Remus/Severus as most desired match of the series. Just think about all the possibilities and swoonsome arguments, angsty moments and reconciliations and stuff. :swoon:

[Elfëa]

Yes, but I must say that it's been implied that there'll be romance in this book...

well, of course it could be Snape and Narcissa and Lucius would have to kill them for that and Draco would see that and turn away from his father and...

That would make awfully good fanfic, wouldn't it? :p

(I've said before I used to be a lot like Hermione; as my grade schools lacked suitable boys I concentrated on my studies through HS and didn't date at all until uni, and I wouldn't be surprised in Hermione's love life got similarly delayed.)

I'm at uni and still no date seen anywhere near... and I'm not even as devoted as Herm...

Espesh by JKR herself :)

In many interviews she's hinted of romance between Ron and Hermione, she hasn't said anything, but in her enigmatic way, she's like "Look for clues in the books." and "Well what do you think?"

It's really quite obvious, they're reaching the age of consent (god so am I... :eek: :eek: ) they need to have relationships!

[Elfëa]

But that behavior actually makes me think there won't be... :p Because it's obvious :p So, to surprise us, there will be....

waits for the drum roll that never comes...

:mad:

okay... romance between Harry and Ron... and Hermione will run of Crabbe :p ;)

[Kristin]

It's not going to be a nice, tidy little pairing. Ron and Hermione (which I think we all agree is going to happen) aren't just going to admit they like each other and start dating. They do like each other, but they have to struggle with those feelings. And I'm certain there is going to be some blushing, stammering and general embarrassment. :o :D

[Elfëa]

Yeps... and if there were a Yule Ball this year too...

Now that would be.. erm... difficult :p

But still, they're too obvious, SO I don't actually think they really get together in this book... :p Perhaps they end up dating someone else because they don't believe they can get each other... ;)

[Ravenclaw]

I just realized it's cold in here... but that's horribly off topic.

I think.... hm, now, well, I think... Oh yes. I stand by my thoughts that Draco and one of the Gryffindor Girls will not happen-- Unless it's someone OTHER than Hermione or Ginny.

(I just wanted to state that again.)

I also doubt that Harry and Hermione will happen... I'm being realistic here. I mean, if Hermione was crushing on him, he probably wouldn't even notice because he'd be too busy fighting off an evil animagus squirrel that happens to be Wormtail's long lost girlfriend called Cottontail.

This is just an opinion. Now, all you Draco/Herm Draco/Ginny and Harry/Herm shippers go write a fan fic where one of the afore mentioned couples go walking on a beach together at sunset.

But I do agree with Kristen. I imagine that the Ron/Hermione romance that I DO see coming will not come easily. It won't just be like "I gotta thing, you maybe got a thing, maybe we could have a thing" kinda thing. Ron will be stubborn and Hermione will get frustrated. There will be fighting, of course, that's a given.

I would just love to see one of those love/hate things go on between Ron and Hermione. I think that would be really fun to read.

walks of the the sunset on her fanfiction beach... only those who've read my ffiction understand... if there is a thing to understand

Okay. :p But I ship them only in FANFICTION :p And that's all to be blamed on Draco Trilogy... ;)

Agree. And even if there is not going to be a romance, there will be love and hate going between those two :)
They're just too polar... :D

[Fleurdelacour]

yes, a love + hate relationship would be fantastic, they sorta have one already, but it'd be adorable...


Ron sat down on the red sofa after screaming at Hermione. It had been ther first proper arument, and he was feeling rather guilty, he knew he was in the wrong.

"Hermione, I--I'm sorry." Ron said, turning away from his heart's desire.

"Sorry? My my Ron, I don't think you've ever apologised before, apart from that argument with Harry last year, but we'll forget that." Hermione said, quite shocked at Ron's apology.

"Yeah, I'm a bloody stubborn twit most of the time, and I don't bloody mean it either... I knew the newt hairs should have been added to the Armadillo Pie and Pig Snot stew... Once I relised, it was hard to back down. I dont want to hurt you."

"Well you did!" Hermione giggled, looking at Ron's absymal face, "Lookie here." Hermione stroked Ron's cheek, and pulled him closer, "You're gonna be bad for schoolwork, I can tell."

Ron, quite suprised with the whole thing, kissed Hermione softly on the lips. It was like fireworks, Ron had only kissed one girl before, and that was Eloise, secretly, for a dare when Harry was in the hospital wing after one of his adventures. But it was with Hermione, that girl he argued with all the time, and it was magic, not the sort of magic that glitters from a wand, but the sort that comes out of romances and Muggle films...

Just then, whilst Ron and Hermione were indulging in their passions for one another, the portrait door opened. Harry had come back from his detention with Snape.

"Merlin's dirty old beard!" Harry screamed, and shut his eyes, hoping to block out the scene he had just witness. He left them arguing over Newt hairs!

Yes, crap, it's 22.35 ;)

[Elfëa]

:LOL:

An argument over newt's hairs??? :LOL:

Is someone counting the days????

[Fleurdelacour]

I think it's 147 days now... Idunno! Lost count! :o :eek: ;)

I started to write a fan fiction, a love hate (thank you for the inspiration) in Chemistry today :)

[Elfëa]

LOL

that's what chemistry is for :p sighs and remembers her chemistry classes, which she actually enjoyed... :o I was Hermione there :o Got 10 tho :p (and that's the best possible

Hmm, what do you think about Cho and Harry? Can't remember have we discussed this issue already... :o

I don't think there'll ever be Cho and Harry - she's older for starters, and secondly, I think the "incidence" with Cedric and his death will change Harry's character greatly...

[Nandor Nymph]

I want to know if the teachers have partners. Such as was Dumbledore, McMcGonagall and well more importanly Snape (I'm with you Colli...more Snape!!!). Did they ever get married?
Snape/Remus...actually that would be mighty interesting and really cool!
Have made this up myself or has there been speculation that it's possible that Snape may have had a thing for Lily before (hence more bitterness towards the Potters).

I don't think we'll be seeing Hermione and Ron being a definite couple in this book. I think she'll be into Viktor. Well, I do hope so, I always like Krum so much. But anyway there'll be much tention between Hermione and Ron because I do believe they are meant to be (my eru that sounds lame).
Hmmm....actually maybe there will added conflict if Hermione also believes that she and Harry are meant to be together, althugh ultimately it should be Ron and Hermione.

Draco? I've gotten the impression that he's really more afraid of his father rather than proud. Who knows who he'll pair up with. If anybody.

[lizz]

I dont see Hermione and Victor. I think she likes him but isnt in love with him or has a crush on him. But that could change over the summer of course. :p We still dont know if she will visit him. somehow I dont think she will but who knows?

[Elfëa]

I think Hermione will probably visit Krum during summer - even if she hadn't huge chrush on him. I mean, She seems to be travelling every summer, so why not?

Draco may fear his father, but that doesn't mean he isn't proud of him. No, I actually think that Draco would search his father's acceptance and attention by any means possible. :)

[Fleurdelacour]

Ok, call me obsessed, but I would love Hermione to get pregnant;) :p With Krum's baby!

Imagine studious Hermione, brainy, fair and sweet, visits a Bulgarian friend in Bulgaria, he drugs her or something... ok, been watching TOO much soaps! ;)

Anyway, seriously...

I could imagine Krum getting very green-eyed if Ron and Hermione were ever to become an item! He would come down from Bulgaria on his broomstick, beseeting sweet (well not sweet in my eyes ;) ) revenge on Ron! Whilst trying to seduct Hermione!

I made a list of things I do and dont want to see on the bus today :)


I don't want to see the Dursley's being nasty to Harry again. It's old and repetitive, it'd be really scary and shocking to see them being nice to Harry, but judging by the first pragraph, it won't happen...
I don't want to see Ron and Hermione arguing all the time, I want it to tone down, turn to flirting or something, subtle flirting, small little compliments, things like that :) Oh gOd,I am such a bloody sucker for romance!
I'd like to see less Gryffindor and Slytherin rivalry, oh it's so boring now, Gryffindor aren't the best house in the school, just because the're brave, Slytherin aren't the est house because they want power, and they're cunning, same with Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, but I'd like to see more of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw, see how these houses really deal with things. Gryffindors keep their head's high and fight on in bad times, Slytherins plot and scheme ;) but what to the Huffs and Ravens do?!
Did I say cute Ron and Hermione moments ;)
Oh and finally, no Harry getting away with everything! :rolleyes: It's actually getting on my nerves! You cant blame Snape for getting mad with this fame stuff! Favouritism I tells ya! ;) Unless there's a hidden meaning, like Dumbledore intends Harry (maybe Harry's the only one) who can sort out this mess of good and evil, good and power, power and evil... I don't know...

[Colli]

Pansy Parkinson, of course. :) He did go to the Yule Ball with her, after all. (didn't he?)

I doubt McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore have spouses... seeing as they always stay at Hogwarts over vacations. You'd think if they had someone at home they'd go see them once in a while. ;)

[Elfëa]

Do they even live in the castle? The teacher's who have spouses? They could live in Hogsmeade...

I'm eagerly waiting to know more about the teachers..

I don't think Draco will be involved in a romance - but he might have a girlfriend...

[Seriphus]

I doubt McGonagall, Snape, and Dumbledore have spouses... seeing as they always stay at Hogwarts over vacations. You'd think if they had someone at home they'd go see them once in a while. I wondered a few years ago whether Dumbledore had married a Muggle. I think it's Lucious who has a swipe at him for being a 'Muggle-lover'. Plus as Dumbledore's 150 he would have outlived his wife unless she was a lot younger than him.

[alqua]

I'm all for Ron/Hermione and Harry/Ginny to happen. But if there ever will be a Harry/Ginny pairing, I think it might come a bit later than book 5.

[Pengi]

I'm not desperately hoping for any romance, but it would be nice for Harry if he and Cho could get together. I know it probably won't happen, because of the whole Cedric thing though :(

Ooh, hang on, I would like Sirius/Remus! :D Not that that's likely to happen either *grumbles*

[Elfëa]

I don't like the idea of pairing Harry with Cho. I just don't :p (that's what bad fanfiction does to you ;))

However, is Harry daring enough to risk someone else's life? I mean, by giving part of himself to someone he will make himself (and the person in question) much more vulnerable.

[amrael]

However, is Harry daring enough to risk someone else's life? I mean, by giving part of himself to someone he will make himself (and the person in question) much more vulnerable.

As if. Do you think Harry is going to stop prowling around under the invisibility cloak? That if he hears something weird he is going to sensibly go and tell Dumbledore about it instead of following? As a matter of fact Hermione, her muggle parents, the whole Weasley lot, Sirius, Lupin and all Hogwarts Staff are directly in the line of fire. One more wouldn't be that much to worry about.

[Elfëa]

You're right...


I meant to add "or will he learn the harder way..."

edit:

I just noticed that I haven't voted on this poll.

However, I should, don't you think? :p

But alas, there is no Draco/Harry choice... :(

[amrael]

Well, I haven't either.

No Snape/Lupin :(


The most unlikely pairing that I would love to see well done... Snape/Black. I can't pair Snape with any woman as there are none of remotely the right age. Maybe the new DADA teacher? Un less it is Ms Figg of course. :eek:

[Elfëa]

Actually, I can't think of Snape in any kind of relationship...


He's just too bitter, too tecthy(sp?) and so on... :trout: (me doesn't likes snapess)

[alqua]

I can see Snape in a relationship...with me :D

[Elfëa]

Well, I'm afraid you're not going to be in OotP :p

Hmm... and if you can see Snape in relationship with you I don't think I dare to meet you!! :eek:

Think how horrid Snape would be if he were a woman!!! :eek:

And I'm starting to feel I don't want Hr/R ship to sail. Nor HMS Pumpkin Pie either... I want........

ash, you know it all, don't you? ;)

[Katya]

I think Hermione and Ron will get together! Definitely! :D I hopeing to see that in the OotP..

[alqua]

if you can see Snape in relationship with you I don't think I dare to meet you!!

:D Don't worry, I'm not altogether evil (or deranged ;) )

I agree, Elfëa! (Sorry, Snape-lovers. :() :trout: me all you like...it's the truth....

[Elfëa]

Katya - I'm in the opinion that opposites attract. We just forgot that they fight to death :p

[Lord Schaudt]

Hermione and Ginny


just kidding

Ron&Hermione

[Elfëa]

Hermione and Ginny

Why not?

Can you find evidence against from the books? ;) :p

[Katya]

Elfea- Yep..it really is a shame that Hermione and Ron all always fighting! But I'm trying to close that fact out of my mind. They will get together, I'm sure of it! :D

[alqua]

Maybe they'll stop fighting once they grow up. :D

[Katya]

Originally posted by alqua

I hope they do! :D But I wonder what Harry would think about it? If his two best friends got together..

[Ravenclaw]

Wouldn't it be great if it was one of those scream-all-you-want scenarios.

Ron rubbed his eyes, and his head, which he realized was covered in dried blood. He was slowly waking up from when he was knocked out trying to protect Hermione.
"Argh..." he said, grogily. "Where are we?"
"The basement of an abandoned building in the middle of nowhere with Voldemort. He wants a potion that only I can make, it seems." Hermione sighed, and Ron noticed for the first time he wasn't alond.
"Basically a 'scream all you want' scenario?" Hermione nodded. Ron sighed too. "All I remember was a fight with a Death Eater... I did good, didn't I?" Hermione laughed, and rolled her eyes.
"Smashing, Ron. You showed him," she said with a smile. Ron smiled at her weakly.
"Thank you for boosting my already low ego. So, what's going to happen?"
Hermione thought for a moment. "Well, either I make the potion, and he kills us, or I don't make the potion and he kills us."
"Is there a third option, cause I'm not liking our odds," said Ron.
"Well, he could get so busy that he forgets about us and then we basically starve to death. That's kind of the best option."
Ron shifted so he was leaning against the wall. He pushed a strand of stray hair behind Hermione's ear.
"So, not very good chances then?" he said, leaning closer. She began to slowly shake her head, and then shook it harder.
"No, we can't," she said, pushing away from him. He nodded.
"Right. We can't. In any circumstance that isn't a death for every option..." Slowly, he moved closer and she smiled.
And they kissed for the first time. A wish they have wanted for an eternity, but were too afraid to ask, had been granted.

Aww.... OK, Fleur sparked me off there with her little piece, I can do my own thing! (PS: Sorry for the using the Buffy scenario, but it was just so cute)

[Elfëa]

Indeed - how would he react. It's obvios if they get together, they won't spend that much time with Harry as they have done... Now Harry would be the one left alone... (as in the cases when either Herm or Ron has been angry...)

[Colli]

Snape in a relationship? :swoon: It could happen..



Think how horrid Snape would be if he were a woman!!! :eek:
:rotfl: The boggart scene in PoA comes to mind..

[Lord Schaudt]

Elfea (and i may get banned for mentioning this) about a year ago their was a piece of Fan Fic exploring the Ginny Hermione kind of relastionhsip


Never mind that

i have evidence for it, thier both girls, and get along well together but Hermione tends to be doting and her and ginny could very well devleop and older sister and younger sister relastiohship (with harry being told what and how to behave by both of them)

[Seriphus]

Think how horrid Snape would be if he were a woman!!! Has anyone ever read The Worst Witch books? That's where you'll find the female version of Snape. :)

I'd love to see Snape in a relationship. He'd be so funny being all sappy with his other half and then trying to keep up his mean exterior. :swoon: OK so I can't see Snape being sappy, but he'd be nice anyways. :rolleyes:

[Elfëa]

Elfea (and i may get banned for mentioning this) about a year ago their was a piece of Fan Fic exploring the Ginny Hermione kind of relastionhsip

:eek: I didn't know that mentioning m/m or f/f is not PG??? :confused:

:o Cause I've been going on loads about slash :o

And admit proudly ;) that I'm writing.... [drumroll] Ginny/Herm piece at the moment. Well, not currently, I'll finish it after I've got over that kiss scene in my Draco/Harry... :o

I sail no ships ;) - I can pair anyone with anyone.

As long as it's not teacher/underage-student ship...

Not everything is in the canon, but that's what the fanon is about - "what if"s :)

Yeah, and Satan will ice-skate to work :p

[Amberion]

Actually I believe that a G rating would prevent mentioning it but PG you can mention but absolutely no details allowed

[Elfëa]

seriosly?

I mean, :rolleyes:

:mad: homophobic - whoever has made that rating. I mean (this could turn to the discussion that's going on Hufflepuff house right now) no wonder people grow homophobic - anti things if same sex relationships are considered to be unnatural.

:rolleyes:

I'm really bad with ratings anyway.
Cause I never followed them when I was younger :o (14 and reading NC-17! :eek: )

But I'm nice girl, seriosly.

And this was totally OT... :o Sorry.

Are you a musical theater person? Ha, just saw RENT for the second time the other night (Fabulous, as per usual) and I recomend it for you. It's a story about "Living with, living with... Not dying from disease" in New York City at the end of the millenium. Very true to real life, if I do say so myself. Includes a drag queen (I can mention that, can't I? :confused: ) and m/m and a f/f couple, as well as Roger and Mimi (a straight couple). Four of the eight lead characters have AIDS. One of them married into money and is now holding it over the others (argh... Benny...)

But that was even more off topic than yours and probably over PG rated-- I did NOT go into detail! ARGH! I hate ratings. They suck. People are gonna learn about this stuff one way or another. *Sigh* oh well, i guess it's for the good of our children.

But if this is inappropriate, say so and I will change it.

ANYWAYS, back ON TOPIC!

I don't write slash fan fics meself, but I do read them occasionally, if they're good enough, I mean, and not just icky stuff... Same for m/f relationships too, come to think of it.

Actually, all in all, I'm not a romancy person (gasp!). The only couple I'm interested in is Ron/Hermione. Anyone else can do whatever the heck they wanna.

[Elfëa]

And you're my complete opposite on that Rav - the couple I'm least interested in is Herm/Ron.

And I think that any inside trio pairings will break the trio... if not permanently, but they will create conflict.

And on OT - I'm not musical theater person :p Only musical I remember seeing is Fame... :p (I must have seen some when I was younger, but can't remember them...)

And I still can't belive that G-rating won't allow mention same sex relationships :mad:
I hate ratings anyway - cause when I have to rate my writing I have no idea. And cause we're generally using G, PG, R and NC-17 rating... well, I seriously have no clue with them - I come from country with age rating - like "not for children under 8 years old or 6 years old in the company of an adult."
LotR was almost made to be not for under 15/13 with adult... :eek: but public made it to be 11/9 with adult. I think. Can't remember. Have no kids. :p

Horrid OT rambling again. Sorry :o

[Fleurdelacour]

I'm with you Elfea and the whole ratings issue.:rolleyes: :mad:

What I can't understand, is WHY the Pony and everywhere else is PG, and whilst here, is G. I mean what's the difference?

For the last three years I've been one of the youngest members of the MI, no one apart from the usual crowd comes down to visit us ;)

You weren't here Elfea, but a while back there was a huge terrible bust up involving discussing slash in this section, I'm not naming anyone, but the mod at the time refused to let us talk about slash pairings. Laura got banned permantly, I got banned for 24 hours. It got nasty. :(

Back on subject.

If Ron and Hermione got together, they'd have to keep it secret. Harry is going to go a bit barmy with all this Voldie stuff.

Christ, if Ron and Hermione get together, I can tell you this for sure. I will cry my eyes out in happiness. Even if I'm reading it on the bus (I cried when reading Merry and Pippin's ordeal with the Orcs, on the bus!)

Oh, I am so excited for this book! SO EXCITED!! :D :D

[Elfëa]

Harry&Hermione -

Ron will kill someone in envy and rage of being left out. And if Harry& Herm ever broke up and Ron would get a chance with Herm she'd become a Hand-Me-Down...
Herm & Harry would have to keep it secret because Ron would go bollocks.

Ron&Hermione

I think Harry could take this, but it would leave him lonely. And it would also leave him without support. Hermione and Ron would have to keep it in secret, because they want to protect Harry. This would also create a crack in the trio supporting Harry - Ron would give everything for Herm, not Harry and Herm would give everything for Ron, not Harry.
And not to mention Hermione is older by her behavior than the boys are - teenager girls have this tendecy to grow faster than boys ;) ever wondered why blokes go for girls younger than them? ;)

Ron&Harry

Even if I don't belive this will Happen, (well, I don't belive in R/H either), it's the relationship which would create the less conflict. Hermione could take it - yes, of course the relationship would cause some stirring, but not in the power relationships or in friendship. Harry has hold Ron's friendship higher than Hermione's, partly because Ron too is a bloke and easier to relate to.
And then Hermione can run off with Malfoy. :D Or Ginny.

[ChianaWeasley]

All of these parings are fine with me, but after reading the four books over and over and over again. I'm just ITCHING to see Ron and Hermione get together :kiss: . Like I've said in other posts 'its wonderful to read about them fighting even though you just...KNOW" They are falling for each other, or at least I think so. Opposites attract, like they always say.

I do howwever, thinks its unfair for readers that they hinted towards a blooming relationship in CoS the movie at the end. That is at LEAST two movies away, that made me frustrated because for all we know there are curves Rowling has waiting for us. Thats false advertising ;)

Anyhow, I'll probably burst into tears as well if they do get together. It doesn't have to happen in OoTP, but it would be nice... :D

And to end my ranting, I think that Ginny and Neville still have a chance for falling for each other. How can you not love that clumsy guy?!

[Elfëa]

LOL - Neville and Ginny.

Hmm... need to read the books again - just so I can prove to you that Harry and Draco have chrushes over each other... ;)

[Fleurdelacour]

Elfea, slash obsessed, I think not ;) :p

I'm dying to read a good Harry and Draco one!


Oh god, I am itching for r/h too Chiana! Oh my god! I am bloody ITCHING FOR THIS BOOK! RAH RAH RAH!

Something faboulous to loof forawrd too after my exams!

I'm gonna re-read all the books in Disneyland... Only time off from revising over the next few months... :rolleyes:

Imagine Ron and Hermione keeping their love a secret! wow! I think I'd float all the way down to the park.... :D

Hey, a girl may have her fun :p Even if I would like to know why? I'm slash!obsessed.... ;)

Hah. I've read about dozen good H/D ones :D Haven't read a good Hr/Ron one! :eek:

H/D is probably the most common fanfic pairing. After Pumpkin pie (H/H) and Hr/Ron... :p But I still haven't read a good Hermione & Ron story. Unless it involves H/D... ;) :o

Btw, in PoA Draco says: Are you sure you can handle that broomstick, Potter?

It's as much reading in the text as in case of Hr/Ron :p

[ChianaWeasley]

I've read plenty good Ron/Hermione fan fictions, you just have to know where to look. I mainly go to www.fictionalley.org. They also have excellant Harry/Hermione ones:swoon:. R/H are tricky to find, there are mostly Harry/Hermione that I see. But for me a good fan fic of R/H always puts me in a good mood.:D
Im not saying theres anything wrong with slash fan fics it's just I addicted to Ron/Hermione ones.

I cannot WAIT for the next book!!! if I'm still in school by then (with all these snowdays) I wont be getting much work done. ;)
:rotfl: But can you really blame a girl?

[Elfëa]

Chiana - yeah, I read Fictionalley - but usually only stuff that authors I've read and consider good have linked. :)

(Name me one - just out of interest - if I ever have the time to read :o)

I still don't believe in Hr/Ron because they have nothing in common. Why would Hermione go for someone who's nowhere near as intelligent and grown up as she is?
But I can bet that Ron will have a thing for Herm - he already has. :p

You said you'd read mine! :(

Draco said that did he? :D

I have to admit, I am a H/D shipper :D

[Elfëa]

FleurD - I haven't read it yet :o

I'm not in the mood to read anything - I should be writing myself :rolleyes:

Can't remember- I just remember someone quoting that passage on a mailing list yesterday :p

[ChianaWeasley]

Elfea you'll probably beat over the head with your wand when I say this but, sadly I cant remember the names of the ones I've read. But I can describe them, its just when I go back to read them I cant find them again. Im not making excuses I just cant remember the names!!! :confused:

And i must confess i havent been on fictionalley in ages :o

And I really think hermione and ron can get together, the only thing I have to support my theories is that opposites attract. :LOL: Im not a very good debater :D
