Is the bit about playstation's a question or comment? If it is a question to
the group then it is worth reading message 714 and is replies.

chasing after her and never got her. I could also argue that JKR said that
they would end up with the wrong people in book 4. Harry ended up with
Pavarti in book 4 and not Cho. So this could also indicate that Harry/Cho is
still a possibility."

Penny replied: "Okay.  As long as I'm free to use the same basic logic and
say that Hermione is the "wrong" person for Ron since Ron fell for her in
Book 4 (even though he didn't know or acknowledge it).  <g>"

Continuing with my logic, IMHO, would mean that Padma or Fleur was the wrong
person for Ron. This is something we are always going to have arguments and
disagree on. Even if JKR settles the debate then some of us will still say
the pairings are wrong! That is part of the reason I go for some of the more
wacky options. <vbg>

Penny replied: "Wow!  :--)"

Lori has swayed many, but some of these still think it would require Ron
dying. I for one only support the partnership only if Ron is not a factor in
their lives anymore.

Neil wrote: "but I still favour the idea that they'll all three remain just
best friends and end up with other partners."

Penny replied: "At Hogwarts?  If so -- that might be preferable (not likely
given Ron's interest in Hermione but preferable perhaps).  Post-Hogwarts --
well, everyone knows my preference."

But it is still possible that, even after Ron has admitted his feeling for
Hermione (and maybe the reverse, or Hermione for Harry, etc...), that the
three just remain friends.
