If there is a U-Boat NoShip, I am most truly on it! <grin> At the risk
of ostrasizing myself, I'm noship in both canon and fanfic. <ducks as
list members start throwing books> Part of my reason is purely selfish;
romance is done so tritely nowadays that I can't stand to deal with
another cliche. Honestly, when Harry feels the first "flutterings" of
liking towards Cho in PoA, I very nearly threw the book across the
room. Here was this wonderful series and JKR was going to relent to
temptation and put young love in it! I don't care how realistic it is,
I don't want any part of it.

The other part of my noship reason is what Ebony said. I think it would
be detrimental to the trio's friendship. I've seen the effects of
so-called love. It does distance friends, to an extent. If Harry,
Hermione, or Ron were to pair up with someone/each other, it would
weaken their friendship bond. But I'm sure many will disagree with me.
