*blinks innocently* What, so Ron and Hermione's constant bickering at 
each other is Sexual Tension, but Hermione whacking Malfoy about the 
face isn't? <vbg> There are endless Very Long Posts over on hpslash 
and the Draco egroup (yes, he has his own egroup) about Why We Like 
Malfoy, and How Draco Is Redeemable In Canon, many very eloquent. 
Perhaps I ought to ask permission to post one over here, since I'm 
far too lazy to write one myself.

The Ginny/Draco pairing is most definitely Fanon Draco and Fanon 
Ginny, Fanon Draco being not-so-evil and Fanon Ginny being (as 
typified by Lori) a strong, funny, in-charge sort of girl, very 
different from her rather ... I won't say it ... canon self. Canon 
Draco and Canon Ginny would surely be a disaster, as Draco would say 
nasty things to her and she would cry; it would be a sad, damp, 
uninteresting sort of affair.
