I don't think I have ever in my life been referred to as "honorable" before!

Just think of it as payback, my dear.  ;)

Gosh, thanks.  You're welcome to visit anytime...as long as you're nice to 
Ron.  Denigration of Weasleys of any kind will not be tolerated on the Good 
Ship R/H.  Violators of this rule shall be forced to walk the plank.

I see that my trusty First Mate has already welcomed you aboard (very 
efficient, that one! <g>)  I trust your stateroom is to your liking?

May I offer you the position of Marketing Director aboard the Good Ship R/H?

Never, we can apparate to your location and pick you up anywhere!  Glad to 
have you aboard Zsenya!  I'd been wondering where you were!  And what job 
shall we give you?

That's okay!  Every time the shipper thread comes around there's some 
repetition on both sides, but then your brilliant thoughts will start flowing!
 I've been thinking that part of the reason H/Hers perceive R/Hers as being so 
defensive is that we tend to leave the burden of proof up to them.  (Because, 
as we know R/H just makes more sense! <g>)

Oh, yeah, *definitely* our new Marketing Director! :)

You know, I think things like this are what bother me most about the H/H 
position.  I know that H/Hers admit that Harry hasn't shown any interest in 
Hermione yet, and supposedly would in the future, but it seems to me that not 
only has he not shown any interest, he has been quite the opposite of 
interested in pretty much anything Hermione talks about or does.  At least Ron 
argues with her, so he's showing some interest.  And *Ron* was the one who 
noticed Hermione's weird schedule and the time turner slipups in PoA.  It was 
always Ron pointing them out or noticing Hermione's feelings (example:  I was 
just listening to the Hermione-walking-out-of-Divination scene today, and 
after she leaves it's *Ron* who says "Some day Hermione's having" while 
Harry's being distracted.  Granted, Harry has reason to be distracted, but 
*still*.) I just don't see the evidence for a future H/H relationship.


Trina again:
>Oh, my gracious. I think I've just outed myself as an R/H shipper!

*lurks hurt* You say that like it's bad thing.  Seriously, Trina, climb right 
aboard the Good Ship R/H.  We have an excellent midnight buffet. :)

Oh, look at all the R/Hers!  This is so cool!  I'm dancing around on deck in 
glee...
