SHIP Harry & Ginny?

[Jim Ferer]

No: HPFGUIDX 15390

I'm afraid the captain of  our little (tiny, teensy, puny) ship is 
rather the quiet type.  Either that, or he's disappeared completely.  
::climbing up on the rigging and scanning the sadly sparse deck for 
signs of Cap'n Jim, then raising my eyes to the horizon in case he's 
fallen overboard somewhere along the way::  I haven't seen him around 
in awhile.   Anyway, welcome aboard, and don't worry about the 
complete lack of evidence for our ship.  We live on hope here!
 
kimberly, quite possibly the lone crewmember of the H/G

Jim is on deck of the good ship H/G. A crowd of D/G'ers had imprisoned 
him in the hold, but he has escaped.

Why would anyone like the idea of Harry and Ginny? Well, there's the 
One Big Happy Weasley Family idea, which a lot of our brothers and 
sisters here find too saccharine for words (Walton Mountain with 
spells). I don't agree with them. A family like the Weasleys would be 
a blessing to a Harry beaten up emotionally and likely physically by 
his experiences fighting the Death Eaters and Voldemort. 

I'm not so anti-H/H as I am pro H/G. I know there's very little 
support in canon for H/G. OTOH, there isn't much support for H/H 
either, aside from their closeness and proximity.

It all depends on what kind of woman you think is right for Harry. 
Hermione wants an intellectually and emotionally strong partner, 
somebody who will both stimulate and challenge her. She's maturing 
beautifully, and she'll improve, but she's been insensitive before 
with people's emotions (Parvati's rabbit, for instance). She'll work 
hard to keep Harry's head straight and in the world; she's not going 
to let him mope with his memories of death and terror. You could argue 
that's what Harry needs. I like Hermione a lot.

Ginny is Molly Weasley's daughter, and she comes from a close-knit 
loving family. She's not going to be a wimp -- Molly sure isn't -- and 
nobody's doormat, but she will love Harry with the kind of devotion 
and passion that the quiet girls develop. (Note to younger male 
members of this group: remember that.) She will always be there for 
him, a healing balm, a safe harbor; and Harry will be good for her 
because he won't take her for granted.

I come down on the side of Ginny, and, I admit it. OBHWF. So, all of 
us downtrodden H/G'ers will repeat our daily affirmation:

"Say it loud, we're corny and we're proud. We like Her-my-oh-ninny, 
but we're going to root for Ginny!"Always good to hear someone else 
likes H/G!
