   I guess I must start by stating that I am a determined R/H and H/G 
shipper. Just so you know what your deeling with!:-)

   One thing that I must point out as far as shipping is concerned is 
that I simply cannot see that the Potter series will turn into a 
desperate and passion-filled love drama. That just isn't that main 
point of the books! There about something else: Voldemort and the 
battle against him. Of course, I definitely do believe there will be 
more romance in the books to come and I can't wait for it!;-) After 
all we do have J.K.Rowlings word for it.  And what's more I love 
discushing SHIPS and trying to guess how everything will turn out, 
even (or especially) with people who don't agree with me. But that's 
a far cry from filling them with complicated love triangles and 
whatnot.

     That's one of the main literary arguement I have against H/H. It 
would lead the books to a whole different place, one where I don't 
think I'd like to see them go. And there doesn't seem to be any 
escaping this as far as I can see if H/H were to happen. Even if Ron 
does eventually get over H. that can't happen in the very near 
future. I'd think it very bad form for Harry to go after the girl his 
friend had a crush on just a while ago. And if Ron dies (please,no!!!)
that just makes it even worse IMO. In that event I don't think I 
could forgive Harry or Hermione for getting together even 20 years 
later but whatever's going to happen has to happen by the end of book 
7. That's not a lot of time really.

     Of course, maybe I'm being too harse. In real life I'd see 
things differently I'm sure. But this is a book.
  
   Charis Julia.
