hey everyone, I've been lurking for a long time but now that I'm home
from school it's time to join the fun!
I've been thinking the past couple days about the singing valentine
that Harry recieved in Chamber of Secrets and was going to write
about that and then today I started reading the thread about
something little playing a huge role and I thought that maybe this
would be it.
"Eyes as green as a fresh-pickled toad,
Hair as dark as a black board,
I wish he were mine, he's really divine,
The hero who conquered the dark lord"
(sorry, might not be exact, don't have my book with me)
Does that really sound like something that Ginny Weasley would
write? I don't think it does. At that point in the story Ginny is
the only one we've seen that's showed any form of a romantic interest
in Harry, that coupled with Ginny's aparant embarassment naturally
leads us to assume that the valentine comes from her, I think that's
what JKR wanted us to assume. I don't think that this is what really
happend though. For one thing, the embarassment can be easily
explained after finishing the book by the fact that she saw Harry
with Riddle's diary, the very one that she'd been pouring her heart
out to all year, she's worried that it divulged her secrets to
Harry.
So the question is, who did send that valentine? I have a theory.
What if it was Luna? 'fresh-pickled toads'? come on, who else is so
quirky that they would consider this to be appropriate for a love
poem? Luna would've been a first year at the time, she most
likely would've known who Harry is. I've been re-reading the books,
just finished COS which is why I was thinking about it to begin
with. Once I get to book five I'm going to watch Luna's initial
reactions to suddenly being around Harry to see if there's any
evidence of a past, possibly current, crush on him.
How does this relate to something huge? Luna/Harry SHIP of course!
I'm not entirely sure that I personally support such a happening, but
I wont deny that it's a possiblity and could be truly entertaining.
Sorry if it got a bit long!
Janelle
