I agree! And I think that one of the main reasons I moved away from > half-hearted H/H shipperdom into full-fledged R/H shipperdom is that fact that > many (not all) H/H shippers sell Ron short, IMHO. MOst H/H fics tend to set > up H and H as this perfect couple and then kind of throw Ron in as comic > relief, if they show him at all. I think Ron as a character has much more > depth than most people give him credit for, and quite honestly I am starting > to find Harry kinda boring. (Is that blasphemy?) > > > Kathy > AKA Elanor Gamgee > Well not this H/H shipper! I LOVE RON! I simply don't feel that a R/H is right especially over an H/H. I know that it is quite likely that Ron has feelings as seen from evidence in GoF(though there IS another way to explain all that as I've done before and will do again if the need arises). I don't think that even if Ron likes Hermione I don't think that there is enough evidence to say Hermione likes Ron back. Even if Ron and Hermione like eachother and start dating I don't think it would last. Yes they do have a firey relationship that has major spark possibilities but i think that all that fighting could lead to a lot of heart aches and an eventual big break up that could have terrible effects on the entire trio's friendship. If Harry developes feelings for Hermione and she likes him back (which i think is a lot more plausable which i have several supporting facts for on a list I've been creating starting a long time ago but never got around to finishing) that they would take it clow, easing into a relationship beyond friendship being mindful to not ignore Ron. They have the bases for happily-ever-after which I don't see in the R/H world. As to thinking that the entire trio would marry other people, well, I can see both Ron and Harry marring other people but not Hermione. She spends all her time (away from studing) with the two boys and doesn't show any interest in boys unlike other girls in her year. Hermione is ecactly like me, we even have similiar looks. I put alot of myself into my studies, I luv to read, and I'm a bite of a looner. Some of the best friends I've had are boys and I'm not interested in any deep relationship currently and unless something developes from a friendship i don't see myself getting married and having kids. I know Hermy and me aren't completely alike but i can relate to her currently especially b/c i'm not much older then her. If i were in her shoes Harry would be the one for me not b/c he's famouse but b/c i see a better friendship with him. ~Star~ --------------------------------------------------- Get your free web based email from Crosswalk.com: http://mail.crosswalk.com
