well I don't know about HP/DM, but We vote for R/H because it makes more sense, and I personally think Harry and Hermione would be a VERY boring couple. and that picture's got to be doctored. for the fact that Harry has both the hairstyle and clothes he had in POA. though it could also be when Harry walked out of the common room and came face to face with hermione like in the fourth book. well, that's one part I remember in the book, at least. so it's really nothing for us R/H fans to worry about.

Where did you get THOSE bogus rules from?
It's common sense. Don't call them bogus, because it's true - successful relationships depend on those.
It's useful if you compare each rule to what Harry has done over Ron.

please. first off there were plenty of successful relationships that were a bit like Ron and Hermione's. second, If it wasn't for Ron and Hermione, Harry Potter would be a little boring. If Harry and Hermione got together, there might always be a mentioning of Hermione here and there in his thoughts way too much, and the incessant thoughts of her would drive me insane! And it just might turn the book into a love story, and I'd rather not have that happen and have the whole book surround Harry and Hermione's relationship. plus, there would be no mystery to how their relationship is going. now if Ron and Hermione got together, it would be more interesting, because Harry would have no clue what the two are thinking which would make it very interesting, because it would be more of a mystery. I mean, they could secretly start dating, and Harry wouldn't know about it for a while, which would leave us to ponder about it during that period, and J.K. Rowling seems to love to make us ponder. And if Ron and Hermione get together it wouldn't turn too much into a love story, but it would put some love interest into the story to make it more interesting. putting Harry and Hermione together would only take all the mystery out of it, and mystery makes things exciting. without the mystery, it's boring.
Didn't you stop to consider that it would also be interesting if Harry and Hermione were in a relationship? Don't underestimate Rowling's ability to write; she's clever, and will find out ways to make H/Hr more interesting. She likes a good challenge too, besides making readers wonder - I'm sure she could do both. Obviously if Harry gets with Hermione, she isn't going to exactly be open about it and turn it into a romance novel, nor if Ron gets with Hermione. Give the author some credit.
Ron and Hermione secretly dating when Harry isn't aware isn't going to make readers ponder. Remember what I said: It's from Harry's point of view. If he isn't aware at all, there won't be anything to make readers wonder about.

It's faker than Anna Nicole Smith's breast size. Well done though.
Guys, what I think will happen is that Hermione dates Ron for a while (in the sixth book) but realises that she doesn't belong with him. So she goes with Harry, the upright, morally stable, down-to-earth hero. Yee-haw.

Emphasize the word "bit" and then it's true. Notice that it's a bit like Ron and Hermione's...not exactly like Ron and Hermione's. Sure, there are plenty like that, but they are pale in comparison to the many successful relationships that were like Harry and Hermione's.
And notice how I said "IF they get together...". Not current happenings in the book.
Nor have I seen("reading between the lines"😉 a lot of evidence either supporting that Hermione likes Ron better than Harry. Fundamentally, she appears to have a wee bit more affection for Harry than for Ron.
And again, I see another unsupported statement. Well done, Draco69.

Um, let me rephrase that, I've heard of relationships that are EXACTLY like Ron and Hermione's. And I've heard of friendships that are an awful lot like Harry and Hermione's, but those people aren't more than just friends. And did you ever stop to think that Harry and Hermione wouldn't seem right as a couple? they aren't quite the opposites of eachother. And haven't you ever heard of the term "when opposites attract"? because that's pretty much what's going on between Ron and Hermione. they're the complete opposites of each other, which is usually how real relationships go. and there are A LOT more clues of Ron and Hermione liking eachother than Harry and Hermione liking eachother. and lastly, It could easily happen the other way. Hermione might date Harry, then break up with him and go out with Ron instead. The hero doesn't always need to get the girl. It just doesn't work that way. and Hermione already worries too much about Harry. It would be worse if they got together. She'd always worry. And don't say Hermione worries because she loves Harry. She worries about him as a friend. there are plenty of friends who worry too much about eachother.
