HHR and CLOIS shipper
nightcrawler , I dont deny the fact that it can be H/g but I'm all for Hhr now and forever. I have my reasons on why I support them
(5) I like it. This is probably my most simple reason for supporting this pair but honestly, isn't most persons
ship preferences really about personal taste? What exactly appeals to you? The fact is many persons say that
Harry and Hermione is clichéd hero gets the girl; but that's where I disagree. Hermione is not the typical "girl"
in that cliché. She is not stunningly beautiful; she's not the super-popular, perfect girl. She's a bookworm and
in many ways a plain-Jane and that appeals to me. Why shouldn't she get the hero? Score one for bookworms
everywhere. I like that at the same time he has been HER hero. It's not everyday a guy jumps on 12-foot troll
for a girl. While he's been her hero she's never been a weakling and her strength is appealing in a female lead.
I am not close-minded to all other pairings. It's just that I read a scene like Hermione and Ron bickering over
who stunned who and it's mildly cute but that's it. Plus, they've been doing this since the first book and it has
really gotten rather tired. The fact is I like the idea that two people can get together without there being forced,
petty, non-sensical bickering added to them under the veil of some so-called "tension". I like the idea that we
can see two teenagers get together without the old girl likes boy-boy doesn't notice her-girl gets over boy-boy
realizes how truly amazing girl always was. I like the idea that we can see a popular source of entertainment
that shows two teens respecting, loving, supporting each other and that yes, they can fall in love. It is possible.
Finally persons always use to say how Harry gets everything and Ron deserves Hermione. I guess JK threw that
out by giving Ron Prefect and Quidditch Cup but I'm sure some will still see Ron as the poor, pathetic guy who
deserves to win the girl. Personally I hate that because it objectifies Hermione as some kind of consolation
prize, however I can argue that HARRY deserves Hermione. Many persons want to make Ron out to be some
poor guy and Harry as getting everything; but that really isn't the case. It astounds me when persons have this
view after reading the books and you take a scene like when Mrs.Weasley was reacting to Ron's being made
prefect. I'm sure in persons bid to believe poor Ron was finally being vindicated, no one stopped to think how
Harry might have felt in that moment. Now don't get me wrong, Mrs. Weasley had EVERY right to be proud of
her son but imagine Harry, orphan as he is, had to stand and watch Mrs Weasley fawn and be so proud of her
son; knowing he will never have that. Because the truth is no matter how much Mrs. Weasley loves Harry and
supports him and takes care of him, because she's naturally a mothering woman, essentially Sirius was right;
she's NOT his mother. She will never love him like Lily did and judging by how much people love Lily, she was
pretty ****ed amazing; but Harry'll never know that personally and I just shake my head at persons acting like
Harry gets everything. Right. That's why when it's all said and done, I think why shouldn't he have Hermione in
the end? Why shouldn't he be with the ONE person who has supported him, stood by him, loved him, defended
him, unwaveringly throughout?
Before I end I wanted to comment on persons attacks on Hermione's character for her disapproving of Harry
wanting to talk to Sirius. Need I remind persons who it was who convinced Harry to write to Sirius about his
name coming out of the Goblet? Hermione. Who was it again who helped Harry make sure the Common Room
was empty so he could speak to Sirius? Hermione; and while Harry outrightly didnot like the idea of Sirius being
so close to Hogsmeade, we NEVER heard Hermione going on about how risky it was or criticizing Sirius' being
there. Yet, just because the girl realized that it was indeed dangerous for both Harry and Sirius to
communicate, she's suddenly become this cold, emotionless person who doesn't want Harry talking to his
godfather? I wonder if some people conveniently forgot that Sirius was still technically a wanted criminal? And
I'm sure Fudge would have LOVED that; convince the public how much Voldie isn't back by bringing in one ofthe most dangerous criminals and his supporters. Besides that, you have Umbridge who was beyond insane,
Voldemort and his DE's on the loose and Dementors working on Voldemort's orders. Yet despite all this,
Hermione is cold because she merely told Harry that he couldn't put revealing information in a letter that could
be intercepted? She is cold because she tries to discourage him from talking to Sirius in a fireplace considering
a fireplace was where they'd almost been caught and where he was now planning to use the office of the
woman who was certifiably diabolical? She is annoying and motherly because she tells him the truth? That of
course being, that what he wants to do IS crazy and stupid but Ginny is the better partner because she voices
NO objections, simply goes running to her big brothers and gets THEM to solve the problem, giving him what he
wants, regardless of the risks? It amazes me that it hasn't occurred to anyone that this isn't all about Harry.
Some of his risky decisions and rash judgments; they affect more than just him. What was his thought when
Snape threatened to use the truth potion on him in GOF? That the things Snape would find out and the number
of persons that would get in trouble. I mean who was it again who used a time-turner illegally, helping Harry
EVERY step of the way to save Sirius? Oh yes, Hermione. As Lupin pointed out MANY people love Harry and as
such MANY persons lives do become affected by his foolish decisions. That's why I agreed wholeheartedly with
Hermione reminding him of DD running away from Hogwarts to save HIM; yet he was going to throw that back
in DD's face by taking such a silly risk. The fact is there are times when Harry needs someone to knock some
serious sense into his fool's head and it's a little sad that the ONE friend strong enough to do it, gets criticized
for it.
one of it is these, others are in the h/hr corner thread but pls. no arguing there.
