*sails in firing the cannons at everyone* I'm right I tell you, you're all wrong. Well except Will...*firing the cannons* NOooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

O:
D:

Anyways, on to the serious discussions then.

I can't see Harry being alone. He's been alone his whole life (yes he's got Ron and Hermione *sighs* because they can talk to him when they're so busy bickering, which is to say nothing of when they start going all snogfest on Harry. Mind you I'm not complaining but Harry's going to have a time of it.)

*Interlude*

Harry: So what you all want to do?
*Ron/Hermione snogging*
Harry: Yeah, uhm, okay, but what about me? *Harry runs out crying*

Uhm, no. Harry can't be alone. *fires the cannons* Well that's my opinion anyways, which is to say nothing of Cupid, or Barry White...

A boy being awkward around a girl Will is not a sign of uhm, not liking her. On the contrary it's actually a sure fire sign...and I still say that mistletoe thing wasn't coincidental. I really think Ootp was JKR's joke on all the shippers. She was purposefully vague in that book A LOT. I totally ship R/Hr and I find it hard to find things in there as clear as in GoF and now HBP. Sorry if you still don't ship R/Hr after HBP...I really can't make it any clearer...LOL only JKR can. *Ron smoochies Hermione* And of course Ottery Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees for ever. LOL

But I still have to agree with what Will says. The only way H/L could have happened was pre H/G. I don't see anything happening post H/G. I mean it's H/G. What else could there be? Call me myopic (and I'll slap you) but I just don't see anything after H/G. Ginny with Neville? After Harry? I don't think so. With Dean? She left him for Harry. With Seamus? She's never liked him that way (besides he's meant for someone else ), who else? I can't see Ginny with any one else. Harry I could only see with Luna but this was pre-H/G, I will never understand JKR spending so much time on R/Hr when it was so obvious since forever *fires the cannons* I thought for sure HBP would be all H/G love.

I thought Harry/Luna and Ginny/Draco *flees from Will* I really did. But that was before Draco turned out to be such a wuss. Really. I can't see Ginny with him. Maybe Blaise...wow new ship *fires the cannons* because someone hasn't already written a fic about this or something LOL. Anyways, uhm, yeah, D/G isn't happening in canon. But it's cute.

Silly Nargles, Bella's all over Snape I know greasy love yuck *crying* stop please stop *crying* the horror, the horror *Ottery glomps Teddy*

*firing the cannons for love* I love love, and out of canon I love shipping stuff like D/G, N/G, N/L, and H/L, and stuff like that, it's fun thinking up ways to have it happen, but in canon, I really think it's H/G and R/Hr and that's it. End Story. I don't know how they're going to get there (but I do know it won't be a straight road) I have no idea when they'll get there (start or end of the next book, maybe somewhere in the middle?) all I know is that it has to happen and I have all the faith in the world that it will. It's never failed me. I said H/G in HBP (of course I also said H/L and there was that date so I was right) even about the cover. I should just write the next book. LOL. I'd even throw in some action for the boys...LOL. *fires the cannons*

It's all love here.

I don't see Neville dying. Nooo.... He is going to be a teacher at Hogwarts, isn't he? At least it's just my opinion.
And eventually he would find love just it's neither Ginny nor Luna.



I am not sure if I want to see Krum again. But I have a feeling that he would show up for the wedding. If he would speed the confession progress, I would welcome him. But what if he ruins everything... *shivers*
I can't take that anymore.

If we talk about non-canon ships well I would tell 'D/G'
I am pretty sure it would never happen tough and I love G/H... it's just this relationship would be umm... fiery? interesting? )

i realee think that Ron and Hermione will get together, because of the closeness they share i think its kinda obvious....very jealous though cos i wish i could be Hermione!
i think that Harry and Ginny wont get 2geva, i think its more likely 4 him 2 stay with cho for a while longer but i think something awful mite happen between them =S nt sure tho!

This thread is so popular!! Everytime I come in here (once a day) its already on the next page so I have to go back to read posts so I can quote! But anyway, I'll start ...

Its for the 9th day of Potter, I like 'em. I have no idea where she got spots from though, but I love it!

WHAT!! what do you mean you couldnt see it in canon! They're my favourite pairing! ... in the book, not in FF's. Just a sec, before I carry on:
1. Is it that you couldnt see it in canon just because, simply you didnt think it would happen, you didnt think it would work or you think that them being together is just plain stupid?
2. Call me either Beav, Steph or Spots (< hee hee, new nickname! SCORE!!)
3. Im not flaming you, I promise
4. Here, go to this link. Somewhere in there, it has how I feel about L/T

*knocks on Nargles door with stampede of fangirls*

Well, we try to take on the 'issue' in a more mature way. *see's posts that ship Harry/Luna* NO, PEOPLE YOU ARE WRONG!!!! jk. Just to clarify: you can ship who ever you want, I dont care

EXACTLY! Okay, anyone who still ships Harry/Hermy for canon, after HBP need to get their - ... no, I will not turn violent - but anyway JKR said herself that we find out half the answer to that 'question' in HBP and Harry went off with Ginny and Hermione got insanely jealous of Ron when he was with Lavender. It practicaly comes out of the book and punches you in the face. Jo couldnt have made it any more clear.

... Do you mean you thought Harry/Luna and Ginny/Draco for canon? ... because if you did, well to be honest thats just wack. Again, I promise Im not flaming . Okay well ... its just a bit 'out-there'. I mean why on eath would Ginny be with Draco. Just trying to get a point across. If you just shipped them just for fun and because well they're there, then Im up for crack pairings.
lol, Im actually reading a Blaise/Ginny FF at the moment.

LMAO, you make me laugh. *remembers why I quoted* yes, to the point: I really dont beleive that Bella has a thing for Snape. If any ship is to come from 'Spinners End' I would say Snape/Cissy. YES, I do realise she is married (well done cappie, *cheers* ) but so is Bella. Anyway, what we saw - sorry, read - in 'Spinners End' from Bella was sincere. She really does loath Snape and is watching out for Voldy and herself (lets face it, she wouldnt really be worried about the sake of other DE's)

I could so see Neville as a Herbology teacher at Hogwarts!

*relaxes* That took forever!

First of all Rupert~Loves~Me, Rupert loves me *Teddy smacks Ottery*
T: Canon ships!

Okay on topic...

I think Emma wrote it brilliantly in her ficlet about the Bill/Fleur wedding *insert sarcasm here* (Imagine that, a Bill/Fleur wedding where DE don't show and everyone doesn't die. Like that would ever be canon.) Krum shows up and he's the catalyst for R/Hr. Considering its taken as long as it has, maybe they do need a spark, if you think on it, it's through jealousy that they've come to realize their feelings and maybe if Lavender showed up too *Ottery being Aaron Spelling* and we throw a few of the guests into the lake...

*Ottery dreams of a Weasley Dynasty-style Wedding* Mwahahahahaha

Anyways... I'll write that later...OMG!

We should mark all non-canon ships as such because Will's eye starts to twitch if you mention D/G and he thinks you mean canon but I think it's cute outside of it. Now.

Beav, I never thought T/L was stupid, if anything I thought it was cute and it is. I love T/L, I just didn't think JKR would write it in canon (if anything halfway through HBP I was wondering if Tonks didn't have a crush on Sirius *Will's eye starts to twitch* but that wasn't so obviously). With all these naysayers going around about how HP isn't about love and romance, I thought, well maybe I was shipping in extremis no? So I didn't think she would actually write it in the book. She did. I love it. I loved it when I thought it was a non-canon ship, I love it now.

I love Pince/Filch too. *fires the cannons* I think Slughorn/Sprout could happen. *fires the cannons*

I know you're not flaming love *glomps then takes out the cannons* and that's easily said now post HBP *fires the cannons* I was saying this well before, when I was shipping N/L. I've been shipping on SS since I joined. It's the reason I joined, when Will was sure the book wouldn't come out until 2006, and Marce was sure H/L would be. Truth is I was sure H/L would happen. *pouts* Should've happened. I forgive your smugness.

I think Blaise/Ginny would be cute...*squeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee* ahem but not in canon.

I swear, Snape is going to live, why? He's survived this long *glares at Ems* you're going to tell me a dead man walking? I don't know...besides God has a sense of humor.

*fast forward two years hence with book 7 out*

Snape: Harry, I am your father...
Harry: WTF??!!!
Lily's Ghost:
Ottery: WTF??!!

*Snape saves Harry and hooks up with Bella and Ottery dies from shock cursing his foul luck and that greasy git*

I don't think Neville will teach Herbology, he might but...I see him as an auror. [/sarcasm] And married to Luna.

O.k i understand wat ur saying but i just feel like its something that might happen..u know how JK gets with things like these things

Grow up Otts, I didn't say anything mean. Besides, you can't pick on someone who doesn't exist *pets*

And therein lies the reason why I still ship H/L. Truce?

Yes you could. But like I said, I don't think she will so it's a nonissue. She loves Harry and she always has. She only saw other guys cause Harry wasn't paying her attention and she tried to get over him. Now she knows he loves her, so there's nothing wrong, essentially. Apart from Harry being a silly boy. Lupin needs to have words with Potter. Or Tonks. Or both. And slap him with a wooden plank too. What is it with HP men always trying to be so 'noble'? Ack. They just end up hurting people MORE.

Unfortunately, yeah that's the way it is.

I think part of what made him uncomfortable was the realisation that that's what he used to be like. In the sense that, until Hogwarts, Harry himself had no friends. Realising you have parrallels with an oddball like Luna is probably enough to scare any lad.

But c'mon misteltoe. Jo did that to wind us up. Like Otts said, H/L can't have been that bad a theory, otherwise she'd have debunked it like the ridiculous N/L. As it is, she probably didn't because it was the only real challenge to H/G given the fact that Hr/H is the biggest joke in the HP fandom.

Snape was once loved by someone. OK OK so it's probably his mother but still...and the Narcissa thing...compassion people. Cissy should get a new man. Lucius is gone and well Voldemort will probably (hopefully) kill Draco. Cissy/Snape anyone?

And who can blame her? She loves toying with us. She's admitted cackling while writing and visiting sites with glee. The woman is a genius. And the fact that she reaches out so much and acknowledges her fandom...makes her a great public figure. Yeah this isn't an "I love JK thread" but I do. Love.

Bella? She's suspicious of Snape. Smart woman. I've always imagined it's Voldy she'd rather eat crumpets with. muahaha.

Truce nothing Emma!!!!!!!!!!!! It's unconditional surrender or death! *Ottery is a hardcore shipper*

*Ottery presents Emma his sword on bended knee* You won my heart long ago...*gives Emma smoochies and runs off to loot and plunder*

You don't think Ginny's going to go with another boy (well neither do I but...) OMG! Emma's an H/G shipper...

Hurting the ones you love? Hmm...now there's a recurring theme...

Vive l'amour! *le fires le cannons*

I wanted H/L too, I mean...not like you did Ems, you were totally the captain of that ship here on SS *Ottery was the cabin boy* but I wanted it too...I've just always thought...Harry and Ginny were meant for each other forever, you know? I think (actually I know) if Harry and Ginny didn't end up together I would've cried loads...and don't ever tell me it's just a book. True art touches the soul. Your art touches my soul Ems *gives smoochies and whispers* but I still hate Christmas...

I don't know? Could Snape's mother have loved him? I mean that's like saying Voldemort's mother loved him...LOL (did she? Can't remember, must read HBP OMG!)

And I totally love JKR too, but you have to admit, Ootp was a mean joke (on the H/Hr shippers LOL) c'mon it was R/Hr since forever...suddenly it's going to change? LOL She plotted the books from the beginning, she's known how it's going to be all along...that's why I don't like the argument that (I didn't see it) fine, but that doesn't mean it isn't there. Go. Look. Reread the books.

The mistletoe thing really was your idea first Emms. Credit where credit is due. It wasn't holly and ivy that's all I'm saying. *fires the cannons* And I still ship H/L out of canon...

EDIT: Bella/Snape is like R/Hr, it works the same way you know? They hate each other so it must be love...LOL I love how that works for everything...LOL D/Hr, D/G, Snape/anybody...LOL *The McG/S sets sail* OMG where's Snoggy...LOL

But yes, I think Bella's after Voldy's biscuits...I mean...he threatened to punish her at the end of Ootp and in HBP she's all strutting around as if nothing. What he do? Kill her husband? Gee thanks boss...now he's out the way... *evil smoochies*

O: Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Meanwhile in a dark corner Snape seethes with jealous anger...and plots the downfall of the Dark Lord. Mwahahahahahaha

That's the 2nd time you've accused me of that in as many days. In your wildest dreams perhaps but no, sorry. If nothing else that would make me a glory supporter, a jumper-on-the-bandwagoner.

Are suggesting anyone could love him in a non-nurturing way? I think Merope (loving that name) loved him BUT when Riddle decided to ditch her she probably resented the child. But as you know I'm a Snape/Lily shipper. He was so infatuated with her.

Snape & Cissy. She so wants him. haha.

Bella's twisted; she would've enjoyed the torture.

Okay what I hate is some people say that D/G is impossible! I find that a bit annoying since its completely possible. JK has never set her foot down on this ship. However for D/Hr she has. Everyone also says that D/G would only occur if Draco changed. We all know what she's been through in her first year so this could also mean that Ginny could turn into Dark!Ginny. Ofcourse however unlikely this is it doesn't mean its impossible!

So true. They haven't officially confessed yet though some ppl. think they did at the funeral scene in HBP but if they confess their love, Jo will make sure it's in the presence of the reader (ya know, with Harry hanging around somewhere) and not just implied.

No matter what happens to them in the final battle or book, they will always be alive and happy in my mind! Well said, angeline_fire!

Yes...I mean why shud Jo let anything go before the last book...just like theres this mystery of how Voldemort and Harry will hav their final battle....in the same way theres this mystery of how these relationships will end.
After GoF....OoTP was like a mist, its there but u can't see throught it....that was the Ron-Hermione thing there.....Ron asking Harry if Hermione still was in contact with Vicky'as he so acidly puts'...hahaha.....Hermione's face softening when Ron tore up that sick letter from Percy which asked him to cut off friendship wid Harry....and how she'd go out to comfort Ron when he'd been sick at quidditch....
It was there too....In OoTP....but as I said...just behind that mist!
But HBP...is like one slap of evidence!
R/Hr attraction is basically all that fighting and arguing......
they can't leave a chance to oppose eachother...and yet cannot live without the other!
Thats something I love.....their bickering and then they know they'll go back being friends....they just can't live without!


*too much praise.....*embarrassed*
But yes...... Ron hermione is meant to be.... if no where else...in my mind definitely!
and yet again...i want to say theyve not confessed in words but they know where to lean on !

YAY! another ridiculously long post from Beav! Only this one has colours because I was bored! ooo, coloured writting...

Okay, glad thats sorted. HP isnt just based on love, but everything. It follows Harry's life and his quest for voldemort and of course in life there is love so I disagree when people say that its not about romance because theres romance in the books ... did that make sense? Im really bad at trying to explain how I feel about things.

hee hee thats cute.
... old people love ... ew ... OMG, McGonagall/Dumbledore AAARRRRRRGGGHH!! *gags* IMAGES, IMAGES!!!!

lol. To be honest I never shipped Harry with anyone. I had no idea what was going to happen with him in the romance area.

I dont know if Snape will die ... I dont know enough to reach a conclusion. OMG! Have you seen Dogma? ... I know this is completely off the topic but Alan Rickman is in it (for all you sheltered people, he acts Snape) and at the start of the movie it goes on how God has a sense of humour.

LMAO, WTF?? ... okay Lily having an affair is slightly weird.
awwww, come on, it could happen. Neville would be so cute as a teacher!

Yeah thats what I thought. Lets hope Harry ends up talking to one of them and then realises he's being stupid and gets back with Ginny! *crosses fingers*. As for the 'noble' men in HP, its because theyre Gryffindors.

hmmm, I really want to find out more about Snapes past. We learnt about Tom, now its Snapes turn! Yeah, Im up for Cissy/Snape, theyre about the same age too.

LMAO! yes, she's completely devoted to 'the dark lord'.

... Well I am really confused at the moment which proves I need to read HBP again. I think there was something between Snape and Lily but I do not ship them. I think that Snape just had feelings for her. I also think that Remus had feelings for her too but was too shy and loyal to James to say anything.

I never really noticed it in OotP but yes, HBP basically told us that it was Ron/Hermy all the way!

*echoes Snape* But it's not noble, it's stupid! lol

Well from what we know Tom, Snape and Harry all have parrallels and that will probably prove important. I'm actually leaning toward Snape being the heir of Gryffindor seeing as it isn't Harry.

Merope Gaunt, a squib, was Voldy's mother and his father was Tom Riddle, a muggle. And yeah Lily was popular with the guys, according to Jo, so it wouldn't surprise me if every Marauder crushed on her at some point.

It wouldnt suprise me either. Im just wondering, that if there are parallels between the Mauraders and students currently in the school,who is the modernized version of Lily?

Okay, nothing is impossible but, well... DG sounds impossible doesn't it? I mean there is a possibility that Draco might choose the good side but well, even if he does, it's not likely that he would find Ginny and loves her. He will be trying to save his own neck, I don't see romance for Draco.

Ginny turning into the dark side, now it 's a big imagination.

Besides, another reason why this ship wouldn't happen, Ginny is Harry's girl, even if they broke at the end of HBP.

probably Ginny...just cuz Jo mentions in HBP that Ginny's famous
but I guess even Ginny is not that academic...as so Slughorn praises Lily in front of Harry...
Lily had red hair...so has Ginny....but thats so completely off the point!

I have a huge feeling that (ok not feeling, I believe) Snape loved Lily! And I don't know why but I think that there is a connection between this love and his turning to the good side .

I think that if anything, the love that you are alleging Snape held for Lily would make him more resentful toward the lighter side of the force. He would hold resentment and anger because he was never able to love her the way he wanted to.

Was she a squib? She was always described as a witch mother...

My take on it was that she was just so intimidated by her father that her spells just never came off right, much like Neville. She has no confidence and is so downtrodden and mentally abused that it affects her magical ability. But that's just my take on things.

Quote:

toward the lighter side of the force.

The dark side I sense in you... [/yoda]

This you sense properly....


And I thought that Merope was a witch as well, but because of the opression of her father (just like Dainsie said) the magic within her was lsupressed because magic is tied to the emotions...

Something like that

okay yes it is obvious that ron and hermione will get together well hopefully! i mean JK can't just leave us hanging like that you know? i would just love to see them together and plus if they do...we all know they are going to kiss....we can see it in the movie! ha i have to see that and i read something about ron and hermiones relationship and dan was commenting on it and he said he would love to see them get together and wouild love to just see them kiss....he said it would be akward to kiss her probably but hey it comes with the territory! anyways i don't think that harry and ginny will get together again i think it was just a little quicky and that was it...

I disagree. I think because of the emotional depth and emotion involved in the relationship, if Harry survives the seventh book (IF!) they will be very happy together for a very long time.

hmmMmm...well definately Ron/ Hermione

whut about that librarian(oh whats-her face)and Filch?

Those too are the only ones who I can think of or i dunno...maybe voldy will find love at the end.....hehehe

if harry survives he'll go back to Ginny...and Ginny's luved him all her life..almost*...so she'll wanna b with him too!
well it wudve been......but not anymore after HBP.
Hey u are talking abt the book???aren't you???
and if ure talkin the movie...i dont think so...Rupert's grown outta that awkward stage .... emma was mature for her age....so wont b awkward between the two of em...*probably slightly* i guess....
yes....it can be so
Thats so like Snape............. holding resentment and James of all ppl...who made Lily his....something thatd make him hold the resentment for life!
