Eating Crow - A shipper Thread

[Tanuki]

Just so I get to say it before all y'all say "I told you so." I hate being wrong, but apparently it was Harry/Ginny

[niki_192]

wat were u wrong with ("it is harry/ginny") tanuki..................?????????????????????????????

[Tanuki]

I was a Harry/Hermione shipper

[thestral]

since i'm a nice person, i'll only say 'i told you so' once. so here goes, *deep breath* I TOLD YOU SO!!!!!!! yes!!!! whoopee!!!! yeah SCORE!!!!

there, got it out of my system. sorry tanuki. i won't be mean again. but i had to enjoy it once. but let us shake hands on the matter now. however unfortuantly no-one did take my bet.... fawning admiration would've been nice.....

[Tanuki]

*shakes hand while glaring* Fine, I'll shake on that, not like I can change things anyway. Rassa frassin JKR, makin' me feel stupid for hopin' for things

[thestral]

it's okay tanuki, we can all hope and then blame JK when our dreams are brutally crushed in the books (sirius, i will never get over it). and if i feel the need to say 'i told you so' again, i'll hold my tongue in a ladylike thoughtful way. then content myself by reading old posts of our 'discussions'.

remember it's not stupid to hope and dream.

[Tanuki]

Yeah, but now I gotta replot all my fanfics. Though slughorn does make for a better future head of Slytherin house

[Scarlet Lioness]

YAY!!! I've been right all along I've always been a H/G shipper through and through and also a R/H Its sooooo obvious who Hermione likes therefore I'm practically right twice...

Sorry to all those dissapointed H/H shippers, I think I just rubbed it in too much...lol!!!

*looks at floor sulkily*

I belive I will take my place next to Tanuki...

[Ginny Potter]

Hmmmm...interesting title for a thread. You know, I'm going to change my name to "Ginny Potter" at BaO because really, when I came on here, I could have gone either way...there were things I really liked about Ginny and Harry (and some of that came from the two actors in the second movie), but I also liked Hermione and Harry, though, strangely, it was more that I liked their scenes together and how strong their friendship is. I never really felt a romantic connection between them...I just liked them working together side by side, like they did in book 3, if that makes any sense! That being said, however...

I'm not sure how fond I am of the gloating that seems to be taking place, but perhaps I'm taking it out of context. Is it necessary, if it is gloating? It wasn't exactly a contest. That Harry chose Ginny doesn't bother me so much as it seems like people are kinda rubbing it in other's faces, but like I said, I'm probably taking it all too literally. If I am, you have my apologies...it's just how it sounded to me on first reading...

There are many things I really like about Harry/Ginny...I like that she's come into her own, though I did think it was kinda sweet when she had a crush on Harry. I like that, although it isn't a pleasant thing, that they share being tainted by Voldemort, so they understand that about each other. And yes, it's been said before, but the red hair and him looking like his dad...it is reminiscent of James/Lily. However, there were times, in the 6th book, where I felt like the "romance" aspect got to be a little much. Maybe that's me...I just felt like, after a while, ok, I get it, they're 16, and they're hormonal, and what not. I did like, at the end, that Ginny went back and talked about how she had always liked him and hadn't really gotten over him...it made me smile. They're were times I felt like Ginny was a little strident for my taste, bu then again, Ron has had a history of really pushing girls' buttons.

I hope I haven't offended anyone by what I have said. I do really like Ginny and Harry together, on further reflection and remembering that I liked them before. Book 5 sent me into a real tailspin...it seemed nothing was like it was in the first four books! It's as though, if Ginny and Harry had gotten together in book 5, it would have seemed a little smoother to me, but I suppose the point about being herself and on her own was really great for her...I just got so used to NOT thinking of her and Harry together! The jury's still out on Ron/Hermione for me...would it last?

[Un'Anima Persa]

err, i am sorry, but is this hermione potter by chance?

[Ginny Potter]

Yes, that's correct! It would have been SMART for me to tell people that, wouldn't it have? Whoops...

apart from the avatar, I was lead to believe it was you by your Starbucks location, as we all know about that from the Three Broomsticks



Back on topic, I do say that the Harry/Ginny thing was a nice bit, but it would have been nice to see a Harry/Hermione ship there. near the beginning, I was lead to belive that there may have been something, but it was crushed later on...

Indeed...that JKR is full of surprises! In a way, I can see maybe that it's better...remember what Harry said about how he worried if Ron and Hermione broke up that it would be awkward for them after that? I think there's some truth there...and I'd hate to see that happen to Harry and Hermione. Competitive as she is, she's good for Harry in a lot of ways.

I'm chuckling that my Starbucks locale gave me away, so to speak...I am so going to take this book and re-read it soon at Starbucks!

[Scarlet Lioness]

I was also thinking near the start that there was going to be H/H somewhere in the book since they spent soooo much time together...

I also knew that it was Hermione Potter because of the Starbucks location...lol!!!
