Hello everybody! I´m Siamsa, a girl from Spain and new in this forum. First of all, sorry for my terrible english and all my gramatical mistakes.
There are a few things that I would like to share with you, one of them is about Ootp, quite funny actually. There is a spell that its introduce in chapter 18 "Dumbledore´s Army" that spell is "Silencio" For someone, person or animal to keep quiet. Am I wrong?
Well, Silencio in spanish means silence, and if you say it loud or in bad manners it means "SHUT UP". Can you imagine Hermione in the DoM shouting to a Deatheater "Silence" or "Shut up"??
Well, that´s how it sounds for us, here in Spain...

An other thing that I would like to share with you is that I used to be r/hr shipper myself sorry guys, (like most people here) but I have to tell you how I became a H/Hr
It began three years ago, when I was finishing the highschool. I had two best frieds (males), and becouse we liked Harry Potter very much we decided to use the H/HR/R names for ourselfs. Of course I had to choose "Hermione", I was the only girl...
Like I was saying, we took those names and I remember how much fun it was for us on those days. But suddenly, something happened to me, something than I couldn´t imagine that it was going to happen, I fell in love with "Harry" and "OH NO, HOW am I going to tell HIM!!!!! I didn´t know if his feelings for me were the same, besides I had the strange feeling the "Ron" had a crush on me...
Believe me this is a real story I´m not inventing anything..
Finally the last week of the term I decided to tell him the truth... And guess what!!!!!??? He was in love with me too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are being together now for almost three years!!!
So a year ago, I was speeking with my boyfriend "Harry" about r/hr shippers and he told me that he was a H/Hr, and I was like "WHAAAAAAT" "You never told me that!!" Then he started to quote several things from the books and how H an HR make a greate couple, and how we ended together,,,. bla, bla, bla....
And thats how I became a H/HR shipper, than and reading OotP, wich is full of H/hr shipping quotes .

I mean, It wouldn´t bothered me if r/hr happens but I think H/Hr is much better, They make a great couple, Me and my boyfriend we make a great couple

Anyway GO H/HR SHIPPERS!!! (is that how you say it? )



Siamsa.

Selenity

aww.... that was really sweet.... I hope you and your harry would be happy forever... and ai also hope the book based Harry and Hermione would do the same....

Welcome to PK and enjoy the pumpkin pies!!!!

How very shippy, "Hermione"!
It's incredibly cute how you and "Harry" chose those names, and just so happened to fall in love with each other. It definitely sounds like Herm-own-ninny to not know how to tell dear old Harry her true feelings. You know what? That story just made my day ^.^
What a great story! ^.^

Love the story, Siamsa! Welcome to Portkey...it's people like you that remind us how great the ship of HMS Pumpkin Pie is. Enjoy your stay here! (By the way, don't feel bad about previously being an R/Hr shipper---so was I! I only switched after watching the second movie and re-reading the books. )

Oh wow, what a cute story! I was squeeing so much while reading it :3 I'm happy for you two!

And btw, your english is actually very good ^^ Welcome, and have fun here!

Welcome to portkey!
Hmm...real life stories...gives me this idea...
Imagine H/Hr/R have idols and ending up living something like that!

oh my gosh! that is the sweetest h/hr story i have ever heard!!! welcome to Portkey! And don't worry. Your English is perfect. I hope everything continues to go great with you and "Harry"! That is so awesome! Sorry! I just loved that story!

Oh wow!! That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard! Well good luck you two..and I hope your together for a really long time...(Like Harry and Hermione will be...heh)

Not sure if this should go in the H/Hr forum, but it's not really about them...

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone had personal experiences like a Harry/Hermione relationship.

I ask this because yesterday the guy I've fancied for over a year asked me out ( ). We've been really good friends since we met last February. We're really, really compatible, like the same things etc... Incidentally, I have bushy brown hair and read a lot and he has curly, black hair... Last year, he went out with someone I know... uncompatible, she was pretty, they broke up after a few months... completely pointless.

Anyway, I just can't help seeing the parallels! Do you think H/Hr shippers are automatically drawn to H/Hr type relationships?

(Incidentally, we've decided to put off 'going out' till after the exams, so we're not really... but it's still cool!)

Mirtilla- if you're reading this, please don't mention it on my LJ!

~Silvestria~

Ohh congrats!

The boy I've had my eyes on since kindergarten (yes, you read that correct- Kindergarten! Five years old!) was SO CLOSE to asking me out last year, but then I just had to move *grumbles* And he always dates the pretty girls, who don't really have anything in common with him. *Sigh* But I've long given up on him.


I do, however, have my eyes on another friend of mine. We've been friends since fifth grade, and he's very sweet. Recently, he's pissed me off so I've put him on pause. To quote the immortal words of Hermione, "Boys!"

Anyways, good luck with you and your "Harry"!

Awwww, That is so cute.*heart melts*

Well, you know how it seems like everyone around Harry and Hermione sees something going on between them but they're oblivious of it.
Yes, that's what I'm in at the mo.
Everyone sees it but me and my "Harry"-as far as anything goes we're good friends and that's all there is to it.

Don't worry I will not mention it, I'm rather good at keeping secrets. And I'm glad to see that they guy you fancied asked you to go out with him also, I wish you "I miei migliori auguri di Buona Fortuna"

- Mirty

Maybe there are parallels but I keep my private life usually very muchly away from my online activitiy, also I think I'm able to draw a line between fiction and reality. BUT there are parallels, I would lie if I denied it. Yet in my life there is no happy ending, just the feeling. Funny enough I wrote actually a fanfic about this.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck.

i fancy my best friend and i tried everything possible to make him understand...... but HE'S TOTALLY AND UTTERLY BLIND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I could kill him!the worst thing is that he has a crush on a girl i hate............and i'll be at skool with him for other 5 years......................my god, what should i do?

The thing you need to understand about boys is that they're stupid.

Sorry boys, but when it comes to women you are!

Unless you march right up to this guy wearing nothing but a sign that reads "I LOVE <insert name here>" while singing "I love <insert name here>" at the top of your lungs with your hair on fire he ain't gonna get it.

Drop all the clues you want.... he ain't gonna get it!

Seriously. I'm by no means trying to be a jerk, this is just honest advice. If you want a guy to know you like him don't tiptoe around the fact, just tell him, or he really will never know.

Hit him in the head with a really BIG stick.


.......or take Fitchburg Finch's advice.
But the stick is a fun idea too.

If you don't want to really jump and confess your dying love use the what-if idea.One day just say something like hey,do you know some people think we're going out?What do you think of that?
Then somehow say well, I don't mind the idea and watch his reactions.

I dunno if this would count, but...

At my school I know a couple of girls who remind me of Hermione and Luna. The girl who reminds me of Hermione is very studious, freaks out if she doesn't get a perfect score, has bushy brown hair and brown eyes, and is very intelligent. The only thing that is very un-Hermione about her is she's a littly nutty

The other girl has blue eyes, long blonde hair, and her nickname is "Loo." I mean, come on! She's also had fits of prolonged laughter and she can be considered a little weird.

I'm probably more of a Ginny. *sigh* Which is really ironic because I hate her character, lol. I've always been very shy around boys I like and recently I've been more in-your-face to everyone and being more extroverted. *sighs again* Oh, the irony...

Oh, there's this other boy at my school who is a dead-ringer for Ron! He's got fiery red hair, blue eyes, and is really tall and gangly looking. Funny thing, he and "Luna" are really good friends

I think that people ship based on what they want in a relationship, so ar more prone to finding love in that type of relationship. Take Suzy and Johnny the two H/Hr shippers that have been friends since they were young. Chances are, they're not going to fall in love with some random persn, they're going to fall in love with eachother.

Well, I've mucked up the discussion enough now.

Luff,

I left portkey for a while, busy with real life.

I came back to glance at the fics and seriously just realized...

I picked the wrong friend. I don't love my boyfriend at all. I'm with Ron and I let Harry go. Harry is my best friend. I can't wait for him to call. We talk for hours. Whenever I kiss Ron, I secretly wish he were Harry.

You'd think it'd be an obvious fact? That you're in love with your best friend? and dating the wrong friend?

You can pretend that you're over someone all you want, but somehow you know you only want to be in his arms, and clearly, you're in the wrong arms.

So, for the record, it's possible to make a mistake. Hermione picked the wrong guy...Go for Harry, don't let him go.

Orig Topic Title: real live relationships, does anyone find themselves comparing your relationship to H/Hr



Just wondering, but has anyone ever found themselves thinking "Wow, that is something that Harry and Hermione would have done." Or do you find yourself comparing your boyfriend/girlfriend to Harry/Hermione. Or maybe even somebody you are interested in. I have caught myself doing that, and I have caught myself doing a lot more recently since I started coming on the forums and reading more H/Hr fiction. I am just like psycho and wierd, or am I not alone?

Definitely not alone. Over the years, all of the childhood and desperate crushes I've had, I compared all of them. My first crush wasn't like any of them; he was just a guy in my class and I thought he was cute. Though it was kinda like R/Hr, I acted like I hated him and we would fight. This went on until around eighth grade, then I started crushing on my best guy friend. hehe.


So, for the answer to a long story short, you aren't the only one who thinks that way.

Here's the Story:

I have a freind and shes a girl, shes the I LOVE SHOPPING SOOO MUCH TYPE and her best guy friend is really really smart...I mean His Like a Human Encyclopedia...well atleast thats what i call him. The thing is, all of us that are in Their Circle of Friends were all saying that they would make the perfect Couple. They really Do balance each other out...He pushes her to study more...While SHE gets him to be more open...ALL of us notices how SHE can MAKE him smile like no other...well anyways theyre just adorable together...and as i have said we have all been telling them how they both should start dating...well my friend says "no, it would be weird because his been my best friend since 4th grade" and to make a long story short they have been dating for almost 2 months now...both in their junior year of highschool...yup reaal cute but i never did compare them to HHr until now...

and yes I have my own life Story that does reminds me now of HHr...I just dont want to admit it just yet

Sadly all the relationships I have been in have been R/Hr and as you can guess, they never worked out. We just clashed too much and he got on my nerves so much.

I'm dying to meet my Harry!

Yeah well I had my HHr story....ended up badly, I lost my BF and lover and well we are just friends now, but that kind of friends you rarely talk too...he shipped H/G that was a -...but I really loved him and our story was pretty much like HHr..so I always hoped that HHr would be different in the end, just the way mine couldn't be, it would at least show me how perfect my future could have been with that guy! One thing though after accepting it was over, I still feel a certain platonic love towards him

Hello!
(first of all...sorry for my english, it´s not my first language)
I posted something like this two years ago in this forum. Here I go.

I have to say that I used to be a Heron (Shame on me ), I believed that Ron and Hermione were the perfect couple,anyway, back then I had two best friends, and becouse we liked Harry Potter so much we named ourselfs Harry, Ron and Hermione (just between us and for fun).
It was just a game. I happen to have bushy long hair and "Harry" has black hair and "Ron´s" is brown. But also, I had a closer relationship with "Harry" and used to disagree a lot with "Ron"about everything.
Well, the thing is that "Harry" and I.... well... we fell in love . And we´ve been together for five years now.
So, there you go... I have to belive that H/Hr will happen, must happen! Because that´s what it was for me, I fell in love with my best friend. And I guess thats what makes the difference in a long term relationship.
Keep your faith!!
(And your delusions:P)

OMG! How cute, an actual, real-life H/Hr relationship! Go you! Sadly, I haven't had any H/Hr romances. No real romances to think of actually.

I know the feeling BL_Paul. No real romance on this end either. Though, I do have a best friend/romantic situation kind of like H/Hr. My best friend happens to be male, and we've been best friends since the beginning of middle school. Everyone says that we should date (actully, he asked me out a few months ago) Unfortunatly, it doesn't have an ideal H/Hr ending--I turned him down (he's like my brother...that would just be way too weird)

that is so cool. I used to date this guy, and at first he was all sweet to me, but after a month or so, we started to argue, A LOT. in the end we ended breaking. we kind of just fell back into place as really good friends, and he is kind of like a brother. Anyway, my current boyfriend is the best, and he is a lot like Harry. Really sweet and patient with me (I can get a temper sometimes) lol, the funny thing is, the first guy I dated, had carrot red hair like ron. anyway that is sort of my story

No, because the only relationships I have been in was nooooot serious. I was only pretending because I thought it was funny. (Lol I'm so childish) And I havent met my Harry XD

While my husband and I were mere acquaintances for several months before we ended up dating, one of the reasons I was so adamant against R/Hr and for H/Hr was because of the comparisons to real-life dynamics.

My husband and I have a very balanced relationship, with different but often complimentary interests. He's the more social, outgoing one and I'm the more introverted and quiet one, etc. and so forth.

I'd been reading HP since 1998; he finished the first book in the car on the way to the PS/SS movie. (And he went for OBHWF, damn him. He insisted on buying the last book when I would have ignored it.) At one point we were having a shipping discussion, and one of the things I mentioned was that I saw our marriage as a H/Hr relationship. And he shocked the blazes out of me by saying that we weren't H/Hr, but that he had a H/Hr friendship with a very dear friend from his college days. (She was in our wedding, I love her to bits and we try to get together anytime she's in town with her husband and kids.) But it just went to show how for him, H/Hr never once equaled romance in his mind.

We did agree, though, that we do not have a R/Hr relationship. That title belongs to friends of his, again from college. We spent a weekend with them and I finally had to go hide in our bedroom with books nabbed from their shelves. Their entire conversation with one another, at any given point, was a running effort to score points off the other. A constant debate that shifted from humorous to petty to vicious at the drop of a hat. I think living through that weekend was one of the things that turned me so adamantly against the idea of R/Hr early, because I did not understand then and do not understand now how they can possibly enjoy each other's company when all they do is argue.
