This was merged with What if the Trio stayed platonic? ~gal-texter

I don't really know what I'll do.. I really hope they will end up together... but it all depends on J.K. Rowling.. what would you all do?

I would still believe but if the book turned out like that I would just read it and change some stuff around in my head to make it harry and Hermione!!!!! lol

Good idea punk_princess!
As for me, I wouldn't mind that much. I can still read post-Hogwarts fanfics where H/Hr break up with their canon partners. (Ah, the wonderful world of fandom!!!:lol:)

Still, I think we've got a lot of waiting to do before book 7 comes out. I refuse to worry about it yet.
Well. Not much anyway!

~*~Karen~*~

Not me. I would be very, very sad. I`d be mad at JKR too

LOL, but I would read lots of Post Hogwarts fics.

i'm writing one post-hogwarts fic..

Have a temper tantrum similar to that of a two year old. No, seriously, while it would be rather upsetting, I think I could handle it. I really want H/Hr to happen in canon, but I'm trying not to count on it. I personally think that the evidence is there, and I think that it has a good chance of happening, but I don't want to set myself up for a great disappointment.

Fortunately, as a lot of people have said, there's plenty of fan fiction that does showcase H/Hr. I'd probably sink into the little world I'm already creating. (I have a fifth year fanfiction; it's nearly completely, and I have plans to do sixth and seventh year as well.) Or, I could just pretend that PoU is canon. Oooh... that's what I'll do!

I guess my point is that I'll read and love Harry Potter whether or not H/Hr happens. It's probably easier for me; Hermione is my favorite character, and, as stupid as it sounds, as long as she ends up with someone that it seems like she wants to be with, then I'll be happy, and the same goes to Harry. It's weird, I know, but these characters are so real to me that I almost think of them like I do of my friends. It's their life, not mine; therefore, they should do what makes them happy. Gaah... I'm so obsessed.

I think I would make my own version of the books or read fanfiction

Plan revenge on JKR.

I would cry, spit and curse everything J.K Rowling related...

Jeez just kidding.

I would be mad and probably would cry...i cried when John+Aeyrn died and they were together i know.

there's always fandom

Besides if that did happen, then would probably be an abundance of post-hogwarts fics I can read.

After reading GOF, I'm fully prepared if H/Hr doesn't happen. Although, after reading some brilliant theories, essays, and rants, my opinions have changed a bit.

Sure, I'd be disappointed, but it's nothing that a good fanfic can't cure. Hey, we can always dream can't we? There are tons of Post-Hogwarts fics out there...some great ones, I might add

I won't do anything irrational like plot revenge and that sort of thing *hehe* (although, it does sound tempting...j/k).

[
i will live in AU and prtend that is how it happened

proof that denile is not just a river

Well if Harry and Hermione don't get together, then I'll boycott her books forever!!!

Nah...jj... but I will have to say this...

If Harry and Hermione don't get together, then I hope that Harry will develop "more than friends" feelings for her at least in Canon, but he won't nessessarily make it known to Hermione or anyone else for that matter. I think it would be good for the plot because if Voldemort finds of Harry's crush, he may use it against him.

Another thing... if Harry doesn't end up being with Hermione, then he better not be with anyone else! Not Ginny! Not Cho! Not Nobody! I'm serious! If he can't have Hermione, then he can't have anyone!

Sorry if I may have offended any other people that SHIP differently on this thread (though why on earth would you be on a H/H site anyway? )

Of course this is all my opinion.. but anyone else agree with me in some way shape or form...?

Well, I'll be very sad, of course, because I'm huge H/Hr-shipper...
And really, if Harry can't have Herm, then he can't have anyone (you're right, DVSEzekiel316)!!

But, if there's R/Hr and H/G in books, for example, we still have lots of nice H/Hr fics and fansites and fanart! Right?

But I don't think things like this, because I'm sure that there'll be H/Hr!
H/Hr forever!

1) I would repeatedly tell myself that it is not true and it's really a dream or some horrible nightmare.

2) I would curl up in my pajamas day after day in front of the computer reading H/Hr fic after fic after fic until I convinced myself this is what happened.

3) I would suddenly feel very ill.

I sincerely wish that H/Hr would happen in the canon. However, if it doesn't, I know everyone here will continue on in our own world where H/Hr was never a question.

I seriously would get upset if it became R/Hr...I just don't...like the idea.

I also have a prediction that if H/Hr did not happen it would be the birth of many new topics in this forum

But hopefully we won't need to do that.

Whatever happens, it will only make the H/Hr shippers stronger
Still everyone keep their fingers crossed!

I'd feel really bad.. I'd probably cry.. but there's always fanfiction...

(i don't even wanna think about H/Hr not happening, they so meant to be)!

After reading GoF, I felt really strange, because I never suspected, Ron and Hermione could fall in love. I thought she was meant for Harry, and everything was allright. Both are my favs characters, and Ron, was the funny one, but nothing else. I felt dissapointed, and after I felt even angry, because I couldn´t understand those who ship RH. I couldn´t even understand Jo. Why did she choose this couple?

After the release of CoS, the thing was worse: Rh only shake hands, and HH hug each other, while CC said this was foreshadowing. Jo wouldn´t have gave her permission to shoot this scene, if she is not going to develop a future RH relationship.

OK, I´m prepared. I´m pretty sure HH willneverhappenincanon(OMG!!!). I hate this idea, I really hate it, but there is nothing we can do, except throwing away the HP books.
If I were Hermione I would fall madly in love with Harry. I´m sure.

Well, another theory is the love triangle. I love the idea Ron-Hermione-Harry.

Forgive, me please. I´m a bit depressed today. My mum has just finished watching CoS ( in spanish), and she said it is so obvious Ron and Hermione like each other.

Nailju

good question.
i'm hoping, praying, wishing, etc. etc. with everything i have that jkr *will* realize by book 7 that harry and hermione just BELONG together!!!
one comforting thought is that i really don't think jkr is the type to include much fluff no matter what happens in the love lives of any of the characters. so i'll still be able to read (and re-read again and again) all the canon books, 'cause i'll still love hp.

i'll probably have a nice big fight with my r/hr shipper friends as they will probably say, 'ha, we told you so' and i'll respond... (but that's beside the point, really.)

then i'd be depressed for a while.

and then i'd dive into all the post-hogwarts fanfic, read PoU over and over and over again, until I've convinced myself that Lori is another penname for JKR herself and PoU is therefore canon too!

thank goodness for fanon!!

*goes to re-read PoU again*
*prays that h/hr happens in canon*
*makes sacrifices to the shipping-gods that jkr sees the light of h/hr*

Harry/Hermione forever!!!!

I will probably do any or all of the following:

I will pause for a few brief shocked moments ...

and then be extremely upset ....

and then be depressed for the whole day ....

and then I'll be in a state of denial for one whole week...

and then I'll start writing nasty evil "how-could-you" letters for JK for a whole month, decide against sending it and instead mail a short abrupt "thank-you- for-the-world-of-Harry-Potter-letter" ...

and finally, I will drown myself in loads of post-Hogwarts fics where Harry and Hermione ends up together.

More satisfying would be, buying another copy of the last book, ripping the last pages that implies Harry and Hermione not ending up happily together forever and then pasting the rest of the PoU Series right after a page that says, "A Few Years Later" and then have a good fantastic read!

Seriously, probably like some H/Hr shipper, I'm trying my best not to expect an H/Hr ending. I don't do disappointments well...

Oh, I definitely agree with DVSEzekiel316. I hope to God Harry doesn't end up with anyone other than Hermione. Because that would really really make me... argh! words would not be enough to explain how enraged I would be if Harry ended up with Ginny or Cho! That is just so wrong! It's as bad as Ron ending up with Hermione!

I'm getting physically ill just thinking about it. It's either Hermione or no one for Harry!

If H/Hr doesn't happen in cannon, it would truly truly suck to the power of infinity.

But what can I do?

I can only believe.

And I belive in Harry and Hermione - forever!

LOLs @ purple_mud's solution!

As probably the fandom's most cynical H/Her, I've already pretty much resigned myself to H/H not happening. (Though for a number of reasons, I wouldn't mind being proved wrong!) It's probably why fics like TiP/PL, which take place well after canon and deal with a long-term R/H first are my favorite kind of H/H fics. After OotP, I'm sure I'm going to do a marathon re-read of both those fics.

I'll just shrug it off like I did the romantic subplots in the first Star Wars trilogy. Didn't dislike the bickery firebrand couple ending up together, but just shrugged it off as one small part I didn't care much about among a whole series that I already loved very much about. (Also, over time, I could grow to like the established couples somewhat, as I have with Han/Leia.) JKR is such a talented author, I know I'll love the books regardless of ship. I almost (almost!) don't really care whether H/H doesn't happen. If I'm still a solid supporter, I'll continue to read fanfic, but I'll be accepting of the established canon. As it stands, I'll be very happy if Harry and Hermione's friendship itself just grows stronger and closer, and they end up the friends openly affectionate and appreciative of one another like we see in the films. I'd gladly be an H/H friendshipper.

Throw myself off a cliff crying.

Just kidding! It would probably be easier just to throw myself in front of a bus. Oh gosh, I need therapy.

Right on! Hey, maybe I'll just try and delusion myself into thinking it says something else...

Now there's an idea!

Now, I think I shall excuse myself from such depressing thoughts for the time being...

Naw, I think I deserve that title. I seriously doubt JKR will give us an H/H ending. In fact, I've convinced myself that no H/H will happen at all, that the ending will be (quite horribly) H/R and H/G. The way I see it, by being prepared for the lowest of the low, anything slightly better than that scenario would seem magnificent in comparison.

Dear me... I just thought of the Draco/Hermione possibility... I'm going to be ill.

Whoohoo! Someone else to share the flack received for writing posts that don't often paint a sunny possibility for H/Hr. I know I've got some animosity between me and a few other shippers because of it.

Part of my reasoning is also something like your philosophy - if we expect the worst, when something good happens, we're in that much better a mood!

Which means if H/Hr were to happen, I'd be hopping around this house like a hyper rubber ferret, lol. Far as D/Hr happening goes... at times, I really do think I would prefer that happening, because it would mean R/Hr wouldn't happen either!

i think id feel very very ill. i might even actually get a cold or flu - i can do that to myself, if i think im sick or i think i have a problem, its like my body will actually do that. and ive worked myself up over much smaller things than my favorite coupling in the world not ending up together.

i think id probably go through a period of recuperation - just like after breaking up with someone or getting rejected - lots of ice cream, good movies and a big old teddy bear for company.

i guess id still read the books, but i definetely wouldnt enjoy them, and it would feel strange and wooden. i also think that i would for sure lose a lot of respect for JKR, because i never ever saw enough r/hr chemistry for that to happen, and thus she wouldnt be as good of an author if she just went for that "obvious" of a course.

but thats just my bit.

FOR THE LOVE OF ALL THAT IS HOLY DON'T GO THERE!

Sorry, I had to get that out.

We should start a club for all the pessimists and cynics. We could depress ourselves all day long, and provide comfort when the weight of non-H/H ending thoughts become too much.

And I will definitely throw a party if JKR does give us H/H. It'll be an H/H-themed party!

In the unlikely event of a non-H/H ending, I wouldn't be discouraged, or angry at JKR. Just a bit sad that I didn't get to see canon H/H. Then I'd just go and read PoU (a.k.a. my H/H Bible) over and over again.

i am a brat .i like things to go my way so i whould most likely trash the book if i even got a little clue that hermione and harry was not a option.

one more thing said in a fic by ryoko blue .


red clashes bad with brown.

i know its a different reason then some but its true, honestly can you see a red head standing next to a brown.I think blond and red is better.

I'd be extremely disappointed if H/Hr don't get together by the end of the books.
But I'd get over it by reading PoU over and over again

I'll be vilably pissed off with the JKR but I'll still read it, I still watched Digimon when they put Matt with Sora and DT when they put Rika with Ryo (DONT GET ME STARTED) but I'll still read the books....

That would be the end of my signature... No more CLUTCHING AT STRAWS!

I'll kill me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'll build an incredibly complex and detailed device which allows me to enter the book universe of my choosing and give Hermione a solid thwap to the back of the head.

I'm in total agreement with that one And maybe while you're at it you can give Harry one too?

I have lived through the disillusion that comes with a ship not coming to pass - Max and Alec in Dark Angel being the most recent - and it seems that the best way to bounce back is the way of denial

FANFIC! FANFIC! FANFIC!

Honestly, in the event of a non relationship between Harry and Hermione, there is little to be done - mass suicide is not really an option as there is always room for a sequel further along the line, no matter what the author says - but to take advantage of the overwhelming amount of H/Hr fanfic there is out there. That's the wonder of fandom: anything is possible, no matter what the odds.

I dont know what would I do but We have a lot of FF and they are really good But I dont lost hope
H&H&H&H&H&H&H&H&H&H&H

I'll curl up into a fetal position and be unreachable for about a week. Then I'll return to the living world, but deny the lack of H/Hr on all fronts. There will always be pumpkin pie in my mind. Always!

And about a month later, the nice young men in those white coats will take me away ..

As HermiPotter says, thankfully, we have loads of FF, Pumpkinpie et al., so we could still stick with those and ignore the cruel world outside. After all, if there can be so-called AU-fics where Hermione is DRACO'S twin sister or mad things like that, why shouldn't we just create our own cosy little AU?
And thankfully, we'll only REALLY KNOW after book 7

Yuan, that last bit of your post was funny, just tought I'd say that.

If H/Hr didn't happen I'd probably be very angry and very upset (as in sad), for a while. Maybe even stop reading the books for a little while. (a little) I guess I'd be dissapointed, too. But, I would eventually get over it and coninue reading the books. As long as J.K. Rowling still writes like she is now, and keeps me interested with other things, I'll be happy.

since when?

I'd be sorely dissappointed, as well as ALL H/Hr'ers for that matter. I'll get over it, but it'll take me awhile to come around.

Frankly, I'm not worried about H/Hr happening in canon *hits self repeatedly* I just worry about some immature R/Hr'ers( I'm not generalizing...I'm just saying that there are some out there, including some H/Hr'ers ) that could rub it in our faces and flame our sites.

But, back to the topic...I would be saddened beyond belief. But, who says they couldn't get together after Hogwarts. Of course, there is always fanfiction, which certainly cures the heartbroken H/Hr'ers!

ohh dear god. i don't want to even think about this, but i will, for the sake of facing reality...

i would first finish reading the book. then i would put the book on my shelf next to books 1,2,3,4,5,& 6. CALMLY.

i would go outside...walking...then i would scream--loudly.

i would go inside and curl up on my bed and cry. then after my eyes got dry, i would ORDER my mother (if i am still living with her at the time...im GONE in a few years) to bring me some homemade pumpkin pie. a LOT of it. then i would get my laptop (assuming i have on of course) and curl up on my bed with my pumpkin pie (with whipped cream, of cousre) and read fanfiction.

simple as pumpkin pie.

i wont be mad at JKR. i respect her decision, and their her characters, she can do whatever she wants with them, and make it official.

but i will be fairly disapointed. she set-up the whole H/Hr romance. and she would have failed.

of course, i am hoping that i wont have to do this. ever.

through thick and thin, i will always be a pumpkin pie-er.

LONG LIVE PUMPKIN PIE!!!

I'd be pretty mad I would still read the books though...

XOXOX LG

I think I could handle it but I might get pretty mad at JKR.

I'd be disappointed, obviously. I can see that H/Hr could happen if JKR wanted it to. She's a tricky one, she is, so anything she says could be taken any way. But if it doesn't happen in canon? I'd still go on shipping H/Hr anyway. I've done it with television show ships, movie ships...etc.

This is part of the reason why being part of a fandom is so great. You have fanfiction writers, fanartists..etc who will still most likely ship whoever they were shipping before and continue to create these things. I'll just read fiction. I'll just keep creating fanart and looking at other people's fanart as well.

It's all good, even if it doesn't happen in canon.

Spoken like a true fanatic, Angel. Still, given the horrendous chemistry Ron and Hermione have, the only other person I can see Rowling pairing Hermione with would be Krum, although it'd be terribly obtuse. I mean, Krum doesn't even live in the same country she does, after all...

I'd probably shut myself away in a dark room for a year and cry and sob hysterically. I am praying for JK to have H/Hr together at the end, and if not... well, we still have loads of wonderful fics written by you lovely people, so we can just sit back and reminisce on what might have been...

Undomiel*

What if the trio stayed platonic?

Hi everyone!!! I wanted to tell you about something I've been thinking.... Please don't kill me... *ducks flying pumpkin pies thrown at her*

Okay. I love H/Hr, really. It's just that... lately I've been wondering, how would JKR write H/Hr romance? And it ocurred to me... that I can't picture it! I felt terrible. I thought, how about R/Hr? And I realized, I can't picture that either! So as much as I love H/Hr, I can't seem to imagine JKR writing either Ron, Harry or Hermione in that way. I want her to, but it would seem so OOC to me. Do you ever wonder about this? What if the trio stayed platonic?
I'm confused....

dreamcatcher

PS: Please don't kill me

i've felt the same as u, as much as i want h/hr i cant picture it, but i CAN see it a little better than i could see hr/r.......... i would LOVE for h/hr to happen............ hmmm if they stayed platonic, well then i suspose all this shipping will have been useless, and it would never end, except then we'd be fighting over who would've looked best with who...i really would rather them to stay platonic rather than seeing hr/r

It's true, as they are, it is kinda hard to see the three of them ever involve themselves into anything that would be considered too mushy. Though the thing you have to take into consideration is the fact that they are maturing throughout the series. As a person matures, his or her personality will alter. They will be sixteen years old...now that doesn't seem like that big a difference from being fifteen...but in terms of a personality and emotions, things can seriously change.

You can use Harry as example when it comes to Cho Chang. Harry's crush on Cho Chang doesn't just flare during the third year...it was something that steadily grew during his third and fourth year. I don't have PoA in front of me, but I do believe that when Harry first saw Cho, he had wierd feelings that he couldn't explain...or something like that. Though by he next year, this feeling grew into something more.

Now, I know that J.K. Rowling isn't going to do something that will cause Harry, Hermione, and Ron's characters to turn a complete 180, but I will gurantee that they will change...actually a better word would be grow. That is why fanfiction can run rampart in terms of how Harry, Hermione, and Ron will act, especially after OotP. You never know exactly how the three will act as they grow older.

I have a lot of random predictions of how the romance will fall when it comes to the 6th book. I though highly doubt that J.K. Rowling is going to turn it into a snog-fest (aw shucks ). All the romance scenes will probably be a bunch of teasers that would lead up to Harry and Hermione *crossing my fingers* sharing a gentle kiss. You know...like the first of many kisses. That is something I don't feel would be out of character. It's not like they're just going to jump into bed together...it's more like one of those "I like you" and "I like you too" kind of scenes. Something really innocent and something really cute.

Though then again, I've no clue. Predictions will stay as predictions until the 6th book comes out. Hehe...sorry if my post didn't make all that much sense...I was kinda rambling...and I'm tired...and I'm also doing several other things at the moment. But, I hope was able to somewhat get my point across.

ive often wondered about that myself, her doing that just to make all of us feel like idiots with all this shipping over a what, 7-10 year period? granted id rather the trio stay platonic then r/hr get together, would be sorta funny imo in a weird way

Hey! I've felt that way too, but I heard that JK herself said that characters were growing, and that to Harry a good snogging session would help him so, let's just hope that she chooses Herm for those sessions
