OK, I don't know where this would go, but I was reading a topic (I think it was like 300 Reasons Why H/Hr is a Good Couple) and a reoccurring reason was that Harry notices that Hermione has a usual chair in CoS.

I have the English copy of CoS, and all I can find is:
QUOTE
Ron read the message, swallowed hard and looked sideways at the empty seat usually filled by Hermione.


So... can anyone tell me where (if he does) Harry notices Hermione's chair?

i can't remember which book but i know there's a scene that says...Harry sat beside Hermione's usual chair...i just can't remember which book...i think it was GoF

I'm pretty sure I remember it saying that she had a usual chair. I think it's in GoF too, but I can't remember exactly where either. So useful aren't I?

It was in COS, not GOF when Hermione was petrified that Ginny was sitting in Hermione's usual chair.

This is another thing I like about Portkey. People here do great analysis of canon H/H clues! thumbup.gif

Falcon - I posed the same question to Nielle (aka Anazecria). She gave this detailed answer. You're right, it's from the "H/Hr reasons" thread.
Anazecria
Aww, Pen, it's nice to be remembered. smile.gif Yep, for those too lazy to follow Pen's link, here's what I said in that post:

CoS, Chapter 15, Aragog, pg 201, UK Paperback:
    "Fred and George challenged Harry and Ron to a few games of Exploding Snap and Ginny sat watching them, very subdued in Hermione's usual chair."


This is one of my favourite moments.
1) Hermione HAS a usual chair.
2) Harry KNOWS Hermione has a usual chair.
3) Ginny is sitting in it and Harry NOTICED.
4) At this point Hermione has been petrified and Harry and Ron are waiting for the room to clear so they can "follow the spiders". So Harry's got a lot on his mind at the moment and he still notices all this. sorcerer.gif
5) Subconsciously, Ginny cannot take Hermione's place in Harry's eyes. (this is purely my Shippy talking here tongue.gif)

As I said, it's one of my favourite moments, as so much is said in just one simple sentence. thumbsup.gif But if there's a scene in GoF where it's mentioned again, I'd love to hear about it. smile.gif

Exactly. If Ginny takes "Hermione's usual chair" with Harry. He would still feel alone and scared.How cute...

Oh, and Harry_n_Hermione_4ever, is you avitar a manipulated picture or is that real?
dreamin_athena
Now I just feel stupid. Did it mention the usual chair in GoF too or anything? I though I remembered it in one of the more recent books...hmmm, maybe I read that post, but...whatever...

I definitely think it's very sweet for Harry to have noticed that Ginny was in Hermione's usual chair. It seemed that she was very comfortable in it

and to me there's a certain uncomfortableness about the fact that Ginny's there, especially while Hermione is petrified. It's kind of like Ginny just doesn't belong there.

Thanks! I got so scared the Ron was noticing it and the HMS Pumpkin Pie would be down one warm fuzzy moment. But no! You guys found it for me!

Thanks!

It IS cute, isn't it?

The fact alone that Hermione has a usual chair and Harry knows it is cute.

I might be a little biased, since Ginny is my favorite character, but I guess Harry was probably a little incensed that Ron's little sister was getting all cozy in Hermione's chair.

If the person *I* loved were petrified, I would not want to see someone else sitting in their chair.

so true..... I mean how can you ever feel comfortable having someone take the place of your significant other *clears throat* I mean your female best friend......
