DraMione are my ultimate ship.. Maybe because the 'asshole bad boy falling for the feisty good girl'is my kind of story... I think I shipped them more after the movies came out and Tom Felton played Draco... There is a certain "chemistry" I saw in FelSon that I failed to sense in between Emma and Rupert. Don't know, they gave a more buddy-buddy feel more than romantic partners... Regardless, as you've mentioned, there was never proper build-up for Ron and Hermione... I don't know, the way they set up Hermione and Draco's equation of how he would always call her a mud-blood and him being the 'pure-blood', the contrast always had me rooting for them... Also, one being in Slytherin and the other being in Gryfindor, I love these "forbidden romance" sort of stories...
About the Marauder's, I felt that there wasn't much on them and there was so much unsaid... I always wished that Ms.Rowling would comeup with some sort of prequel to this... I loved their friendship and I wanted more elaboration on that front...And JiLy- As I said before, good girl-bad girl pairings are my kind of thing... Again, I wanted more on the Marauder's... But I guess Ms.Rowling has shifted away from her HP phase...
RES
DraMione...OMG!!!I'll edit tomorrow,kay?EDITEDSo I'm a HUUUGGEE Potterhead and JKR features in my all-time favourite writers. Our parents scoff at HP saying it's just children's fantasy but those who've read it know that how wrong that kind of labelling is. HP is so much more than just another fairytale and the amount of detail, complexity, insight, layers that this lady put in is astounding. W.O.R.D! HP is sooo much more than a fantasy tale! The magical world was just a plot, the crux of the story was based on relationships, breaking convictions and prejudices, using the Ministry of Magic, Mudblood vs Pureblood wars, enslavement of house elves as metaphors for the real world problems!Having said that, for an obsessed fan like me, I have a bone to pick with her because of her portrayal of romantic relationships and of course that dratted epilogue which most often than not, I try to pretend, doesn't exist. I second you on that. 😆I could never really connect to Ron-Hermione and pairing those two together because of their supposed "attraction"for one another in their constant bickering over silly issues seemed a bit too juvenile and random. Ron and Hermione never really matched that certain wavelength and as a couple never clicked. On the other hand, Draco and Hermione had a certain "chemistry". Draco was everything Hermione wasn't and yet they are known to be both intelligent and resourceful. Draco wasn't "bad"as he had been portrayed, his prejudice resulted from years of conditioning and if he really was evil, he wouldn't have helped them at the manor or at the end. Having Draco and Hermione pair up would have bee a great move and especially added another dimension to the whole house-rivalry conflict. Also JKR had said once that Draco always had a crush on Hermione which escalated after the yule ball and him lashing out at her and picking on her was a result of his frustration. I find this more credible than the whole Ron-Hermione romance coz clearly I didn't find any connect or a reason behind Ron always targeting Hermione. I felt Ron was too childish, too immature and too driven by his self-pity and misdirected jealousy to be a suitable partner for her.+100000 And hang on...DID JKR REALLY SAID THAT DRACO ALWAYS HAD A "CRUSH" ON HERMIONE???? 😲 😲 😲 😲 😲 Then what made her pair Ron with Hermione?? 😡 *Epic pairing PHAIIILLL*I've always found Draco's special preference for Hermione intriguing. Hermione was never that invested in Draco, though. Remember how he said that he wanted Hermione dead in his second year? Well...back then it was mostly jealousy doing the talking as she was a topper in her year and he got hell from his father for that but somehow, after the slap, things changed b/w them (or so I think 😆). Also, he was particularly vindictive towards Ron as I'm sure he used to get pissed every time Hermione would come forward to save his ass!And no offence to Ron's fans but he was the most pathetic character in the entire series! Worse than Percy, even! I had to endure Umbridge's self-righteousness for one book but Ron was there from start to finish! 🤢 I was turned off by him the moment I read about what he saw in the Mirror of Erised! Hell, he didn't even support his "best friend" when he needed him the most only because he was "jealous" and walked out on them again when the conditions didn't favour him...I'll NEVER forgive him for that! 😡 😡Also his pick for "Deathly Hallows"...again showed how shallow he is. Always hungry for power! 👎🏼And sure the movies didn't help, especially in my case where my foray into this world came simultaneously through the books and the movies so much so, that I have always picturised Dan as Harry, Em as Hermione n Tom as Emma had zilch chemistry and heck, Dan had more chemistry with Emma and while watching the 2 of them dancing, I desperately was waiting for something to happen..😆Well, I found Em and Tom quite hot in all the limited no. of scenes they've appeared together. 😆As for James and Lily, I'm still waiting for that promised book on the Maruaders.We don't really know much about them but I do think that Lily always considered Snape as a friend and never did realize that he had any feelings for her bt in the case of James, there was an inherent attraction but her good- sense didnt allow her to explore their relationship until the 7th year where as the heads they spent ample time together and made her look beyond the arrogance, the snobbishness and the flamboyance to see the genuine goodness in him. There was always an attraction but working in close quarters transformed that liking/crush to something deeper and meaningful in her case.Deviating from their love story, I've always found people hero-worshiping Snape really weird. 😕 Snape was neither a hero nor a "Dark knight". He was brave, yes, he had some goodness inside him, yes but that was about it! He wasn't a good teacher to begin with nor a very good human being TBH. He bullied Neville as if he's murdered his parents JUST because he wasn't the "chosen one" or in simple words, just because Voldemort didn't choose to kill Neville's mother and went on to kill Lily instead...I mean HOW PATHETIC IS THAT??? 🤢 🤢

RESLOTS TO SAY. WILL SAY TOMORROW IT'S MIDNIGHT.-edit-To give context.. I've loved JiLy since I was 11 years old. That's a long time and their allure never lessened. It's just here we have a boy, who's spoiled and arrogant, qualities Lily rightfully hated. There were always qualities James had that Lily liked. Like his loyalty and friendship which were overshadowed by his pompous attitude (no doubt fueled by Snape) But when the war raged he grew up. His pompous side mellowed. His good qualities shined.He was brought up in a pure blood household, although many FF writers choose to make his parents tolerant towards muggles and muggleborns, it could have been either way. They were purebloods going way back after all. In any case James chose Lily knowing it directly put him on Voldemorts target list... the purest of pure bloods marrying a muggleborn. Imagine the implications it had. The statement it made.Bless James, he made a choice. He made a choice to protect Lily. To stand by her. To fight for whats right. Something Snape never did. And it's our choices that make us what we are, far more than our abilities.In a span of two maybe three years? James and Lily were pulled from a world of comfort to that of war. The argument that people love giving is that Lily and James would never have fallen in love if it wasn't for the war. But the war did happen. In the toughest of times their love shone. When they had to choose, the chose to fight, with each other.
