I just don't care much for the way it actually 'happened' in the books.
I wish it would have started in book 5 actually, just with Harry noticing her more. I didn't really mind how it happened, mainly because it wasn't a romance based series. There was so much going on that I didn't really care about shipping back then. lol I actually wish Bryke had done something similar with Aang, having him focus more on learning the elements than impressing Katara. (I was so annoyed that he had this kind of big deal job to do and he seemed more focused on Katara all the time. Unappealing. I think if Harry had been like that in book 1 or 2 I wouldn't like him as much as I do.)
it just made sense to me that perhaps they would be better together than the couples I was rooting for previously.
I do think Harry would be better for Hermione than Ron in that sense, but I just don't think they'd ever work because there's no fun between them (without Ron) and no romantic attraction. Harry's association with fun and laughter is typically with the Weasley's and I just can't imagine him with a girl who he didn't share that with.
Hermione on the other hand I can't imagine with anyone who wasn't ambitious--Ron is as lazy as it gets lmao--or as passionate about things like she is. I think Ron would want Hermione to be like his mom because really, he doesn't know any different, and we know Hermione isn't that type at all. I could see the clashing a lot over work. Plus Ron would not want to fiend for himself...imagine him cooking his own meals or doing his own laundry..le gasp! lol
That's why I like Hermione and Ron with other people in fanfiction. I just always felt like they'd match better with someone else.
