Aurors & Equals {H♥Hr}: "It has to be me." "I'm afraid you're right, my old friend." {always there for each other}


a u r o r s

Irving Berlin said it best:
"There may be trouble ahead,
but while there's music and
moonlight and love and romance,
let's face the music and dance."


That was written in 1936, during the Great Depression and a short while before the world was engulfed in a terrifying war.

There is an intentional evocation of World War II in "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows": refugees, heads hunched over the wireless for a spot of news, a forearm with "mudblood" carved on it a bloody tattoo. And in the midst of this terrible darkness there is a tiny, memorable moment of lightness, offered up in a tent which has itself come to remind us of internments and refugees.


Harry and Hermione dance. There's rich tradition of this sort of thing (people grabbing an improbable breath of happiness amid suffocating darkness, in life and in fiction). It's the scene from this movie people will remember, perhaps because it's so desperately needed by the time it comes.

The dance does not come from the book, and it opens up an interesting little can of worms. There's a little hint of the Forbidden Amish Jitterbug scene in "Witness," and the dance goes on for quite a while, until we are clearly invited to ask ourselves what we think is happening. Does it represent the never-to-be-spoken-of-again acknowledgement between two attractive young people that, although their hearts and destinies lie elsewhere, they are not immune to one another's charms? Or is it the kind of thing two very good friends can do because each knows the other has absolutely no interest in benefits? Or, when death is tapping at your window day and night, do you love the one you're with?

I'm sure we are not meant to know the answer. And that the answer each person picks is a revelaton about that person.

"Three words... Barry and 'Ermine."

Caroline Rhea
"No! No! No! It's (Harry) and Hermione!"

Regis And Kelly
"How about that cute little girl that plays Hermione Granger?"
"What about her, eh?"
"Huh, Daniel? Come clean, let's hear it. You'd like to put the cloak on her too, I bet, huh?"


Rita Skeeter
"Harry has at last found love at Hogwarts. His close friend, Colin Creevey, says that Harry is rarely seen out
of the company of one Hermione Granger, a stunningly pretty Muggle-born girl who, like Harry, is one of the
top students at school."


Viktor Krum
"I vant to know vot there is between you and Hermy-ownninny... Hermy-ownninny talks about you
very often."


Cho Chang
"Oh, you'll talk to Hermione Granger! But you won't talk to me! P-perhaps it would be best if we just...
just p-paid and you went and met up with Hermione G-Granger, like you obviously want to!"


David Yates
"It's very difficult to find a favorite scene, but something we just did as part of the movie truly is priceless.
It's a scene where Hermione and Harry dance together and is not in the book - it's something we created
for the film and is actually very tender, very nice and respectful, and they also reveal some secrets
about each other while dancing."


Steve Kloves
"In fact, I will say this, Steve Kloves who has been the script writer [on the Potter films], who is
enormously insightful on the series and a very good friend, after he read book seven he said to me,
'You know, I thought something was going to happen between Harry and Hermione.'"


David Heyman
"[Jo] loved, for example, the scene in this film where Harry and Hermione dance. You know?
And some fans will like it, some won't, but actually Jo loved it, because... In a way,
you know, there's a part of you that thinks Harry and Hermione should have been together,
even though they weren't. And also, it's a scene without dialogue that really says so much."


James Lipton
"The series crosses the threshold of puberty. Were you surprised at how the pairings were sorted out?
I always thought that Harry and Hermione would wind up together.

Someone started a thread on Reddit that truly baffled me. The person said:

Harry consistently argues with Hermione, disagrees with Hermione and disregards her opinions. If she wanted to marry someone who argued with her in marriage then she would have married Harry. They would have argued and disagreed about everything.

What? They argue a lot? Did we even read the same books?

I don't think ANYONE can't deny that Harry and Hermione actually rarely fight, not even hardcore canon supporters who loathe the thought of H/Hr together.

The only real argument between them that I remember in the whole series, that is 7 YEARS for them, are on just 2 occasions.

When BOTH Harry and Ron stopped talking to her in PoA because of the Firebolt in the 3rd book - and it was actually Harry who tried to convince Ron they should stop being angry at Hermione.

And a second time is in HBP because of the Half Blood prince book but they resolved that rather quickly, with later having fun about love affair between Fitch and Madame Pince

Besides, disagreeing is definitely not the same as actually fighting about something.
So what if they disagreed at times, that is not a big deal. Hermione and Ron also disregarded his opinion on Draco and it turned out he was right. I think it is actually healthy they do that, it would be pointless to have someone close to you who says yes to you and agrees with you about everything.

That Reddit person needs to make a reread or rewatch I think. I mean sure, all couples argue once in a while and of course H/Hr would too if they had ended up together. But not all the time and certainly not as often as this person say.

Whats worse, he/she is certain that is evident from the books. I truly can't remember any other fight they had except those 2 examples I gave. The posts I see every once in a while are just ridiculous.

Seriously, why do all the arguments against HHr on reddit pretty hilarious?

Right? I mean, it is perfectly fine if you don't like them but I seriously haven't seen 1 valid argument against them. Incest, they would bore each other to death, Harry doesn't care for her, they would argue... All those examples are so easy to prove they are wrong.

Oh, and one more - that they don't spend time alone. When did they actually have the time to be alone? Then people love to argue back during GOF and DH. But that is not a great example as those times are, when Harry is hurt by falling out with Ron and when they are even more deeply hurt by Ron leaving them.

I think Harry's lack of action in that moment in DH is because he was hurt and very afraid Hermione would leave him in the end just like Ron did, he felt guilty that Ron left. Because in the book it is written how Harry felt he should help Hermione but for some reason he couldn't move. Then next morning he heard Ron's voice of criticism inside his head and in the next few days he looked in panic for a sign that Hermione was fed up.

I think it is pretty clear that is why Harry acted the way he did, it is not because he didn't care enough for Hermione.

EDIT: Here are those examples from the book:

He could hear Ron saying, “We thought you knew what you were doing!”, and he resumed packing with a hard knot in the pit of his stomach.

Hermione dropped Harry's hand and walked away from him, finally sitting down on a large rock, her face on her knees, shaking with what he knew were sobs. He watched her, supposing that he ought to go and comfort her, but something kept him rooted to the spot. Everything inside him felt cold and tight: Again he saw the contemptuous expression on Ron's face.

They did not discuss Ron at all over the next few days. Harry was determined never to mention his name again and Hermione seemed to know that it was no use forcing the issue.

He could not hide it from himself: Ron had been right. Dumbledore had left him with virtually nothing. They had discovered one Horcrux, but they had no means of destroying it: The others were as unattainable as they had ever been. Hopelessness threatened to engulf him. He was staggered now to think of his own presumption in accepting his friends' offers to accompany him on this meandering, pointless journey. he knew nothing, he had no ideas, and he was constantly, painfully on the alert for any indications that Hermione too was about to tell him that she had had enough. That she was leaving

All those things are the exact opposite of what H/Hr's relationship is like.

Maybe these reddit users are looking for some discussion against HHr but really, it's all weak. Just as you already evidenced from the books, zeze, it doesn't seem to me that Harry & Hermione argue all the time. In fact they support each other's decisions a lot and has always had each other's back.

Yes, I mean, the only time that there was a lot of tension between them was in HBP. It was mostly because of Draco and HBP book. Harry was mad that she and Ron didn't believe him and Hermione was so jealous he aced at potions by cheating.

But you know, a lot of people love to point out she was wrong for attacking him after Harry Sectumsempra Draco, that she did it only to prove she was right all along.

She may have been gloating a bit while doing it - although we don't know that for sure, it certainly wasn't described in the lines like "she said snidely", "she said smugly" or anything like that - but her intentions weren't cruel, she just tried to get through him - Draco seriously could have died, Harry used a spell that he didn't know which is very irresponsible. Did Hermione get a bit overboard? Yes, just like she does many times - SPEW anyone?

BUT at the end of the day Harry did deserve it since she told him many times that it could be dangerous and yet Harry brushed it off every time. Heck, even after all that, he intended to still use the book. Harry deserved to have a wake up call. I also don't think she was out of line for merely mentioning Quidditch. So what if she doesn't like it, she knows how much Harry loves it. I think Ginny was out of line with "Oh, don’t start acting as though you understand Quidditch, you’ll only embarrass yourself.”

I'm glad that Hermione was always there to call on his mistakes, even when she was worried that he would blow up at her. Another example was when she tried to persuade him not to rush into saving Sirius.

Even the tension in HBP is expected. They are friends and they're allowed to quarrel once in a while.

Yes Draco could have died and Harry shouldn't be using spells that he's not sure of the outcome. But at that point, Harry was not thinking straight. It was very risky and I'm glad the incident happened in Hogwarts where a teacher can easily check, in this case Snape.

And yes, I like that about Hermione. While she did support Harry most of the time, she's not afraid to call out on him even if it's not what Harry would like to hear.

Finally I found a potentially good post Cursed Child H/Hr fic:


https://m.fanfiction.net/s/12155220/...armony-Combine

I like the author's concept:

"this will be quite the long journey! The REAL story will begin AFTER The Cursed Child. However, a lot happens between the end of the war and then, and so each chapter will cover a year of Harry's life, plus his friends and family. Sometimes, Harry himself won't even be the main focus of the chapter, as the Weasleys, Neville, Luna, Hermione and others also have their own lives.

There'll be LGBT plots on this story. There'll be character death. There'll be divorces. I love all the characters and I want to explore their personal growth, but sometimes they'll be in a bad moment in their lives and they'll lash out. That doesn't mean they'll always be like that - it just means they have stuff to figure out. No bashing, promise.

As for ships: Harry/Hermione, Draco/Ginny, Ron/Luna. They'll only happen waaayyy later in the story, though. Until we reach 2020, everything is as canon as possible. So buckle up!"

And I'm glad there still people who think Ron and Luna would be a good pairing - there were definitely a few moments between them in the books - Luna was very interested in him and Ron was actually very fond of her by the end - that is why I never liked a theory that he would be all alone if he hadn't hooked up with Hermione, that is a weak argument for R/Hr.

Yes it is, the 4th chapter was just posted a few hours ago. I hope the author keeps at it, it seems he/she will based on that note. I am very interested what will happen after Cursed Child.


I think H/Hr have an interesting set up - they work together closely, they are comfortable around each other. I read one article on the play and the author said they are work married it made me laugh but he/she is right. I am not going in how canon ships would break up, I'm just talking about how H/Hr could get together of course.
