“It’s very embarrassing. It’s a compliment, but the word is just embarrassing. A kiss scene is like the flower of the drama, and I don’t think there’s a specific concept of doing it well. However, in order for that flower to grow, there needs to be a [good] description, and I think I was able to make it because it was beautifully drawn.” - Seo In Guk

I ship Hinny, Jily and Romione but for different reasons.

Jily

It is the ship that is present everywhere. Boy meets girl. Girl meets boy. Boy likes girl. Girl hates boy’s guts. Boy and girl fighting, you know, flirting. Boy improves. Girl notices. They fall in love. Honestly I think this trope is overused at this point. But the reason why I like Jily is not because of the cliche. I like it because of the mystery. Rowling sets up two versions of James and Lily: one as Hogwarts students and two as parents. But she doesn’t link them. That’s what interests me. We know more about Snape and Lily than Jily. A thousand questions come to my mind. How did they get together? What happened? Why were their patronuses complementary? The thing is, we’ll never know (unless we finally get the prequel).

Romione

Rowling does love her cliches! And so do we. Romione is one of the best developed ships. We see them becoming friends, liking each other and finally falling in love. It really pisses me off how Rowling dissed her own creation as if it was nothing. It was not nothing. Ron and Hermione are a testament to opposites attract and best friend love. Ron is everything Hermione’s not and still they work. I agree that there are numerous issues between them- Ron’s insecurity, Hermione’s lack of empathy- but throughout the series both of them help each other overcome these. Ron becomes comfortable in his own skin and Hermione learns to process her emotions in a healthy way. And their fights are so relatable? I’ve seen people criticize either Ron or Hermione for behaving harshly when they dated others. But I don’t. Because I get it; I know that baseless anger, hurt and jealousy which threatens to consume you when you like someone. Love is not logical and this ship shows it perfectly.

Hinny

 This is my OTP. Harry and Ginny captured my heart the moment I read about them. Individually these two are great characters but together? Gosh I love them. One of the reasons why this ship captured my heart is its simplicity. A girl falls in love with her brother’s best friend but the boy in turn is oblivious. The moment she gathers up the courage to be her true self does he not only notice her but immediately falls in love with her. Harry has a very tumultuous life and Ginny’s gentleness yet confidence attracts him. A very ignored point is how much mature and healthy their relationship is. I got a little fed up with all of Ron and Hermione’s antics sometimes to be honest in the books but with Harry and Ginny the only complaint is that not much of their development is shown. Harry’s narrative sounds like an ode of love and passion to his beloved and his constant thoughts about Ginny is not only a source of amusement but also of dramatic sighs. Because this is a boy who has never reached out to anyone by himself, who believes himself to be a weapon to be used and discarded. And he has the courage to give his heart. I can wax poetry after poetry about this ship and frankly, they deserve it.

Underrated friendships in HP: Parvati Patil and Dean Thomas

  • The two of them calling professors on their bullshit together, a tradition they start with Binns with accurate theories about the Chamber (and continue in Umbridge’s first lesson):

‘“If a long succession of Hogwarts headmasters and headmistresses haven’t found the thing -” 
“But, Professor,” piped up Parvati Patil, “you’d probably have to use Dark Magic to open it -”
“Just because a wizard doesn’t use Dark Magic doesn’t mean he can’t, Miss Pennyfeather,” snapped Professor Binns. “I repeat, if the likes of Dumbledore -” 
“But maybe you’ve got to be related to Slytherin, so Dumbledore couldn’t -” began Dean Thomas, but Professor Binns had had enough.’ (COS9)

  • Dean thinking that Parvati and her sister are the most beautiful of all their peers: ‘“I still can’t work out how you two got the best-looking girls in the year,” muttered Dean.’ (GOF23)
  • Parvati diverting the attention of the Divination class when Dean makes an ass of himself with Firenze:

‘“Did Hagrid breed you, like the thestrals?” asked Dean eagerly.
Firenze turned his head very slowly to face Dean, who seemed to realize at once that he had said something very offensive. 
“I didn’t — I meant — sorry,” he finished in a hushed voice.
“Centaurs are not the servants or playthings of humans,” said Firenze quietly. There was a pause, then Parvati raised her hand again. 
“Please, sir … why have the other centaurs banished you?”’ (OOTP27)

  • Them protecting each other during the Battle of Hogwarts: ‘Dean made the most of the Death Eater’s momentary distraction, knocking him out with a stunning Spell; Dolohov attempted to retaliate, and Parvati shot a Body Bind Curse at him.’ (DH32)
  • They may not have been each other’s best friends but they were an amazing tag team on top of being the two Gryffindors in Harry’s year to explicitly be people of colour what a beautiful friendship

I think I might ship Dean and Parvati now
