What people don't get is that Innuendo is PG-13 even with all the bamboo,wand, and broomstick talks. It's your mind that converts it to the R-rating.

Exactly right...for example, your average five year old wouldn't get all this talk about wands and broomsticks and rides.

I'm not quite sure, but I think so. I'll keep talking to her about it to make sure, but at least I know I can dive into H/Hr sappiness with my other friend

Hey, cool. This is my 100th post

Congrats on your 100th post, Jennifer!
Anyway do you have more H/Hr non believer friends?

Merci, merci. I don't think I'm going to catch up to you anytime soon, Sandra.
As for any non-believers, let's see...my sister, who saw the hug scene in the CoS movie and thought it was cute *gag*, a neutral friend who wound up being my beta reader for my fanfic, and...I'm not quite sure about my mom. She doesn't mention much about HP, although I talk about it constantly. She's currently reading GoF, so I'll ask her at the end of the book because I'm re-reading OotP. But she's really weird and doesn't ship. Anything. Really. When I talked about shipping she thought I was talking about mailing something, as in "shipping and handling"

Lol...shipping and handling, that's good. My dad thinks it's going to be R/Hr and so does my brother. I am a loner...my only other friend that reads HP (Amanda) is an OHBWF shipper. I am all alone....

Aww, poor Jack. I send my sympathies, because I used to feel the same way. First it was that no one else like HP, then it was that no one else was a H/Hr shipper. But spending time here makes up for all of those lonely feelings.
jackryan411
Oct 19 2003, 01:15 PM
Yeah, that's why I spend so much time on here. It's great talking to fellow H/Hr shippers. Well, at least you found some fellow H/Hr shippers!

I am alone in my HP obsession and shipping. They all think I am insane! Pshaw! I am sane, I repeat sane!

Uh-huh Sandra...yeah, my family likes HP, it's just that they don't ship the true ship. Oh well, I'll enjoy gloating on the day of Book 7.

Yep, I'm happy I found some H/Hr shippers. Now I know what I'll talk to my other friend when we're in French together.
You know, this is getting confusing. Hmm, I think I'm going to start calling my friend that I originally wanted to convert Sensible and my other friend who I just recently found out ships H/Hr Flirt. Will that work for you guys?
jackryan411
Oct 19 2003, 01:30 PM
All right! That works...I bet it'd get confusing after a while. At any rate, I bet you'll have fun during French. You should show her this site.

Alot of my friends have read HP, and most of them are casual R/Hr shippers. Never met a lunatic fan like myself in RL yet. Once I get going arguing HP couples with my RL friends, they back off immediately and go, "Okay, okay, Harry and Hermione will get together, you win". Apparently I become intimidating when I argue.
My mom and sister are still convinced that it'll be R/Hr, though. Neither of them have read OotP yet, so I may yet be able to convert them. *evil laugh*

Heck, I yelled out Friday night as we were preparing to leave for a football game that both Sensible and Flirt need to come here. I was telling them all about this place. I even told them that they don't have to ship to come here because we have a general HP discussion board too. I think I'll just paint a sign that says "Portkey Rocks!" and stick it on my forehead. Maybe that'll get their attention.
jackryan411
Oct 19 2003, 01:45 PM
Hmm...OotP might change their mind. But you should really try to get them on here...this is a great place. That forehead thing might work.
Hermione's Twin
Oct 19 2003, 03:27 PM
That, or I'll talk their ears off until they tell me to shut up. Say...Sensible's birthday's tomorrow and she's having a party...
jackryan411
Oct 19 2003, 03:37 PM
Talk their ears off! Tomorrow's a great time to try and convince Sensible. More H/Hr shippers is always a good thing!
Hermione's Twin
Oct 20 2003, 06:57 AM
Hehe...Before Sensible's party, I'm spending time with her, Flirt, and some other non-shipping HP fans. Plenty of time there

, but where do you guys get your avatars? I'm in need of a new one.

I'm being lazy and only reading the last few posts, so, yeah, more H/Hr shippers is a very good thing! And talk her ear off! Yeah!
By the way, my boring my family to death on the plane while I went on vacation didn't work!
They were interested, and if they're interested, it's no fun!

Hmmm...I think the strongest points you can make are definitely in the PA forum, as we've said before. Just hit her with a couple Mad-Eyed Mike essays and she'll be suckered in. Also, have Flirt help you.
Hermione's Twin
Oct 20 2003, 05:10 PM
Remember what I said before. She actually thinks H/Hr is going to happen and if Flirt and I keep talking about it, she'll probably join in. But then again, it doesn't help that Ron is her favorite character. She's secretly rooting for Ron to get a girl.

Yea but keep her away from the DT, i dont see wth people find so enticing about the DT.
I mean, all it is is a bunch of subtle bashing that the mods ignore imo so they have something to laugh at.
Of course the r/hr's outnumber us there but its still dumb really.
Fun debating to look at is the mugglenet.com or as jack would call it "the closet r/hr site" forums.
Regardless of its admins, the mods are pretty unbiased and dont take kindly to bashing, no matter how subtle.

Hmmm...yeah, do keep her away from DT. If Ron's her favorite character, introduce to her the idea of Ron and Luna. It's a good ship for her to follow and gives her a person for Ron. I hope you work some magic!

*Thinking out-loud* Ron and Luna...Ron and Luna...perhaps. But she'll probably ask me why the heck those two belong together.

They do! They do! They complement each other in a Ron/Luna way, much like Harry and Hermione complement each other in a Harry/Hermione way

Anyway, if you want reasons, here they are:
Ron/Luna Canon Hints and
Ron/Luna Essay The esaay, in my opinion, is really good and raises a lot of points. But just to even the score, you might as well print both of them [the topics] out
