Do you seriously believe that Harry could insult Hermione by simply not wishing to knit? of course she'll be disapointed, but she'll still love him all the same.

Full Version: Harry's gift for Hermione's birthday - T01
I thought so. So flowers, books, socks, knitting... what else? Have I left anything out, oh yes... SPEW.
Maybe he and Hermione can work on a day when the students and the house elves switch places? That might make Hermione happy and the fact that Harry's helping her ::sigh:: I read that in a fic which I can't remember it's name or Author. I don't think it even ended up H/Hr in the end, I was devastated.

I remember Harry reading a fic where Harry help Hermione with SPEW. It was Chrismas holiday and all the students went home, so the house-elfs had nothing to do. All they did was reclean the kitchen over and over again so they were really miserable. Harry then convinced them to go outside and have fun or something. It ended with a beautiful H/Hr moment in the end.
Reading Hogwarts, A History is definitely cute...gotta like that one. With the nice roaring fire, good touch, Sandra. Ron does need to apologize but that'll take a while... 
Thanks Jack! Anyway a couple mugs of hot chocolate wouldn't hurt, either. They can have extra whipped cream as well, they can use it for some other--uh--circumstances.Hmm.
This is sounding quite fluffy.

I was wondering when your 'conquering each post until someone answers back and post again' thing was going to come back, Jack.
It would be nice to have them have another walk around the lake. Probably toss a few pebbles for the Giant squid to catch, watch the sunset together. *happy sigh*

It's back now as you can see...a nice walk is always good. Sigh...just what I'd want to do with Songbird...a long walk with the sunset in the background, holding hands...so fluffy, so cute, so romantic. 
It is quite nice thinking about that isn't it? Can you imagine the birds chirping and the soft melody of a violin playing.
But according to somebody, that is too cliche. I think that particular somebody has a stick lodged up their (censored).

Well at least someone appreciates my supposed cliche views! Thanks for agreeing Jack.
That somebody was, for the sake of letting their identity be kept secret I'll just say it as from one of the members of Harry and the Potters.*grits teeth* I read the email again and got a bit miffed, I guess they couldn't see through my sarcasm.

Oh, Sandra, its their fault if they couldn't detect your wonderful sarcasm!
Jack, I have read that Raspberry Swirls fic....ah.... steamy...*fans self*
Perhaps as a present, Harry can be Hermione's Slave for the day. (not like that, my fellow Gutter Citizens, although that would be lovely) He can carry her books for her all day or something...."Harry Potter, at your service..."
She knows she wants Harry to be her slave...
It doesn't defeat the purpose of her "slavery" views, it would make her happy actually, to have a human (her hero) as her slave, rather than a house-elf. and if it's Harry, one of the people who had given her a bit of a hard time about it, then it would make her even happier... and the things they'd get up to!!!

I'm sure there are other things that Innuendo is thinking of... 
But I won't elabourate...
So are we agreed? Harry'll be her slave?
I mean, why can't he do all of the things for her that have been mentioned and be her slave...?
Is it too much to ask? I mean it's only his Mione...
::sigh::
he may want to buy her some whipped cream too...

Wow...I haven't been on this thread for a bit...but wow. Hehe...I guess it was only going to be a matter of time. Though I have no objections of Harry being a slave to Hermione. I think that it would be very cute and depending on how her innuendo side is...it'll definitely be an unforgettable gift.
I think if Hermione was given the chance to have Harry be her slave, she'd take it up and her Innuendo side would be eating her up inside, cos she would but wouldn't want to have him do anything tooo drastic, but it'd drive her insane, cos she would have the opportunity and she wouldn't be game enough to use it....

OK...that would work. Him volunteeering and doing all that kind of stuff would be cool...whipped cream...don't even start on that! The Gutter City Sheriff warns you to not get too innuendo-ic...the little children might be corrupted.
You know, I was going through GoF again, and I thought of something else Harry could give Hermione as a present. A Pensieve. Harry comments in GoF that she looked like she could use one.
Well, I liked the idea. Don't mind me, I'm having a bout of insomnia right now, the delerium's set in.

He does? What's the terming for that? I don't remember that in GoF? That would be cute if he did think that...but when did it happen?

| GoF, Chapter 31, The Third Task: "Hermione had not spoken for ten minutes. She was sitting with her forehead in her hands, staring at her knees. Harry thought she, too, looked as though she could have done with a Pensieve. |
I think she could use one, too.
Cute...thanks for the quote! I just couldn't remember it...of course I haven't read GoF in two years (although I'm re-reading it right now)....well, if Harry thinks so, why not?
Thanks for the compliments you guys, but I really don't think I am funny. I'll admit I have my moments, but besides that...
Anyway giving Hermione a penseive doesn't really strike me as romantic. Though it would be thoughtful and a great present. But it seems like something he would give her when they are in their 30's. Unless there are a few memories that would--ah-- please them. Then that is alright.

It would be a thoughtful present, but yeah, I do suppose that would be nicer for when they're married and have young kids...They can certainly revisit some of their finer memories. *cough*
Yes, some of their finer memories . I agree though. I love the idea of a pensieve, it's just that all of them are too young to have one right now. I always thought you'd get a pensieve when you got old enough and started to forget everything.

Sandra, you have what is known as a dry wit....so while you are very funny, some people might not get it immediately, or not even realise you are joking. This does not mean you aren't funny. It means they are stupid. OK, that was a little harsh, but they get slapstick better than dry wit. But dry wit requires a bit more thought on people's part.
Perhaps the Pensieve is not a 'romantic' gift, but yes it is extremely thoughtful, (and I'm betting expensive) and while it may be something you give to someone when you're older, I think Hermione is the exception to the rule. I think she's needed one for years. And Harry doesn't give Hermione romantic gifts, he gives her what she needs/wants. (book in OotP, anyone?) He could merely tell her it's a study-aid.
Also, Harry could not possibly resist a dip into her Pensieve. There are fics about this.
Cue Shippy Side & Straw-Grasping: I'd also like to add in that particular scene I quoted, Harry also felt like he could use a Pensieve. He didn't say that about Ron. Harry and Hermione need Pensieves. Awwww...
Innuendo Side: Yes, a Pensieve would be great for certain erm, occasions.

Hey now...*in presence of Hermione* Harry would never ever invade Hermione's privacy like that. He is an upstanding fellow with high levels of integrity. He respects Hermione way too much to ever consider a thing like...*Hermione leaves* Oh oh, me first...me first! I want to see what she's thinking!
*laughs at Jeremiah* Floral arrangements indeed.... though he could plant some of his own thoughts into it, for Hermione to take a peek.

Get in line..... I think we all wanna see Hermione's thoughts! But this does make me wonder, would Harry dip into Hermione's Pensieve?
He has dipped into Dumbledore's (accidentally), and Snape's (spitefully). If Harry did take a dip in her .... Pensieve, people Pensieve!
Ahem, anyways, if he did do such a thing, inevitably, he would get a revelation.But if his conscience (which sounds a lot like Hermione's voice) talked him out of it, this would speak volumes equally.
It would be putting Harry in a moral dilemma. I love those, actions speak louder than words.Also, Jeremiah, I may have my Multiple Sides, but I'm yet to imagine fictional characters in the room! Hehehe...... who here is truly sane?
Not me! *runs off to dance with the fairies*
I think Harry might give something more thoughtful for Hermione's birthday like he did for Christmas, I can't remember what he gave her for Christmas, what was it again?
I thought perhaps a new book that Hermione has been dying to get but was too expensive to buy but Harry would end up getting because he is very thoughtful. He is much more caring when it comes to Hermione than Ron is.
Or he might just get her a pogo stick.
Jess~

*thinks Jess is a strong contender for the Insanity Olympics 2003* I can just imagine Hermione's face when she recieves her pogo stick. Harry would have some explaining to do!
He'll be sore in the morning... and I don't mean that sore
This is kind of weird...you guys are totally off-topic everywhere! Do you think perfume was a bad present from Ron? I thought so...it's not exactly what Hermione would want, was it?
I wonder what scent it was. Do you think it was one of those fruity ones? I bet Ron did get her one of those, probably apple scented or what not.
You don't get perfume for a girl. My girlfriend told me that different scents are differnent on all females. Some will smell good on some, but terrible on others. It has something to do with they're body chemistry or something. Hermione is a practical sort of girl, so I though Harry's gift was much better.
Yes perfumes are so unreliable. You get some skin irritation with some, nasty rashes. And some smell downright horrible.
I would have preferred to receive the book, thank you very much!

Well, I think it's plainly obvious to everyone that Hermione liked the book far better than the perfume. Although, some have said that she was trying to "mask her true feelings for Ron" in that scene *snorts*
Yes, I am sure that she meant to say that it was the most precious gift she had ever received when she said it was "unusual."
*snickers* How can anyone be so blind not to see that obvious clue. *snorts*
*snickers* How can anyone be so blind not to see that obvious clue. *snorts*
*chuckles* See, the way Hermione used the word 'unusual' is the way I use the words 'interesting' or 'indescribable'. Like so:
| QUOTE (Kalie) |
| Although, some have said that she was trying to "mask her true feelings for Ron" in that scene *snorts* |
Interesting.
Have I made my point clear?
In case I haven't, let me make it clear that I am not saying Kalie thinks that. I know Kalie certainly wouldn't think that, but she would be aware that there are people out there who think that. Random thought: I should write disclaimers. Ron should have bought Hermione a better gift. It either shows little thought (last year Hermione turned into a girl, girls like perfume don't they?), or he was hint-dropping, badly. Either way shows he doesn't really know Hermione well does he? Does he honestly think Hermione is the type of girl who cares about perfume? Even if she was, the gift would have been way more thoughtful if he'd tried to find out what perfume she did wear, if any. That would have been impressive. Thankfully, Ron doesn't get Hermione like Harry does, and once again, Ron's cluelessness towards Hermione makes out Ship stronger.
Yes, this is a lesson to all males: never buy a woman perfume unless you already know what perfume she wears. As Aramas said, everyone's body chemistry is different and while it may smell nice in the shop, when it reacts with the skin, it might smell like a troll on her.
I'm personally one of those women who never wears perfume (they all smell the same to me), jewellery (I only wear 1 necklace, and it has a special significance to me), and do not like to receive flowers (they are impractical and they die). Needless to say, I freak guys out. *shrugs*
I was a little worried there, Nielle, but thankfully I read the disclaimer. Of course, I don't think that, but there are many shippers who do.

Wow, Nielle now I am scared, you just described me in that paragraph.
I still remember a nasty rash that I got from a perfume. That occurance has put me off them.
I think that Ron is just clueless on what to give Hermione. He probablythought girls like perfume--> Hermione is a girl--> therefore she will like it.
*shakes head*
My girlfriend is like that. She practical. She doesn't mind jewelry herself, but perfume, flowers, or the like she doesn't.

That's because I am watching you. Mwa Ha Ha Ha Ha!
I don't recall any rashes from perfume though. But perfume, jewellery and flowers are the 3 things a guy thinks of getting a girl, and when they're ruled out, they have to put a bit more thought into it. The results are interesting to say the least. But most of the time I've been pleasantly surprised.Yes Ron was being completely clueless on what to give Hermione. Like I said, I'd have been worried if Hermione had walked in saying:
"Thanks for the book, Harry, and Ron, how did you know what perfume I wear? I never thought you'd noticed, that was very thoughtful of you."
That was really hard to write. *reminds herself* It was only an example, only an example.... I should write drabbles for penance.....
I'm another one of those "weird" girls who don't like perfume and such. In fact, I don't even wear makeup. No lipstick, no nail polish, no eye shadow, nothing. Flowers are okay, but as Nielle said, they die. The only piece of jewerly I wear on a regular occasion is my class ring. I have two other rings, but the one is very valuable, so I don't wear it around often. I wear necklaces too, but not on a regular basis. I only wear them when I feel like it.
As I am Hermione's Twin *snorts at myself*, Hermione probably would like the same things I like *snorts again*. Thus, she probably thought Ron's gift was boring and inconsiderate. I would have much preferred a book .

Yeah I'm like one of those girls too. I never wear any make-up, perfume and crap like that. I only use it when I'm going out for dinner or going to a party. Every other time, I usually just wear my casual stuff and Harry's clothes. I love guys clothes, they're so baggy and comfortable!

God, I'm really cracking up now...your boyfriend's a good guy. Lol...anyway, yeah, Ron just did this stupid thing: Hermione's a girl---->she must like perfume. Harry got her a book she'd been wanting for ages.
Seriously though, when is Hermione going to use the perfume? She doesn't seem like one of those girls that spritz some everyday. And I find it hard to believe that she will wear it to dinner. *snorts*
*laughs at the bread* I'll have some bread too...
Erm Millie... your mum sounds.... strange....
Hermione is not the sort to use perfume in my opinion. But it is in Harry's POV, so as far as we know, maybe he just hasn't sniffed her yet. But he did enquire about her non-bushy hair in GoF, (and a guy discussing a girls hair is a SIGN!) so maybe Harry would notice if she wore perfume. So in my own muddled way I'm trying to say that Hermione doesn't wear perfume because Harry hasn't noticed it. Um yeah.

Hehe...definitely applaud yor attempt, but it feels like the topic has been talked to death. Let's see...over the past 16 pages (hehe...Gutter City was founded in this thread), we've come up:
*books (includes him writing one for her)
*knitting/making her something
*a kiss (plus etc...etc....and etc again)
*himself (which really is implied within the "etc")
*a picture of the two of them together (a clean one!)
*a piece of toast
*confession of his love
*Harry taking second command of S.P.E.W.
*Reading Hogwarts, A History with her
*Harry being her slave
*A pensive
I'm pretty sure I missed a few every now and then...it's pretty good. Anyone else wish to add onto it?

Anyway present ideas? Hmm...How about a burned CD with some songs on it(of course!). She can listen to it over the holidays, since you can't over at Hogwarts( how do they survive!).
And if I am not mistaken, this is my 900 post. Yikes! I am the third person to ever reach this honor. *sniff* Thanks to all you guys who read my Innuendo infested posts.

Yumiko-Chan
Celestina? Warbeck? Was confused for a minute there... I wonder if she does hold any significance.... *ponders* Maybe Harry will pay her to sing Hermione a song! *desperate attempt to get back on-topic*
Yumiko-Chan, look at the beginning of the chapter after the yule ball. It says Hermione told Harry about how she tamed her hair with a magic hair-care product. So although we don't hear the conversation, we know once took place. The question is, who brought up Hermione's hair taming in the first place? Harry? Why would a guy ask a girl how she straightens her hair?? Hermione? Why would she think a guy would be interested in how she straightened her hair?? It's very interesting the way JKR handled the hair issue. Personally, no guy has ever asked HOW I got my hair to look however it did, nor would any guy be interested in finding out. The guy will usually only go far enough to compliment it.

| GoF, Chapter 24: "Everybody got up late on Boxing Day. The Gryffindor common room was much quieter than it had been lately, many yawns punctuating the lazy conversations. Hermione’s hair was bushy again; she confessed to Harry that she had used liberal amounts of Sleekeazy’s Hair Potion on it for the ball, ‘but it’s way too much bother to do every day,’ she said matter-of-factly, scratching a purring Crookshanks behind the ears." |
THEN Harry mentions how Hermione and Ron were behaving post-Yule Brawl and THEN Hermione's opinion on Hagrid's news about being a half-giant. The first thing he mentions is Hermione's hair. Interesting set of priorities, Harry.
Also, it says she confessed to HARRY. Not Harry and Ron, not Ron and Harry. Harry. Again,
.
Yeah I meant the singer, it could be a present. Her urging Harry to sing to Hermione. Aw, how fluffy!
Anyway how interesting that Harry thought about her hair first. Something so trivial compared to the Yule Brawl and Hagrid's revealed secret.
