This is one of my favourite moments.
1) Hermione HAS a usual chair.
2) Harry KNOWS Hermione has a usual chair.
3) Ginny is sitting in it and Harry NOTICED.
4) At this point Hermione has been petrified and Harry and Ron are waiting for the room to clear so they can "follow the spiders". So Harry's got a lot on his mind at the moment and he still notices all this.
5) Subconsciously, Ginny cannot take Hermione's place in Harry's eyes. (this is purely my Shippy talking here )

Permission: I am still waiting for permission from 5 people. I'm not gonna name & shame but I'll probably send these people another PM shortly politley asking them again.

Kalie: Yeppers, I am collecting all the reason and tidying them up. My Logical Side has been taking a machete to this list tidying it up, I haven't worked on it in a few days though. I actually have 2 lists, the unedited and the Machete. Any Character/Ship Bashing reason will not be included (this also goes for anything involving D/E). I don't know when this will stop. I'll keep collecting if people can keep coming up with reasons I suppose. I wouldn't start coding them yet Kalie. I'm also inserting canon references where I can to strengthen some of them.

The list Sandra just posted is outta date. Here is the latest, Completely UNEDITED list: (except for spelling/grammar -- keep in mind I'm an Aussie and we spell some things differently to everyone else, and I have already put in some canon references here) Ack! AND I can include those who haven't given me permission yet here because it's still within Portkey.

List Deleted! It was redundant to keep it here with the new thread. See Mod Notes above. ~Anazecria/Nielle

*wipes brow* Phew! My fever addled brain is exhausted. So for those of you who still have something to add, we are up to 165.

Thanks for the warm welcome, Harry/Hermione4eva.
I wish I could send my post everyday but that’s impossible because I’m very busy with my work at this time.
Okay, I’ll watch out for them. Thanks for your warning.
You can call me Kinki or KPG... I love those nickname!!

Gee... thanks

Thanks, Facade!! Oh, I really enjoy reading all your posts!

Hey... sure... I’ll do that...

Thanks, Nielle... English is my fourth language

Oh, about that ‘wierd’ thing, I spelled it wrong. It’s weird, actually. If you read all five books by heart, you’ll understand what I meant. Harry and Hermione ARE weird

I agree with you. It’s really confusing!! English is my fourth language next to Malay, Chinese and Japanese

Bravo!! Great one, Jennifer!!

It's seems like ages since the last time I entered this forum...

By the way, my reason:

172.) Because Harry LOVE every presents that Hermione gave him.
173.) Because Hermione's the first girl in Harry's life that brave enough to say 'VOLDEMORT'
174.) Because Harry thought of Hermione when he and Ron were in trouble. (Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secret. Chapter 16: The Chamber of Secret.)
175.) Because they treated the house elves equally like witches and wizards.
176.) Because to Harry, Hermione is more important than Cho. (In my opinion. )

How's that?

Um, "weird" has such a negative connotation. Perhaps you meant "different", but in what way? They stand out in what way?

~Pen

I suppose you're right... But to me, they are weird in some way... my friends and cousins also agree with me... Like I told you, read!

*squirms and blushes* People actually pay attention to them? *is baffled*

*laughs* No you aren't Jennifer.

I wish I had a new reason to add, but star22 stole them all. *glares at star22*

Not a problem!
And you can call me Becky if you want, it's much easier to type!
I totaly understand the busy with work thing. But I have no social life what so ever, so I have loads of time to come on here and post pointless messages! *Looks at Post counter* Yep, LOADS of time!

I feel like such an idiot! I can speak 2 languages. English (First language, 'cause well, I'm English) and French, but I can't really speak that too good! And People on here speak 3 or 4 different languages! Wow!

By the Way, great work Nielle! Ooooh, you get the thumb smilie, aren't you special!


*Joins Nielle and Hermione's Twin at side of road*
Has she turned up yet?

Why is everyone so modest around here? You should bask in your glory, go on, BASK!

*chuckles* Aww... I wouldn't say that....Hunting down the canon references for the reasons has let me stumble on a few things which I found cute.

178. When it comes to Harry, Hermione can outrun Hagrid.

"thumbup smilie" just sounds wrong for some reason.... But thankyou anyway.

*sits, still waiting* Nope.... she's not here yet... but I have nothing else to do, weeell I do, but I'm procrastinating.
*watches a ferret bounce down the road*
I hope that wasn't a Lurker...

Nielle, jealous of all these bilingual people.

I really like this one. hehe, I never even thought of it.

Wow, so poetic, and in my mind, the perfect comeback for R/Hrs

Gee, and I thought I was a geek. Well, if you all like it, all I can do is grin. *grins* At least this is proof that I do pay attention in math, somewhat.

I'm not bilingual, even though I supposedly know how to speak French *coughs*yeahright*coughs* Otherwise, all I know is English.

Jennifer, I absolutely LOVE this reason! It makes sense - and not to mention it's very creative and cute Go you for (semi?) paying attention in Math class - you just gave us a very valid reason! (And it's canon, too *squee*) Don't mind me.

*160.) Hermione is Harry's other half. And Harry is Hermione's other half. They're two halves of a whole. <-- Just include only that, Nielle. Not the previous two. Please?

*Since Lally (Mrs. Pepper) added a reason, I'm just adding on. (To Nielle)

Beaky, you're not an idiot, okay...
My cousin only spoke in English

Just a tad confuzzled, Birthday Girl, which two reasons do you want this to replace? Is it these two:
170.) They care about one another. Deeply.
171.) Because Hermione thinks Harry's a great wizard. (He prefers that it's her, not him, who's great. But in the end, Hermione's right.)
Or is it different ones? Just want to make sure my stuffy brain understands. Because being like makes my brain feel .

Dupond, that was a cute fic. But I've also heard HP stands for Hermione's Patronus. I think that was mentioned in a long ago thread here. *thinking aloud* Though because it comes from a fic I"m not sure we can use it, unless I get permission from the Author, or maybe it would be OK if I provide a link to the fic?

Pondering,
Nielle

It sounds familiar... I've read a fan fiction that contained that quote...

I can't explain it... It's kinda complicated... for one thing, Harry survived from Voldemort(I shouldn't said that ) when he was a baby(For me, Harry is a weird baby). And as for Hermione, she can do magic just by reading books. I dont think all witches and wizards can perform magic just by reading books... It's hard to explain, really... There are other reasons but I can't explain it coz like i said, I'm bad in english...

By the way, my reason again:

180) Because harry's the hero and there's no other heroine except Hermione. (My cousin gave me that idea... )
181) Because Harry and Hermione didn't know about this 'magic' world until they received a letter from Hogwarts. (Wrong grammar?? )

~ Kinki

Sorry, Nielle. I should've elaborated more, didn't I? (If that made any sense whatsoever.) I didn't mean literally the previous two - I meant this:

The words in bold is the one that I want included. The words that are in plain script is what I don't want included. *hopes that made a little sense*

Keep reasons 170 and 171, though

181.) Subtleness is the best type of foreshadowing that there is.

Gah, that made no sense whatsoever. Oh well.

I'm really sorry if I got the counting screwed up *bites lip* Maybe you should post a list every 10 posts, Nielle - even though it probably is a pain for you.

Hmm... Maybe you're right. I dunno where i got that idea. Maybe it's just me...


Reasons:

182)Because Hermione shared Harry’s unpleasantness.
183)Because Hermione willing to break the rules just for Harry.
184)Because Hermione have faith in Hermione.
185)Because Harry didn’t know how he’d have got through his life without Hermione.

~ Kinki

Correction:-
184) Because Hermione have faith in Harry

So there you go. We are up to 201.

Nielle

Edit! Here is a link with the full list of Reasons!
Obviously minus those who did not give me permission to use theirs. *glares at those people who shall remain nameless* I will also add a link to my sig. Please read them so you do not overlap with others.

Nielle

Yeah, I guess it would. Thanks, Nielle!

And congrats to Sandra for giving the 202th reason

This scene has to be among my Top10 H/Hr scenes. It's got everything. Silent communication, arm grabbing, speaking in unison, AND JKR acknowledging some of it. Other than snogging, what more could you want?

Nielle, who really should be sleeping, as she has work in a couple of hrs.

Hmm, I saw my name mentioned here. Guys, you can ask any Global Mod to do that (cross-referencing posts) for you, y'know.

I'll link the list for reasons #165 - 200 now. And edit the Topic Title.

Btw, reason # 164 reminds me of something ...

It reminds me of an H/H thread title we used in the FAP (Fiction Alley Park) SCUSA forum. It's the "Skiing's not her thing --he is!" title. Hehehe, wouldn't the anti-H/H shippers seethe upon seeing Because skiing's not her thing --he is! in the Reasons list?

Could it be the fact that he was unable to think when he saw that Hermione was hurt?

219: it is not proud
"Harry, I'm begging you, please!" said Hermione desperatly

220: It is not rude
Hermione don't call him names even he is yelling at her

221: it is not self-seeking
Hermione don't use her friendship with Harry Potter.

222: it is not easily angered,
Through the whole OotP book Harry yells at her though she never react angered.

223:it keeps no record of wrongs
Don't keep speaking about there fights between H/Hr

224:Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
"You..this isn't a criticim, Harry! But you do..sort of...I mean - don't you think you've got a bit of - a - saving-people thing?" she said.

225:It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres
"Harry, I'm begging you, please!" said Hermione desperatly "Please let's just check that Sirius isn't at home before we go charging off to London. If we find out he's not there, then I swear I won't try to stop you. I'll come, I'll d-do whatever it takes to try and save him."

226: Love is not Jealousy.

227: Fundament of Love is blind trust

228: Alone the thought at Hermione let Harry smile in his hardest year

229: The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and to beloved in return

230: He hears her voice whisper in his ear though she is not there.

231: His jaws drops as he saw her.

232: Because Hermione would risk everything for Harry even if she has doubts. Risk her life, her futur and Hogwarts.

Should there be more reasons?

just curious...

keep em comin guys!

That was in OOTP. Dobby had finished telling Harry about a secret room, which we find out is the Room of Requirement. Dobby tells Harry that he could show him the room now. Harry almost got out of his seat to retrieve his invisibility cloak from his dormitory, but a voice "very much like Hermione's whispered in his ear: reckless." After that, he sat back down.

Then 12 chapters later, it is:

I love how it goes from sounding like Hermione's voice to being Hermione's voice.

Your Reasons are wonderful phoenixwriter, and feel free to add more if you like, everyone is welcome to contribute.

I know Pen, but you're the Mod that pops into my head first.

Looks like I may have to re-adjust the wording for that Reason.

Nielle *goes off to update the Reasons list and continue compiling before Kalie glares at her or pokes her*

Haha! You're welcome darlin'! And the final version will be absoultley fabulous! Trust in me!

HB, I think they have been said before, but not in those words, although I'm not sure.

Nielle, you know don't you!? Have they already been mentioned?

Yay and Nay. As you said, they have, but not in that wording. And not the Murtlap Essence specifically. It's OK though, I can still work them in, they just won't be standalone Reasons. And HB will get credit where it's due.

Nielle

uh... im sorry!!!
maybe im not good at reading...
oh well...

HB
