Pre-A/N concerning readers of Ch 34, The Last Place You Look, before 8/16/10: I have fixed the mistake which involves Ron apparating without a wand. Now, instead of disapparating, Ron flooed away.
Pre-A/N concerning all readers of Ch 35, The Mystery Mashup: The first is Asteria/Draco after the war, and how she heals him. The second is Luna/Rolf, also after the war, where Rolf is dining at her house for the first time and forced to endure Xenophilius Lovegood's notorious cooking in order to leave a good impression. Next is Remus/Nymphadora, and "temporarily" means until Tonks is pregnant, at which point Lupin freaks out and runs to Harry, who monumentally refuses him. Fourth, Neville/Hannah, Hannah defending her new husband to her only in-law, Augusta Longbottom, wanting Neville's greatness to be fully appreciated. And finally, Olympe/Hagrid, with Madam Maxime absolving (I think absolving is my word-of-the-day) their Yule Ball argument so that their relationship can continue. Ah, Five more couples... And that, my friends, is what it means to represent "the canon romance."

Warnings/Notes: To all the people who hate H/G because they find it strange that a little girl's crush can be replaced by a woman's love, I dedicate this fluff. Ron and Hermione are in HBP, post-breaking up with Lavender. Ginny and Harry are post-DH, pre-epilogue.
Lounging near the fire, Ron's brow furrowed. "Hermione, don't you ever think there's something wrong with Harry and Ginny?"
Understanding the unsaid "as a couple," she bent over her Charms essay, due next week. "Just because she's your baby sister doesn't mean she can't find true romance."
"Yeah, but- she spent her childhood dreaming of him as her hero!"

"My hero…" She murmured. The war over, Harry was finally hers; not the world's.
"Surely more than that, by now…" the lover pouted.
"My man?"
"That's better."

"So did most of Wizarding Britain. One had to be his love."
