I am, like many others, an unabashed Harry/Hermione fantic. I do not read or write fan fics that have them involved with other people. It just feels wrong! Especially Draco ! Ech! He wished for her death, for Merlin's sake! He is a toad. And a question for all of us strangely drawn to Snape - is it (in all honesty) because he was played by the handsome and talented Alan Rickman in the movie? Going by the books alone he is not a terribly sympathic character.
