Rowling is very aware of all the Harry/Hermione shippers in her fanbase, and she's done nothing but condescend to them. Again: unnecessary.

I fucking love you.

I bought my book full price last Saturday, and I'm selling it to a friend on Monday for $20. Lost out no $27, but damn. I'm actually selling a Harry Potter book.

I swear, I'm going to continue to write AUs. Because, seriously -- fanon is so much more canon than JK's shit that is HBP and DH.
