#nevarry

Romione (Ron Weasley/Hermione Granger): Love them down, from the books to the films. These are my babies, and they're to die for <33

Harmione (Harry Potter/Hermione Granger): They're cute, but I do prefer them as friends (or at least with Ron in the mix, Romionarry for the win).

Hinny (Harry Potter/Ginny Weasley): Never really cared for them, from the books nor the films (but especially the films). I do think they're cute and work really well together, plus I love their interactions in fanfics and prefer for them to be as close as possible.

Ronarry (Ron Weasley/Harry Potter): Yes, I love them so much. Harry was down bad, like he loved this boy more than anything.

Drarry (Draco Malfoy/Harry Potter): Love it. The fanfics are always so spectacular, I'm just not a big fan of the popular "buff, macho man Harry" and the "sassy, twink Draco" dynamic thing going on, It's just not for me personally.

NottPott (Theodore Nott/Harry Potter): Yessssssss! I love love love them. Their dynamic is always so interesting to read about in fics. I sometimes like them better than Drarry.

Dron (Draco Malfoy/Ron Weasley): Another pairing I never cared for, but I do think their better enemies to lovers than Drarry and Dramione combined. Like the hatred burns deep between the two families.

Dramione (Draco Malfoy/Hermione Granger): Used to be so obsessed with them as a teen, but now I'm just really not into it. It's still decent, I just don't seek it out or care all to much for it.

Lunarry (Luna Lovegood/Harry Potter): Omg yes! These two are my favorites, and I love them together. They're so adorable! <3

Nevarry (Neville Longbottom/Harry Potter: YES! YES! YES! YES!! I love the whole "Chosen One" and "Prophecy child" thing that they got going on, It's just so good. Plus, I love Neville and Harry (individually) so much, so this is just heaven for me.

Pansmione (Pansy Parkinson/Hermione Granger): It's the lesbian/sapphic version of Dramione to me, but I actually prefer them over Dramione. I love the fanart for them, always so gorgeous! <33

Hedric (Cedric Diggory/Harry Potter): Personally, I've never seen it, but I don't mind it. I love Cedric x Cho more.

Charry (Harry Potter/Cho Chang): No. I have nothing against it, really, but they've just never clicked for me. No spark. I again love Cho x Cedric more.

Dransy (Draco Malfoy/Pansy Parkinson): I can get behind it, but I much prefer them as bestfriends.

Hansy (Harry Potter/Pansy Parkinson): Straight version of Drarry to me, so yeah, I do love this. Their fanart is fantastic too.

Deamus (Dean Thomas/Seamus Finnigan): They're canon, I swear..

Ginmione (Ginny Weasley/Hermione Granger): Don't mind it, but I definitely prefer Romione and Hinny over it. They really just give besties or in-laws to me, idk.

Drastoria (Draco Malfoy/Astoria Greengrass): YESSSSSS!! My favorite Draco ship forever and ever. He loved his wife so so so much, and would do anything for her or to be with her. They're so freaking cute! <3333

Whether or not they realized it

I’m not gonna talk too much about Ginny, since she’s the one Harry ends up with ultimately, but, re-reading the books, I think all of the core 6 kids were in love with Harry whether or not they realized it. Why do I think that? Well, let’s look:

Ron was in love with Harry:

This is one of the hardest to explain because I don’t think Ron understands that what he’s feeling for Harry isn’t just best friend-ship, and is actually love. But let’s look at the evidence:

Ron acts like an over-protective boyfriend. There are moments where Ron’s protectiveness genuinely comes across like something out of a fanfic. When he saw the scars on the back of Harry’s hand given by Umbridge, he pulls Harry’s hand up to his eyes to look while Harry desperately says it’s nothing. We’ve all read something like that in a fanfiction, haven’t we?

But it’s not just moments like that. It’s also that he is willing to stand between anyone and Harry. Take this moment from Deathly Hallows, when the Minister of Magic of all people, points his wand at Harry, and Ron doesn’t hesitate, not even for a moment, to stand up and take out his wand. That’s a bit beyond friendship protectiveness, wouldn’t you agree?

Or at the very end of Deathly Hallows, when Voldemort showcases Harry’s body to Hogwarts, and Ron breaks free of the curse Voldemort has them all under to yell in Harry’s defense. Again, that is way too intense for someone you only view as a friend

Ron declaration of loyalty to Harry is the most romantic moment in all the books

I’m talking about, of course, in Half Blood Prince when Ron says, “We’re with you whatever happens.” This is genuinely the most romantic line in all the books, and far outweighs anything between him and Hermione. And again, that’s a very intense and intimate thing to say to someone who is only your best friend

Hermione was in love with Harry:

Romione stans always get mad whenever anyone brings this up, but it is possible for Hermione (and Ron) to be in love with more than one person

Hermione’s most intimate moments in the series are all with Harry

This is another thing I don’t necessarily see brought up a lot, but all of Hermione’s most intimate moments are with Harry as the person she’s being intimate with. I don’t mean intimate as in they hugged. I mean as in showing genuine care and affection for others. A really talked about moment is Hermione beaming at Harry at the wedding between Bill and Fleur. Not Ron. Harry

But she also is the one who told Harry he was a great wizard and that he would be able to defeat Voldemort in their first year. Or beam when she hears that Harry called her the best of the year to Slughorn. She’s also very physically affectionate with Harry. She gave him a kiss on the cheek, brushed his hair with her fingers on the horcrux hunt, grabbed him by the hand and ran to show him the house elves in the kitchen. There’s no denying that Hermione is just drawn to Harry, and super affectionate with him

Neville was in love with Harry:

This is definitely the hardest to explain because I know for sure he doesn’t realize love is what he feels for Harry. But nevertheless, it’s all here. Neville’s grandma says that Harry is the one Neville speaks most highly of. Sure, that may not mean much on first glance, just that he personally likes Harry the best. But than you remember that he asked Hermione to the Yule Ball the previous book, and suddenly him speaking most highly of Harry takes on a new meaning

Neville also breaks into the Ministry of Magic, not knowing that Sirius is innocent. All he knows is that Harry is upset and scared, and insists on coming to help. Again, you could argue this is just loyalty, but it’s pretty extreme loyalty to break into the government to save who you think is a murderer for someone who’s just a friend. It makes me think there is more to what Neville’s feeling for Harry

Luna is in love with Harry:

Once again, a case of all of Luna’s most intimate moments in the series being with Harry

Her and Harry’s talk at the end of Order of the Phoenix is so beautiful. He is the only one we see her canonically tell about her mom to, and she’s the one who successfully comforts him, knowing exactly what he needs to hear in that moment in a way no one else, not even Ron and Hermione, know

Luna also recognized Harry through Polyjuice Potion because of the expression he had. That is so unbelievably intimate: that Luna can see through Harry’s magical disguise because of his expression and know without a doubt that it’s him. And they also have so many little moments of mutually knowing what the other needs, like Luna knowing exactly what to say at Dobby’s funeral knowing Harry couldn’t manage it, but he even internally thinks she said it for him

Conclusion

I can recognize that Ron/Harry would probably be the most likely to become canon and acknowledge that the symbolism around Neville/Harry would be interesting.
