Some things I cannot change

I can understand people who saw the films shipping H/Hr, especially POA. My colleagues have become fascinated by HP recently (seriously, it's odd), and my colleague N, who hasn't read the books but has (I think) seen the films said something about how he thought Harry and Hermione ("the girl witch, you know..") would get together. I can understand people who've read the books seeing H/Hr too, because, like you say, everyone reads the books differently. Every interpretation is slightly different - that's why we all take different things away from it, that's why we all have different favourite characters, and that's why we all have different ships, and different views of those ships. I sometimes wonder if the people who write fic where Draco Malfoy turns out to be a beautiful, altruistic, merely misunderstood person who loves kittens and puppies and opens a muggle orphanage in the manor, are actually reading the same books as I am - but they are. They're just interpreting it differently. So I get where the ship comes from in that sense. I don't see it myself, but I can see that other people have the facility to see it. If that makes sense.

It's weird, I keep finding myself getting confused between that actual Maurauder-era canon of the books and shoebox_project. Like when I was reading the interview, and they were talking about Lily's courage, and I was like, "yeah, she was so great at the funeral.." and it took me a while before I remembered that actually that wasn't *canon* canon, it was SBP canon! *g* But I agree - Remus would never behave that way. He's just too decent, bless him. *loves*
