While I suppose Daphne's letter was forged or coerced, it's difficult to see why Harry and Hermione aren't dating. I think you're being a typical anti-Hermione male jerk.
Author's response
- Well, that was... odd.
- If you've read many of my stories, and I know you have since you've reviewed them, then you know that in the majority of my stories with ships, Hermione is my fem of choice.
- I fail to see why so many people have problems with Harry loving Hermione but not in a sexual way. In my live I have had many female friends, who I would do anything for, anything except have sex with them.
- Perhaps I am odd, but I do believe that a man and a woman can be friends without a sexual component.
- I am typical in many ways, I am male, and on occasion I've even been a jerk, but I don't think I've ever been Anti-Hermione. For the sake of my little stories I have placed her in unfortunate situations, and even had her make unfortunate choices (because people do that, even remarkable women).
- If my story in which Harry is not with Hermione and doesn't want to be disturbs you so much, might I suggest reading something different?
