Pairing : Draco and Harry

[La Dame Du Lac]

Support or not support? I don't support this this.

[Time Lord]

Ehhh.. neither do I.

[Lord Lovrina]

I support it as a rival pairing.

But NOT as lovers. Harry kissing Draco and having a romantic relationship is a big no to me, so I don't like it.

[Time Lord]

^^ many agreements there.
I just couldn't imagine them ever getting it on.
*shudders*

[Anya the Purple]

Definitely not. Both of them would have to be way to ooc for comfort in my opinion.

[Treasure Cat]

Normally I'm all for pairing people up in everything/anything I'm watching or reading, but generally with HP I can't bring myself to mess with Jo's canon. It just feels wrong, therefore Drarry is a no from me. That's not to say I don't read HP fanfic though, and I did stumble across a hate!sex Drarry fic once that was...interesting to say the least >.>

[Pinkemon]

I have a very huge urge right now to post a certain naughty HarryxDraco fic from the same source that introduced me to the HogwartsxGiant squid fic.
However, I probably shouldn't...

(I don't see the appeal in it, personally. They genuinely don't seem to get along.)

[Time Lord]

^ oh please don't...

[DefyingLogic]

My problem with any HP fanfic pairings is that we've seen these characters and grown with them since they were ELEVEN. I just can't pair up eleven year olds even if they are in their late teens now (20s for the actors). This especially true with main characters in a series as long and developed as HP.

...but I did find a SnapexDraco one once... and OMFGZDROOOL!!!! ''''D:

^Well, doesn't it depend on the writer at what age they'd actually hook up/be paired? Or am I not understanding...

I only don't support it because I don't endorse any ships. I'm usually the one who will vehemently agree/disagree with fanplots. =)

[Lovely Kiss]

I support it!

Waves -Drarry Flag-

Yup.

I just think even though 'blah blah canon and whatnot' it is fanon right? People can create miracles with words if they want. x3

To take a liking to this pairing, you have to approach it with an open mind. Something alot of people don't have. Luckily for me, I do, and this couple blew me by storm. Of course, the onslaught of magnificent fanfiction with their authors and marvelous plots, it wasn't too hard. But you have to understand for me it was weird, because I had never viewed Harry nor Draco as a homo/bi-sexual while reading the books. I did not see canon that way. It's a tough job seperating Canon from Fanon, but I think I manage quite well.

Why do I love this pairing? They are what I think how I would want to be in a relationship. Harry and Draco are a Balance. Their personalities are totally different. What one has, one lacks. What one would like, the other makes up for. Even in appearance they are opposites.Where as Draco as described in the books: "White blond hair, cold silver/grey eyes, a rather pale complexion, and a "pointed" face." His appearance as a whole seems light. While Harry: "Messy jet black hair, and bright green eyes that are hidden behind thick black-framed glasses."Draco's persona is more *out*-there, extroverted, where as on the other hand Harry is more subdued and keeps to himself. Harry is also brave, and selfless,while Draco is the exact opposite: a wimp and selfish.

In the canon sense I feel that Draco tries to make up for his and Harry's lack of friendship by getting his attention in other ways. For example always badgering Harry's friends, when he could care less about the "mud-blood" and "weasel", or always badgering Harry at the most opportune times when he feels the spotlight will be put on him and his rival.

In a fanon sense I feel that their personalities match evenly. Where Draco is sarcastic, Harry is naive. When Draco puts up a mask of indifference, Harry's face is an open display of emotions. In the fanon world, Harry and Draco fit beautifully. Their Angst, Fluff, Smut, and even Humor are marvelous testaments to a beautiful pairing. And I couldn't love them any less.

Something I found, I do believe her reasoning is my same reasoning. =3

They can, yes, but this does not happen in fanfiction.


Fanfiction and literary miracles are diametrically opposed.

Not to mention, it would never work out as both Harry and Draco are tops.

This.

I did read a couple of good grammarly checked fanfics of this pairing, but the characters were too out of character for my liking. The opposite personalities could be worked to make it convincing, but it wouldn't work as in canon.

[readerwritergirl]

It's sort of a guilty pleasure (I'm a yaoi fangirl). I will admit that the two characters look kinda hot together. >_>''

NOTE: "Look kinda hot together" DOES NOT EQUAL "work out as a couple." Besides, they hate each others' guts.

I agree completely on the last part. I think that's how people hook up and break up a lot because of personality differences.

I don't support Drarry at all. I read one on accident once and it turned me off from fanfiction for over a year.
