I agree with that train of thought. But as teenagers. IDK if any of you are familiar with the Inheritance Cycle, but one of the things I appreciated is that two people that romance had been hinted at for all the books DIDN'T end up together. The seed was certainly there that they might eventually. But he left it open even though he wanted them together from the beginning, because throwing them together would've been too drastic of a change for the female character. I appreciate a writer who can stop and leave it like that, being respectful of the character. But I suppose with the "19 years later" she need to have then with somebody and the seed was already there ans well laid for Ron and Hermione.<br/><br/>IDK, like I said, I don't hate it. Actually thought it was kinda cute because it was a "opposites attract" kind of scenario. But even with that the relationship never entirely felt "right" to me
