I married Hermione

I've got to stop staying up so late.

After a few hours of insomnia I get a little punchy.  Last night I took a quiz.  I never take quizes.  But I was too loopy from lack of sleep to read.  So I took a quiz.

Which Harry Potter Character Are You?

(Shut up!  Like you won't now!)

My result?  Who do you think?

Ron

Which Harry Potter Character are you?
brought to you by Quizilla

Obviously the quiz was written by a 13 year old girl with a crush on the actor who plays Ron.

I was a bit surprised when I turned out to be Ron, because I had answered every question consciously trying to skew the quiz so the result would be Harry.  I planned to go back and see if I could make it come out Draco Malfoy on the next round.

But it makes sense.  Of course answering every question the way you think Harry would answer them would result in your being Ron.  That's how Ron himself would take the quiz, trying to think like Harry.

Coincidentally, when I was 14 I looked like the kid who plays Ron did in the last movie, except for the red hair---tall, skinny, gawky, arms and legs all out of proportion and out of control.  I had the same croaky voice too and the same need for a good barber.

So I look like Ron and think like Ron trying to think like Harry.  What else?

Well, as we know, Ron will wind up with Hermione.

And I did.

Bossy overachieving know it all goody goody with a quick temper and a strong right hook?

Remember that scene in Prisoner of Azkaban where Hermione jumps in front of Ron and socks Malfoy in the snoot?

I don't know what you felt then, but I felt a definite shock of recognition.

Back in high school, before she met me and ruined her life, the blonde dated a guy so tall and rangy that her father nicknamed him "Suburban Sprawl."  He was a big strong kid too and went on to be a farmer.  No kidding.  So he could take care of himself in a fight, if he had to.  He was a good natured, easy going character, so the need didn't come up often.  Except once.  Thanks to the blonde and her friends.

Senior year, she and her gang were down at the Jersey Shore and one night on the boardwalk at Ocean City they were out having a good time when some punks started hassling them.  Punks, picking on a group of girls.  If they took the quiz they'd come out Crabbe or Goyle.  They didn't know the girls weren't without male protection.  Suburban Sprawl was just off a ways, buying cotton candy or something.   But he saw what was going on and strode over, all Gary Cooper at his best, to stand up to the punks.

No doubt he could have dusted the floor with any one of them, but he was outnumbered.  But the minute he confronted them and fists were clenched and jaws began to jut and it looked like Suburban Sprawl might actually have to teach the punks their manners, the blonde jumped between them swinging her fists and screaming at the punks that they'd better not dare hurt her boyfriend if they valued their lives!

Sometimes when the blonde re-tells this story, the punks back away in fear.  Sometimes, they stand there flabbergasted, not knowing what to make of this crazy woman.

Always, though, it ends with Suburban Sprawl picking her up by the waist and carrying her out of there kicking and screaming and swinging her fists.

So you see.

I'm Ron, and I married Hermione.

Who are you?

You're right. I had to take the test. I'm Hermione.

[mrs. norman maine]

Hmmmm.....a different test pegged me as Hermione, but this one says I'm Harry. Bloody hell!

[Lance]

It's that bi thing, Mrs Maine. Or maybe it's the Rhea Pearlman thing. After all, Harry's short, dark haired...

[Kip Manley]

Wow. I'm Draco.

And I wasn't trying to rig it or anything.

Whoa.

[coturnix]

I was such a Harry when I was a kid....what happened? And when Hermione socked Draco I instantly fell in love with her. I still duck when I say something maddening to my blonde....

[Rob]

Took it a while ago. I was Voldemort by a pretty wide margin.

No one was surprised.

[Lottie]

Yeah, I took it, and I was Harry, even though I made sure I didn't pick anything to do with Quidditch. Bit of a silly quiz, really, but thanks for the amusement.

I actually got on this page through Google looking up the Ron and Hermione marriage to see if I had read it right. I mean, how tacky.

Ah well.

Faaaantastic.
