so, at wildgreentide's birthday gathering, we played her 'shag, marry, dump' - the board game given to her by starbuckle. and when, by our special, just-for-us rules, i gave everyone harry, ron and hermione as options, i was the only one, the only one in a room of 6 who listed ron as shag. everyone else dumped him. dumped him!!! ?

and my shock and outrage at this prompted this text message from jenny:

"What do you mean they all voted to dump me? Ron hollered. Hermione hid a smile behind her hand. "That was after they shagged you, of course."

hee. poor ron. oh well, more for draco. or neville. or harry. etc.

Unbelievable.

I'd dump Hermione, shag Harry and marry Ron. Because he's *Ron* and you just don't let him get away. He's a *keeper*. (pun intended)

haha. ::enjoys the pun::

i said shag ron, marry hermione and dump harry. which broke my heart to say but harry as we currently know him would annoy the bejeezus out of me and thus, dump. but it was hard.

dumping ron, though? not an option.

More shock and outrage! If I could, I would both shag and marry Ron.

thank you. yes. unbelievable, isn't it? what were they thinking?

Wait--do you ever get to shag the one you married, or do you have to live in agonising unfulfilled attraction forever? Because that would make a big difference. Maybe everyone just wanted to make sure he had a chance at Hermione in bed, and only chose to marry Harry because he couldn't bear the thought of being with Ron for a lifetime without being allowed to have sex with him. Or something. :D

well, we tended to make up rules as we went along. like, you could shag someone and then dump them... and my favorite reason for marrying people was that i could then shag them in perpetuity. whatever we had to do to rationalize our choices. :)

Dearest Ron,
It wasn't that it was bad or anything. It was great! I mean, 6 times! Harry can't make it to3 usually. But when you're faced with straight and narrow for the rest of your life, or exciting hijinx and danger, well, I know who you would choose so you understand.
