Day 19 - Favorite Hero/Villain pairing

At-the-ball-draco-malfoy-and-hermione-granger-23704131-500-476

Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy - I like the potential mix here. The good girl and the bad boy; the bookworm "commoner" and the partier (for a wizard) "noble" - they have a huge potential for sparks. Sparks can go one of two ways, good or bad. I think Draco had the potential to be a great deal more than the foil for Harry's school career. In book 4, at the World Cup, you saw a glimmer of that potential when he reminds them the Death Eaters would eagerly go after Hermione since she was a muggle-born. Hermione lived up to a great deal of her potential, but she seemed forced into the relationship with Ron. It didn't feel like it grew naturally to me, and I think her cutting intelligence would have been a fabulous foil for Draco's airs. He would have challenged her, always pushing, always poking. I think it would have been a pair to see.

((Please note, Rinks stole my first choice of Sarah/Jareth.))
