Okay, I was looking at some Albus Severus/Scorpius fanart on dA, and someone said something about HPDM being kind of burned out as a pairing by the last book, since in the Epilogue they are both married and have offspring. And it made me realize something. Well two things actually.

1) We have no proof whatsoever that Draco ever got married. I mean, he's never mentioned in a real pairing in canon (Draco/Pansy is just logical speculation), and his wife shows up in the epilogue not at all. For all we know, he just sort of spawned, like an amoeba. Which, you know, would be cool. But that's beside the point. What's really important is:

2) I no longer consider HP canon to be, well, canon. Seriously. The end of the 5th book, all of the 6th book, and most of the 7th book (aside from certain good aspects like non-evil!Snape and the ending of 7 years of sexual tension between Ron and Hermione),in my mind, are complete non-entities. THEY NEVER HAPPENED. I just...I refuse to allow Deathly Hallows to be considered the real end to Harry Potter, since it was derivative, predictable, thinly characterized, and just frustrating in so many ways. And really, I'm not sure at this point if a refusal to acknowledge canon is a sign that I am a hopeless, incurable fangirl who can't let go of her yaoi even when all evidence goes against it, or if it is a sign that JK really kind of lost her touch in the last two books. It is even stranger to realize that there are fanfics that I take as more likely to be canon than actual canon - The Shoebox Project, for example, almost certainly really did occur, no doubt about it.
