     •   Sense & Sensibility                 Harry & Hermione ...
The main point in favor of this option is Hermione being the main female lead, making her all but the default choice for Harry, and their close friendship which ties closely into that; supporters also cite many instances of possible symbolism and metonymy that outline them as a couple.
Harry/Hermione shippers tend to think that a more harmionous friendship would be a better base for a romantic relationship, an idea borne out in one of the ship's alternate names, the HMS Harmony, which is a combination of their two names.
The nickname HMS Pumpkin Pie is derived from a fan fiction piece posted by Harry/Hermione supporter, Narri at FictionAlley Park in late November of 2001 which involved the Harry and Hermione kissing after Harry had just eaten pumpkin pie with Hermione stating in the end that he tastes like pumpkin pie.
