HP fandom is "New School", though, albeit one of the first, and probably the biggest, "New School" fandom. (Note: "Old School" and "New School" are labels of my own invention, not really in use in Fandom At Large.) And I'm not sure if I see the difference in the stories you mentioned. (Link?) I mean, I know it's romantic for some people, but to me it's not, kinda like the whole Destined To Love EAch Other thing.
