#Side: Hinny

Given the number of cousin marriages and and the implied incest in canon, let alone in fanon, it seems particularly ridiculous to oppose the pairing of Harry and Hermione on the grounds that it's "incest".

the heir: a wicked audio experience - a dramione au

Hermione Granger has spent the better part of a year living for the days when The Heir uploads a new audio on the audio erotica app Wicked. As a woman in her early thirties chasing down a Quidditch player to sign divorce papers, she thinks she deserves to do something for herself. And erotic audio from a man who knows what he’s doing is a perfectly acceptable form of self-care that only costs ten galleons a month. All things considered, her life couldn’t get worse. Draco Malfoy fears the day anyone discovers his secret: while he spends his days in his Auror uniform and helps chase down nefarious criminals, he then spends his evenings recording all the nefarious things he’d do to a particular witch if he got the chance. It started as a way to cope with how he felt every time he saw her and remembered the oaf she married. The success and subsequent compulsion to continue are happy consequences, not the justification he gives himself every night before bed. When news of Hermione’s divorce is leaked to the press, the line between their respective guilty pleasures and reality quickly begins to blur. What will happen when Draco flies too close to the sun, and Hermione starts to wonder what it might feel like to burn?

i want to write a twdg au so fucking bad. so fucking bad just for clem and lee as remus and teddy. but then like,,, yk there's so many ROUTES you can take these things! i'd have to decide what route to take. and then it would just be s1 because what after that? who's aj? yk??? like it would just be s1 but it would just be my playthrough and then it would be like "here is this fic specifically crafted for me and only me"

but it would be fun to do like. alt endings? because we know how s1 ends and i could AHAHAH give that false sense of security with two endings and people (me, again this is made for me and me only) are like "wow i am sad i'll read this othe- AGAIN!?" and that'd be funny.

[rewritingcanon]

sometimes i forget that days after death is my legacy because its my most kudos-ed fic and i remember it exists every 3-4 months. and that i actually have to write it…. idek what the reader base is for that because its nextgen but also technically not. i’ve never had a plan for it, the characters just do whatever they want in that fic. so random.

"Totengräber" Part III

Part III "Totenruhe"

Harry goes to Nurmengard Castle to reach out to another particular portrait...

[regheart]

i keep trying to make a list of my favorite characters from harry potter, but i can't even decide on a criteria myself

i always tell people (non-fandom people, that is) that my favorites are either professor lupin or ginny, because it is easier than explaining my obsession with sirius black's brother who lived and died out of page

the top 3 that i have on the desktop version of the blog is my marauders era top 3: remus, lily and regulus. they are the ones i usually want to read and write about, i love to decipher small details about them and twist and stretch possibilities of who they might have been. i want to build entire AUs about them

and i love remus as the character he is on page, through harry's eyes. missing moments about him and tonks, or sirius, or hermione, or harry are some of my favorites to read

from the main era i love harry, obviously, and he's probably the character i love the most as he is on the page. i tend to be picky about the fanfiction i read with him. i care about him a lot and i want him to happy so most of the times i read "fix-it" fics with him being raised in a loving household (and i abandon all pretense at canon compliance lol) or post-war healing and rom coms or him learning more about his parents (which is probably the origin of my interest in marauders fics tbh). i read a lot of gen fics with him, love harry & sirius, harry & ron & hermione, harry & dudley, harry & snape, and for shipping it's usually ginny, draco or neville

then my other two favorites are ginny and neville, individually and with each other, i love their friendship and i don't mind them as a weird couple. i wish i had a thousand fics more focused on their experience of war and their processes of healing, they are so dear to me and have always been

i love the gryffindors in general and i have a special attachment to parvati and dean. i'm always trying to read more fics centering them or having them in more prominent roles. also lover oliver wood and my favorite weasley, percy, individually and as couple, i'd read a perciver anywhere, anytime

this is perhaps my most controversial fave (or is it reggie?) but dumbledore has always had and will forever have a very special place in my heart. he could be the worst person in the series (he isn't) and i would still love the whimsy diva of a war general. i need to read more with him. i refuse to watch or even learn about fantastic beasts

other than that i love the black family and i have an unreasonable affinity for narcissa out of everyone. i like alphard when he's an old queen. i'd eat up any sincere approach to orion and walburga. i think phineas is criminally underrated

the first war is arguably my favorite period and i'm interested in everything from that time. i'd read anything with moody, he's a rockstar and one my favorites as well. i like frank and alice and think they should be the protagonists more often. i'd read any interesting premise involving the order, but i tend towards my girls dorcas, marlene and emmeline. i unironically think mulciber and evan rosier are interesting. i love to hate crouch sr. and jr.

and you can't read the books without loving voldemort, i'm sorry, i don't make the rules and it's not my fault he has so much juice

so if i had to make list 1) remus 2) lily 3) harry 4) regulus 5) ginny 6) neville 7) dumbledore 8) percy 9) moody 10) voldemort (then it's narcissa, parvati, ron&hermione, etc) (OH GOD AND TONKS TOO)

[four2andnew]

Look, I am a big proponent of the head canon that Harry first called Ginny "Gin" in ✨the heat of the moment✨ and the first time he slipped up and called her Gin in front of someone else, that someone happened to be one Arthur Weasley and he wanted the earth to open up and swallow him while Ginny cackled mercilessly at Harry's discomfort but also turned sixteen shades of a setting sun, 'cause that's her Dad, ya know?

Young Love

Written for @remadoramicrofics day 4 prompt: Don't look now

Read on AO3

‘Don’t look now,’ Tonks murmured, ‘I think young love might be blossoming.’

Remus looked up sharply, not entirely sure what he was expecting, but found himself slightly disappointed to see her watching Harry and Ginny at the other end of the long table in the kitchen of Grimmauld Place. The younger pair were playing a game of exploding snap, which had just gone off in Harry’s face, leaving his eyebrows smoking lightly.

Ginny was laughing hard so hard she was almost falling off the bench, her arms wrapped tightly around her stomach. Harry’s cheeks were pink and an embarrassed smile graced his face, reminding Remus violently of another young Potter boy, and an unexpected wave of grief broke over him. 

He turned away, his heart hurting from memories of happier times long past. ‘What makes you say that?’ he asked in a low voice.

Tonks looked at him then, her eyes holding a hidden meaning he wasn’t quite sure he wanted to decipher. ‘Oh I’m a bit of an expert when it comes to crushes.’

Remus glanced down at the map they were meant to be memorising for their next mission. He wasn’t a fool. He’d noticed her lingering glances, her longer than usual touches. He’d long given up on the hope of denying his own feelings for the bright young witch who had stumbled into his life.

But he could never act on them.

‘Looks to me like they’re just good friends,’ he said, eyes firmly focused on the map.

‘Maybe,’ she said in a strange voice, and when he dared to peek a glance up at her she was watching him intently. ‘Maybe one of them just needs to be brave enough to make the first move.’

For the WIP ask

What about Tears ? 😈

Here's tears, and a peek at the gossip columns, from an upcoming chapter of Beasts 💦 

IT'S ALL RELATIVE: POTTER’S GIRLFRIEND LOOKS LIKE HIS MUM? ...‘It’s common for orphans to idealise their deceased parents to an unhealthy degree,’ according to Professor Gary Garrott, author of Why Sad Men Marry their Mothers. ‘What Potter’s clearly trying to do is compensate for the missing mother-son bond through romantic attachments to women who resemble the mother he lost. It’ll all end in tears, I'm afraid. He needs serious expert help - which I myself offer, at a very affordable rate.’

I miss this universe. So here’s 116 words as a treat. Happy Friday (from where I am)

written for @hinnymicrofic “win”

mlm, nothing graphic but rated m for sexual content to be safe, read below the break.

Harry snorts when he finishes and it shouldn’t be as endearing as it is, it’s not a loud or obvious snort but it’s there. Gideon lies there, chest sticky with sweat and heaving, in awe. Every so often being with Harry hits him like the Knight Bus - in a good way. It’s the same feeling he gets after a particularly great Quidditch match. A sense of accomplishment and pride. He’s worked hard to get where he is professionally and personally.

There’s a lingering cooling sensation that lets him know Harry’s cleaned them up. As Harry slides back into bed and pulls him into his chest, Gideon can’t help but smile even wider than before.

He won.

Holy crap Love, I like a challenge has 202 kudos??? 😱

[amidnightjen]

It starts as a question in a party game but it sticks with Harry.

If you could go back in time and tell your younger self one thing, what would you say?

It’s a silly hypothetical because everyone knows that time travel doesn’t work like that, no one has ever successfully gone back that far in time (not without accidentally killing themselves - which says so much about the magical world) and there are rules about speaking with different versions of yourself.

But the question gets asked and Harry gives a silly answer at the time but later, when he’s lying in bed next to Ginny, he gives it some thought.

Would he go back to when he was still living at the Dursleys and give his younger self hope? Would he tell the version of him that hadn’t learned about the wizarding world that it would get better? Objectively that’s true but there was a lot more bad (and worse) to wade through before it got better.

Would he go back to his Hogwarts days and give a warning about Voldemort? What about Sirius? Could he do something, say something, that would save Sirius? Because that was the point, right? Go back in time and give your younger self an edge that could prevent something bad from happening.

But Harry had a lot of bad in his past, too much almost.

And now he couldn’t sleep for thinking up stupid what-if’s but he couldn’t seem to stop thinking about it.

Was still thinking about it when he went in to work the next day and so instead of saying hello like a normal person, the very first thing he said to Malfoy when they crossed paths in the lift was, “If you could travel back in time to when you were a kid and you could only tell yourself one thing, what would it be?”

They were alone on the lift and as weird a question as it was - he and Malfoy didn’t really talk much but they’d known each other for almost twenty years by this point, so, much like everyone else in Harry’s life, Malfoy just sort of rolls with the weirdness - Malfoy does give it some thought.

They arrive on Malfoy’s floor before he’s given an answer but just as the doors slide open he turns, expression serious and says, “I’d tell myself that falling in love with Harry Potter really is a bloody stupid idea but he should do it anyway.”

By the time Harry’s managed to form a vaguely coherent thought after that, the lift doors have closed and Malfoy is gone.

Harry doesn’t think about stupid what-if’s for the rest of the day.

He does think about Draco Malfoy.

"Totengräber" - Part 2

Part 2

A new biography sheds light onto even more private details of Dumbledore. Harry seeks out to find the truth...from the only one who knows anymore.

[iamnmbr3]

I keep thinking about the fact that hinny is kind of the opposite of drarry in the sense that Harry really shouldn't know that much about Draco but he does, while he should know a lot about Ginny but he doesn't.

Harry and Draco aren't friends and aren't even in the same House but Harry is so attuned to him that he remembers items Draco looked at in a shop more than 4 years previously, knows every detail of his appearance down to the exact shade of his eyes and skin, and can recognize him instantly just by the sound of his footsteps or a glimpse of him from far away. He also knows a lot about Draco's interests and beliefs and can usually tell his exact mood just by a look at his face.

Conversely, Harry and Ginny are in the same House and Harry has also spent every summer since second year living with her, plus holidays during 5th and 6th year. They also start dating in the end of sixth year. Despite this fact Harry has never even been in her room till 7th year and when he goes in, he shows no sign of recognition at the posters he sees there. You'd think, for example, that he would already know that she likes the Harpies and the Weird Sisters and thus think about how of course she has that in her room, or something. Who are her friends? Who knows? Certainly not Harry! What kind of wand does she have? Harry doesn't know. (Even though he does know both of these things about Draco). What does she want to do after graduating? How did she handle the trauma of what happened with Riddle in book 2? Does she have any insights from that that could be helpful? No idea. Harry's doesn't care and isn't interested in finding out.

Honestly, when he thinks of her it's mostly about her physical features. And even then, her eye color only gets mentioned once - in book 7, and we still don't get the specific shade. I'll buy that he feels lust for her. But love? Honestly I find myself once again thinking about the parallels between hinny and ron/lavender.

Consider:

Versus:

Kinda sounds like both the relationships being described are light on the talking side of things...

Also guess what the first thing Harry does after kissing Ginny, the alleged love of his life is? If you guessed "looks lovingly into her eyes" or "says something to her" you'd be wrong. Here's what goes down:

That's right guys, gals and nonbinary pals. He looks right over the top of Ginny's head (and isn't that a metaphor for their relationship right there - he's literally overlooking her to think about other stuff) to check in with Ron. His actual priority - the person whose opinion and regard he actually cares about.
