#hermione: emotional

[dramioneasks]

Hello, I was hoping you all could help me find a fic that seems to have disappeared from my bookmarks. It’s about how Hermione is not “recovering” from the war with a successful career like Harry who has become an auror mentored by Gawain Robards. She is asked to volunteer at a rehabilitation center north for war victims and for convicts. She ens up taking over the group made up of Malfoy, Parkinson, Nott, Bulstrode, and an OC I can’t remember. Her boss is a misogynist nightmare who turns out to be dirty and working for a corrupt Robards. Robards is angling to be Minister with the patronage of the Greengrass patriarch who seems to be some kind of king,asker in the background. Hermione brings her concerns to Harry and he dismisses and belittles her. She leaves and ends up in an empty investment apartment of Malfoy’s who has been reluctantly talking to her after meetings. They have become friendly and start to develop romantically. Then Malfoy is blackmailed into an engagement to Daphne Greengrass to save his mother from her infidelity being made public. Draco, Hermione, and Theo decide to keep looking for a way out and start diving into politics. Hermione decides to back Hestia Jones. Harry finally realizes everything that has been going on, including being set up as a fall guy for all the embezzlement from the ministry. Theo joins up with revolutionaries through his many middle-aged, nouveau riche, half blood paramours. In the end Narcissa decides to deal with her own consequences allowing Draco to be happy with Hermione. I have read this fic a few times and now I cannot find it anywhere. Please convince me I did not dream up this fic in my head multiple times.

Thank you so much,

Laura

The Light is No Mystery - masterofinfinities - M, 41 chapters, Words: 238,224 - Defeating one man was simpler than ripping out the roots of a centuries-old belief system. For Hermione Granger, agreeing to work in the Mental Rehabilitation Center is the latest attempt at stitching her life back together. For Draco Malfoy, finishing his court-mandated rehab has just gotten a lot harder. Soon, Hermione and Draco find themselves in the middle of a storm of new politics, power struggles, and pureblood culture. But a growing connection between them might not only change the course of their lives, but also the future of the Wizarding World.

What’s something about Ron Weasley as a character that you think is underrated?

That Ron is really, really funny, and that his sense of humour isn't a sign of immaturity or gratuitous comic relief for the reader's sake, but an absolutely essential part of what both Harry and Hermione value in Ron as a character as an antidote to their own tendencies (moodiness and seriousness/anxiousness, respectively). Ron makes bad days bearable to get through for the people around him. I think people mistake Ron making jokes for a lack of emotional awareness, but I actually think it’s the opposite. By the series end Ron is literally the most emotionally well-adjusted of the central canon characters. That line about Peeves’ poem right at the end of DH when the war is won (“Really gives a feeling for the scope and tragedy of the thing, doesn't it?”) is a) brilliant and b) such a great manifesto for how Ron’s outlook on the world — not humour as emotional avoidance, but humour that sits within all the grief and pain and suffering, and makes it that bit more bearable. So yeah Ron Weasley’s love for chuckles is Important and Overlooked and I will keep saying it til I am blue in the face

time of day where i think about how ron and hermione are canonly in love in every universe. it doesn’t matter if theyre not married. it doesn’t matter if the world has gone to shit. the only reason they don’t get together in every universe and are quietly yearning is because they believed their love was one-sided, and they each held that belief for DECADES !! aghhhh !!!

[goldentriowins]

Hermione made one ((1)) comment about Ron having the emotional range of a teaspoon and the fandom just ran with it like indisputable fact

[pottermagiczz]

Lol, it got me! 😂😂

Writing emotions when you have none.

I am nearly done with my slowest Prisoner of Azkaban reread in the world and I am, once again, upset at how many people in the fandom don’t like (or worse, fully hate on) Ron Weasley. He is SO GOOD. And he genuinely does the absolute most in the shrieking shack scene, holy shit. I’m talking falling down strategically on Sirius’ wand arm, “if you want to kill Harry you’ll have to kill us first” then DOUBLING DOWN “Did you hear what I said?” (Don’t even get me STARTED on how they tossed this line away to Hermione in the movie I am absolutely fuming), hexing Snape, volunteering IMMEDIATELY to CHAIN himself to a MASS MURDERER because he takes it as a personal affront that the pet rat he’s loved and cared for his entire childhood turned out to be a hideously evil human being. Did I mention he does all that with a severely broken leg?? Like he is white as a sheet, gripping Harry painfully just to stay upright, about to pass out at times and he STILL does everything in his power to protect his people. He is so so good I love him so much.

Hermione Granger sitting and sobbing on the staircase after the Yule Ball all alone because the person she loves more than anything in the whole world has hurt her feelings, and she has nobody to talk to about it.

Unforgivable

Rated M

Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy

A decision made in the heat of battle, a split second choice between life and death, leaves Hermione Granger shaken to her core. When reality hits, comfort comes to her from the most unexpected of places, only to be taken away just as quickly.

Terrified to talk to her friends or even sleep, Hermione struggles to cope with what's happened. Not just during the battle, but the entire war. And this time, she seeks comfort out in the form of a grey-eyed, blond-haired boy who's about to stand trial for crimes that would send him to Azkaban for the rest of his life.

She's determined to save him from that fate, but is she doing it because she truly believes in a second chance for him, or because she wants a second chance for herself?

chapter fifteen; cold, cold heart

Time slowed as it usually did when he stared at her, the band and jovial laughter fading away until the only thing Hermione could see was Draco’s eyes. They were blank then. Not cold – empty. A thick, neverending sheet of arctic snow where angry glaciers had once been. Somehow, that was worse.

“Don’t we want him to think we’re–” I can’t promise you happiness. “–getting along?”

He studied her carefully, his eyes scanning every inch of her face for things she knew he could find if he so chose. She didn't know what it was like to have someone slip into her mind, but Hermione had always assumed it might hurt.

“Is that what we’re doing?” Draco asked. “Getting along?”

“We could be,” Hermione countered, leaning toward him almost instinctually. It wasn’t lost on her that he didn’t pull away. “If you’d let us.”

Hi, I am looking for a short (maybe one shot?) fic where Hermione works with Theo and they have just had a big success/won a case and he kisses her. She is surprised and is married to Draco. She goes home and tells Draco what happened and he is not surprised because he has assumed they have been having an affair due to how much time they have spent together at work and how absent Hermione has been. She is shocked and vows to do better and they make up.

Chasing Forever - floorcoaster - M, one-shot - After a shocking turn of events, Hermione worries her marriage isn’t as strong as she thought.

The Teacher

by SpaceWall on Ao3

Dumbledore hires Remus Lupin as a teaching assistant for Defence Against the Dark Arts. To everyone’s surprise, he isn’t fired, maimed, murdered, or otherwise removed from the job. Severus Snape does not approve of this development.

--

“Here to pick up your friend?” Aberforth demanded, tapping a glass with his wand and setting it sparkling clean.

“Not my friend,” Severus said, just as Lupin said,

“Haven’t got any friends.”

Hm, yes I am currenly back to being obsessed with the 'older' tropes, so get ready for this amazingly written fix-it taking place around philosophers stone.

favourite tropes included are:

fix-it

enemies to friends

Remus is the DADA Professor

exept not really

adults actually being helpfull? (it's more likely than you think)

Sirius gets out of Azkaban

we care about the kids here

they get taken seriously siriusly

as always, leave lots of love and kudos to the author and have an amazing rest of the week <3

Unpopular opinion, Harry Potter doesn't have a "Hero complex" or a "Saving people thing", he is just a distrustful traumatized kid.

Implying he has a hero complex would be saying that he does the saving thing to feed his ego. He doesn't do things to feed his ego or fulfill a urge. He only took things into his own hands when the adults failed him, he always tried to go to the authorities before acting.

In first year, he first tried to go to Dumbledore to warn him about the philosopher's stone, McGonagall dismissed his worries about the stone.

In second year, he and Ron went to Lockhart for help. Why didn't Harry go to McGonagall? Remember that McGonagall dismissed him during his first year, his trust in McGonagall was already dead.

The thing in third year happened spontaneously, Harry didn't have anyone to ask for help close by, so he took things into his own hands.

In fourth year there is the famous incident where Hermione tells him he had a saving people thing, when Harry saved Gabrielle in the second task. But remember Harry's perspective, the egg poem literally said "But past an hour, the prospect's black; too late, it's gone, it won't come back." Harry didn't have the best track record with adults until this time, so he would obviously think that the hostages would be left to die.

Fifth year, is the year where all the adults failed him. First he was isolated with his relatives with only his trauma keeping him company. Then he found out almost everyone in wizarding britain hated him because the ministry had a vendetta against him. He was abused for the entirety of the year and almost no one gave him emotional support. Even then, when he received the vision of Sirius, he tried to go to adults as well, but also the adults he found trustworthy were all unavailable, so he decided to take matters on his own hands.

Then in sixth year no one believed him Malfoy was a death eater, and the one that believed him had his own bizarre plans for him.

Then in seventh year he was on the run.
