:awesome
Could do without the slash though - despite RHPS having slash in it already.



A plot bunny i'm interested in - is actually one of the first plot-holes encountered in Canon.
"I've only done a few spells myself, and they've all worked for me!"
I.e. Hermione doing underage magic somehow.
What if Ron was all like "Yeah right, it's illegal to do magic underage noob"?

Where would canon tangent from there?

 

A couple thoughts

1- No one has really written about the Grangers in general, or of them getting attacked. I mean, they're the parents of the brightest witch of the age, who so happens to be a mudblood. I was pretty suprised that Voldy/Bellatrix/Dolohov/Malfoys and the like didn't go after them the moment they broke after Azkaban, or even in the 6th book, considering the targets value.

Then again, I'm just basing Mrs.Granger off my own dentist, who happens to be a middle-aged female with killer legs who knows it and always shows them off, and flusters me on purpose. Saucy minx.

 

Where is your Avatar from? I think I have seen it before.

 

SNL episode where Lindsay Lohan played Hermione....back when she was undeniably sexy as hell.

The skit is "meh".....

Why on earth would the DE's go after her parent's pre-book 6? The odds of any of them giving a shit about Hermione Granger, are roughly zero. She's a Hogwarts student, not in any way a real threat to them. Hell I doubt most of them have ever heard of her. Same in Book 6, the only reason Hermione is important whatsoever is that she's Harry's friend. Kidnapping/killing her might make some degree of sense. They have much bigger fish to fry, like killing Dumbledore and taking over a country.

Also, the main reason the Granger's aren't written about. No one cares about them. They're muggle dentists and irrelevant characters in a story of magic. The reader doesn't care about them.

 

The average reader, anyway. I remember seeing one about the Grangers getting their memories back or something. Boring as hell, but they have been written.

 

I meant it as in

Kidnap Grangers=

Hermione wants to get them back

With Hermione comes Harry and Ron who wouldnt let her go by herself

A sirius in ootp situation

Besides, they were taking out random muggles and some muggleborns at the point, getting the parents of the brightest witch in hogwarts would have more of a impact(her name was all over the papers in 4th year/fiasco at the ministry end of 5th/ plus pettigrew probably told voldy everything about harry's life and his friendships).

 

"Harry, I have to go save my parents. I can't ask you to come with me, you're too important in the fight against Voldemort. Just know that I love you."

"'kay, cool beans." - Goes back to playing chess.

 

Yah, as if JKR's Harry would do that:facepalm

 

Hey, JKR's Dumbledore ended up having a secret liking for cockmeat sandwiches and I didn't see that coming either.

I don't even know what to believe anymore! ;__;

 

Actually, I'd of expected that response from Ron.

Then again, the last two books...eh.

 

As if JKR's Voldemort would think of a plan like kidnapping the mudblood's parents.

Remember, canon Voldemort probably would have thought he'd be doing the bitch a favor.

 

Words of truth have been spoken

Unlike many, I'm fine with Ron/Hermione, no complaints or misgivings there.

Harry/Ginny is mortal sin.

Tonks/Lupin is

 

How did this get to be about pairings? It isn't that any of these pairings inherently suck. It's that the development of them was itself problematic.

 

The development of both the characters and the relationships themselves are what ultimately made the canon pairings both flawed and unrealistic.

Hermione and Ron's personalities are simply just incompatible, and they just don't match. Harry was the binding element between the two - without him, they wouldn't of even been friends. Normally, a relationship like that would be very rocky at best, with constantly bickering, fighting and break-ups. If by some miracle it did progress to marriage, it'd either end up in divorce, or they'd both be very unhappy for the rest of their lives. Both parties would also lean on Harry for moral support quite a bit, further complicating things.

We were never shown any real character development with Ginny, so the reader doesn't really know if she actually grew out of her 'Harry worshipping' mindset. The sixth book was a rude shock because their 'relationship' and Harry's 'feeling' came out of nowhere, and that coupled with Hermione's sudden and abrupt change of character is what fueled the whole 'Love Potion' cliche seen so much in fan fiction.

Simply put? Ginny is seen as the spoiled brat who finally got what she wanted after pining for so long. We were never shown any development to prove otherwise.

Lupin and Tonks? Aside from the age-gap (which, wouldn't make much of a difference between wizards/witches, really), they're a whole 'generation' apart; different attitudes, etc. None the less, I do see this pairing as being plausible, especially if they had gotten close over the course of their work for the Order, and if/or she had a fetish for older guys.

All in all? The final pairings were shit, unrealistic, and a 15 year old female (non-slash) fan fiction writer could of done better in that aspect of the series.

 

I've got a question for an idea I am working on regarding the whole pureblood vs halfblood vs muggleborn thing. Hopefully someone can help clear this up for me.

Pureblood + Pureblood = Pureblood
Pureblood + Muggleborn = Halfblood (example: Harry)
Pureblood + Muggle = Halfblood (example: Voldemort)
Muggle + Muggle = Muggleborn
Halfblood + Halfblood = ?
Pureblood + Halfblood = Pureblood?

Of course there are numerous other variations of this that I didn't list. I am mostly trying to decide how I think magical society would categorize the different scenarios.

 

Pureblood.
Mixedblood.
Mudblood.

Why'd you need that anyway? If Malfoy wants to insult someone, he won't first politely ask for the correct heritage, he's gonna call you 'Mudblood', 'Bloodtraitor' or whatever anyway.

 

Well partly I was just wondering if there was an additional term that I had forgotten about. I don't remember ever seeing the term mixed blood, for example.

 

From what I remember (could be wrong), you're not considered Pureblood unless you've got at least two generations of wizards in your family. So,

Halfblood1 + Halfblood2 = Halfblood3
Halfblood3 + Halfblood4 = Pureblood

And so on.

 

Purebloods = people with at least two generations of magic in their family.
Everyone else = Cuntbloods.

See? Very simple.
