    Rating: T
    Genre: Comedy

    Authors note at start

    "This is just a short one shot I did with a friend. Beware those of you who ship H/G...this is most definitely making fun of the ship. And Ginny lovers...well...Ginny isn't shown in the best light in this fic. For those of you who do read, I hope you enjoy it! And please, review."

    EDIT by Minion, January 23, 2016:

    That's stupid on so many levels, but amusing all the same.

    That was pretty fun, a good parody of the ridiculous HBP logic (if you can call it logic).

    Soon he heard footsteps and saw the shadow of who could only be described as an angel and friend he had known for the longest time... that is until that person came into the light and he realized it was just Hermione.
    Haha, I like this style. Bait them in and then sink the ship in a blast of splintery wood.;)

    “Harry,” Hermione said, approaching him. “I am temporarily in character, and my main concern isn't making Ron jealous so I can't help but wonder…what do you see in Ginny?"

    While funny, this hints at a bit of the authors bitterness, which is pretty annoying all the same.

    “Don’t you mean Riddle?” Hermione raised an eyebrow at Harry.
    “Same thing,” Harry shrugged. “Anyway, she was possessed by Satan, and that’s why she couldn’t get me a gift.”

    -laughs his ass off-.

    "Alas, fifth year…"


    Hermione cut in: "Harry you aren't Dumbledore."


    Harry frowned "I'm not?"

    Absolutely priceless.

    “It was the monster,” Harry sighed.


    “Monster?” Hermione looked at him suspiciously.


    “Sorry! Not monster! THERE WAS NO MONSTER!” Harry exclaimed frantically. “Love. I meant love!”


    For what seems like a Harmonian, I think this author's hit one of DLP's veins.

    “I’m sorry,” Ginny replied angrily, poking him in the shoulder. “I don’t believe that’s redeemable at Hogsmeade. I want something materialistic. I’m all about materialistic.”

    :twisted:

    "SHE MUST BE IMMUNE!"

    Hahaha.

    That was fucking fantastic. By humor standards, it's a 4 max, and was a pretty nice read.

    Quick, short, to-the-point and funny. Definetly worth the read.

    Final rating: 4/5
    [3.5/5 for those who don't like comedy fics much]

    That was extremely funny but the ending was shit. She is such a H/Hr fangirl she couldn't let it end like that... Ugh, terrible.

    4/5 though, funny shit.

    H/Hr is a bit better than H/G in my opinion. Amusing fic. I like how it makes fun of the HBP logic of H/G... I mean every year nothing really happens between the two in terms of relationship so 6th year rolls around and all of a sudden:

    Harry: ZOMG GINNY LIEK UR MY SOULMATE!

    and vice versa...
    4/5

    It was fairly amusing at parts and just plain in others. An okay little fic.

    Humorous and of course big points for mocking Ginny and whipped-lil-bitch!Harry.

    But all the reasons Ginny is terribly annoying were just as ever-present in the horribly annoying portrayal of Hermione.

    It was about as compelling an argument as watching George rip into Fred and point out all of Fred's nauseating faults. It's literally annoying love interest Hermione portrayed the same gag-inducing way annoying love interest Ginny is presented by most Ginny fans.

    But the irony of it made me smile. Good for a quick, short laugh. I'm just not sure I'm amused for the reasons the author intended. 3/5.

    Bloody hilarious.
    This is the first non-smutty one-shot i feel i might actually return to.
    The H/G ship needs ridicule, although i believe that is the only one who'll eventually reach harbor.
    Ridicule away, and good on yez.

    A good laugh but nothing special. Deserves a 3/5 for the little laugh I had.
