    Though I've dislike H/Hr, I would love to read a well-written relationship between the two, mostly because I am curious as to what a decent author could make of the pairing. There are good stories involving almost every pairing (including obscure characters like Daphne, Tracey and Padma) but despite being the most popular pairing in fanfiction, there are very few H/Hr stories that don't make you want to pull your hair off.

    I feel similarly about the HBP thing and the countless bad H/Hr fics so i change it from give me 5 reasonable reasons why they should be together to link me to 7 good 4/5 fics with H/hr

    @guy who posted after me
    3)The term Harmony
    4)Don't forget Hermione outwitting adults decades older than her or re-discovering obscure or hidden ancient magic that no-one else could
    5)Hermione complaining about the wizards lack of logic and how the wizarding world is "Barbaric"

    3)Feel free to invent a better nickname for the pairing. Don't ask me, I lack the creativity to do so.
    4)Wasn't that about how Riddle found the way to haxxor his soul to This Side?
    5)As if that wouldn't be the truth, although mostly about the feudalist shithole fanon makes the Wizarding World into.

    It still wouldn't be, she's been knocking wizards' logic long before multiple marriage contracts. But at the crux of things, wizards don't need it like Muggles do.

    Haven't read that fic in years - didn't even realise it was completed. It was a very fun read, though, with enough moments to leave you going '... oh. Sheeei...'

    It's complete. There's even a sequel with an awesome hook, but it hasn't been updated in ages. The WBA thread is a bit further along than the ffnet version IIRC. I keep hoping that one of those days Silens dumps a 500k word update. Christmas is coming. Guess I'm writing Santa a letter this year...

    It's not that they don't need it at all. Just not to the extent muggles do. When you can build houses like the Burrow without the whole thing collapsing because magic! logic rides in the back seat.

    Well if a big tree fell on a friend with muggle logic a wizard would conjure a large stone/boulder, and a plank then make it unbreakable before conjuring a boulder to shift the tree off his friend, like a lever while a wizard with "no" logic will just Wingardium Leviosa, swish and flick

    You mix up logic with having one's head up the ass.

    That's not an absence of logic, it's just that wizards have more tools at their disposal and thus more possible options when it comes to overcoming obstacles.

    Logic is a tool for solving problems. If all your problems can be removed with a flick of your wand, what need do you have for logic?

    Becaue you need logic to choose the appropriate spell.

    Wizard logic is just simpler than muggle logic rather than absent.

    Let's go through these!

    Poison Pen: trash bin.

    Domino Effect: almost recommended, but 2007 so probably trash now.

    Do not meddle: Almost recommended, 2006

    Rise of the Wizards: trash bin.

    Vampire Clan Saleio: trash bin.

    The Birth of Evil: Huh, this one is in the library, albeit from 2008. It should be in Almost Recommended, as it's dropped to 3/5 @Palindrome

    Brave New World: Almost Recommended, 2005.

    Son of the Dragon: Almost Recommended, 2005.

    Junior Inquisitor: Trash Bin. Also, my least favorite story of all time.


    The rest haven't been submitted here, but I'm willing to bet they have the same degree of "quality".


    So that this isn't wholly a negative exercise, I'll also recommend:

    Traitor's Son by Sesc (WbA). Also, anything else by Sesc generally fits.

    Applied Cultural Anthropology.

    The Changeling and Circular Reasoning (aspects).

    Second Renegade Cause, and its aborted sequel.

    For non-HP, I'd add the Sudden Contact series.
