Did the Fleur bashing in “Of hearts and heroes” stop? I read it halfway through once, but had to stop because it wouldn’t stop mocking her, while making the OC and Tonks the better women in comparison. But with all the talk of this fic on Tumblr recently I kinda want to give it another chance? But the way Fleur was treated left me with a bad taste in my mouth, and made me really dislike the OC.

Hi, anon. It just kind-of trails off after she stops appearing. There’s a few references to her after that, but not much. 

I’d suggest giving it another read, just to see how it ends (not all the plot threads are tied up by the end, but some of the relationship drama does get resolved). 

(WARNING- SPOILERS)

I think the series was started between the releases of OOTP and HBP, which is why so many of the characters that had development in the last two books (Tonks, Bill and Fleur, just to name a few) feel so different to the canon characters. 

The Bill-and-Tonks-being-exes-who-can’t-stand-each-other thing really threw me. It’s one of the only things I don’t like about the series, since I always saw them as colleagues and good friends who’ve got each-other’s backs. It definitely portrays Fleur as an extension of the way she was presented in GOF; a rude, vain woman who thought way too highly of herself. I also didn’t like how jaded and miserable Tonks was; it seems so off from her canon personality. 

The OC (Adrianna) is okay as a plot device to get things in motion, but (aside from that) I don’t find her that interesting. Her relationship with Harry is nice to see, since it makes up a little for Sirius not being around in the later books. 

I mainly read ‘Of Hearts and Heroes’ for the progression of Hermione and Ron’s relationship; since it’s treated with more balance than it was the canon series did. Also, I love the last few chapters where Ron gets some appreciation and respect from people. 

Thanks for the message, anon.

Hermione: So, Harry… you’ve shared a dorm with Ron for several years now…

Harry: Yes. What about it?

Hermione: (blushing bright red) Well, have you seen…. I mean, I’m not saying you’ve been staring at him but….

Harry: (raising an eyebrow) What on earth are you on about?

Hermione: (now scarlet in the face) What’s Ron like… you know, down THERE?….I mean, he’s got big hands and feet… does he have anything else that’s…. you know….

Harry: (winking knowingly) Hermione, he’s not just big, he’s MAGNIFICENT.

okay but give me an au where ron, harry and hermione are having a sleepover where ron lies down, closes his eyes and dozes off. harry and hermione assume that he has fallen asleep and take the opportunity to talk about ron and confess that they have a crush on him. at first they are shy and nervous but then they get carried away and start gushing about how pretty his eyes are and hermione gets a tad jealous when harry tells her about how cute ron looks when he wakes up every morning with his hair all touseled. then they gush about his forearms every time he pulls his sleeves up and how handsome he looks in muggle clothing because most of the time it’s tight unlike his wizard robes. and ron is just laying there wide awake because he woke up the moment he heard his name. and his eyes are widened in shock. he’s sweating profusely and turning redder by the minute and questioning whether they know another ron weasley with blue eyes and red hair because i shit you not my best friends are in love with me 

i got carried away but someone draw or write this for me please. i’ll love you forever.

That sounds eerily similar to those ‘Harry falls in love with Ron’ headcanons I wrote a few months back. Are you sure you’re not reading my mind? 

oh my god i’m sorry if it sounds like i’m stealing your ideas! i just word vomitted everywhere but it’s probably inspired by you and @vivithefolle because you guys got me into shipping ron/harry.

No, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it! 🙂 I was just thinking that it sounded really good, and I wish I’d written my headcanons like that. Aw, thank you for saying that; I’m always happy to hear that I’ve helped someone get into shipping a certain pairing. 🙂

Hermione: For defending me to Malfoy back there. I mean, it’s not necessary or anything but just…thank you again. 

((OOC: Hermione gets to keep my dark circles because she was a hard working lady and so am I!))

@askanotherweasley

Ron: …It’s nothing. You’d do the same for me right? Anyway, the slimy git deserves whatever he gets.

Hermione: You and Harry. 

Ron: Just like Harry. 

Hermione: He’s like my brother and you’re well…you’re not. You’re more than that…or something…different…

Ron: *blushes for years*

Hermione: *slowly begins to move toward Ron*

*Ron slowly moves toward Hermione*

Important Question!

Does anyone know of any novels that are retellings of Mulan? Or honestly any stories where the female main character disguises herself as a guy, I’m just in the mood to read about a girl who doesn’t have to deal with being a girl. Ya feel?

Anyone?

I can’t think of any books, but there is a Ron x Hermione AU fanfic where Hermione disguises herself as a boy. It’s called ‘Owner of the Lonely Heart’. Just a warning; it is rated T. It’s mainly romance, but it does deal with the idea of not having to present as female to the world. Hope you like it. 🙂

Ok so I’m not going to deny that there is very little diversity in the original series. Let’s be honest here the series takes place in Great Britain in the 1990s where the population was about 90% White, 5% Asian, 3% Black and 2% other. I get that people want to see more diversity for the sake of diversity but I like that the student population of Hogwarts matches the demographic of the country it takes place in.

Seeing as Hogwarts didnt just serve Great Britan, but also other parts that did have bigger populations of POCs, this isnt a good excuse.

With @weasleyismyking540 on this; Hogwarts served Ireland, not to mention anyone from other countries who wanted to go to the school. As well as this, in more densely populated urban areas of the UK (such as London), numbers of POCs were far greater than those in more rural areas. Those statistics make an average of the UK population, meaning that areas with higher numbers of POCs would have been counter-balanced by rural areas with less non-white people. 

Heck, I grew up in a rural area of the UK during the late 1990s, and even my school classes had more non-white students than Hogwarts did during Harry’s six years there, even accounting for the smaller class sizes at Hogwarts.
