Pairing: Severus Snape/Hermione Granger
Rating: Mature/R

Synopsis: Post-DH, EWE. Six years after the war, Hermione discovers a neglected and abused population with no place in a post-Voldemort world, and the man who stayed behind to pick up the pieces. A story of reconciliation, redemption, and above all, love.

My View: I started reading this story from about three or four chapters in and I loved it. This is a unique plot which can be difficult in the HP fanfiction universe. Hermione finds out that there is a group of children being horribly neglected and abused. These are the children of the Death Eaters. Too young to defend themselves, they have been cast aside to be used and abused. I just wanted to hug those poor children! The story is not just about their road out of the depths of hell, but many of the original HP cast. Severus, feeling the need to redeem himself, takes it upon himself to care for those lost children, but he is only one man. This is the story of how these children cause Hermione, Harry, Severus, Luna, Neville, and Ginny to open up to the possibility of all things especially love and forgiveness. It’s a touching, tender piece that will have you laugh and cry all at the same time. It’s unique plot will reel you in while the way the author writes these characters will keep you reading.

Excellent work! I am just so happy that’s it’s done so I could put it up here. I have been unable to post many recommendations since I refuse to recommend on my blog an unfinished piece. Sounds harsh, but it’s because I want to recommend completed pieces and so I can give a thorough honest review.

Bookends Chapter 1, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net by Selmak

Synopsis: There’s a new Weasley on the way! Arthur’s the dad and Hermione’s the mum! How do the Weasleys react?

Pairing: Hermione/Arthur W.

Rating: M/R (suggestions and language… it’s not that bad people!)

My View: Now I know I have confessed to strange pairings in the past and this is one of those, but this story of two lonely people trying to solace and love together is heartwarming and tender. I was surprised at how short yet how wonderful it was. After ten years of marriage, Ron and Hermione divorce so that Ron can live with the love of his life, Harry Potter. Broken and childless she hatches a plan. She will go to a pub and pick up a man! Any man to do the job. Meanwhile Arthur who is so horribly lonely after watching his beloved wife’s memory slip away, he goes to a pub just be surrounded by some noise for a few hours. Quickly, these two lonely broken hearted people share something incredibly sweet. What will the Weasleys have to say about this?

I love Arthur, Hermione, George, Percy, and Angelina in this story. Teddy is really sweet too. These characters are well written and while the story isn’t that long there is nothing wasted here. It may not sound like a pairing you would normally read and for that I will agree with you, but I have found that sometimes the strangest pairings make the most interesting stories.

That is my very first banner. I am trying my hand at GIMP (it’s a tough one). I hopefully will have my banner for my own story up next.

IN HONOR OF GUY FAWKES DAY: Rules of Conduct Chapter 1: Oops, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net

Rules of Conduct Chapter 1: Oops, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net by BittyBlueEyes

Synopsis: A potion study gone terribly wrong causes Hermione and Fred to see each other in a whole new way. Rated M for language and possible suggestive themes. sorry no smut here *Complete*

Rating: M/R (for suggestions)

Pairing: Fred/Hermione

My View: Gryffindors are celebrating their victory in Quidditch when Fred tries to bring Hermione into the party. Hermione is working on a special potions project when Fred accidentally takes a swig of it. The potion brings about a wacky version of Freak Friday that is sure to have you laughing out loud. I loved this story which is why this author is also on my favorite author’s list. I love magical mishap stories. The plot is outrageous and hilarious. Hermione learns about how to be a guy and play Fred even better than Fred while Fred learns how to be a girl and a better Hermione than even Hermione. Meanwhile no one can find out their little secret. Hijinks and hilarity ensues and in honor of Guy Fawkes Day, I say…

Enjoy!

Just a Harmless Joke Chapter 1: Just a Harmless Joke, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net

Just a Harmless Joke Chapter 1: Just a Harmless Joke, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net by CrazyGirl47

Synopsis: Fred accidentally starts rumors that he’s with Hermione, and encourages them for a laugh. When she find out, she’s furious. Now the two of them are fighting to outembarrass and annoy one another… but they’re also fighting their feelings for each other.

Rating: T/PG-13

My View: I have always wanted to write a story like this. I loved how this plot just snowballed from one crazy event to the other. Fred finds Hermione in the common room asleep and somehow (not sure with the staircase to the girls dorms, but just go with it) gets her up to bed and unintentionally awaking her roommates. Being the twin we all know and love he decides to play around with the naive little fifth years. These Gabby Gossips then start the rumor mill a churning as Hermione gets revenge and everyone gets involved. Fantastic read. I just wish someone would do art for the scene in Snape’s lab. That would be awesome!!! For some reason I seem to be addicted to these Fred/Hermione pairing stories. There is a YouTube video out there which is pretty decent. Enjoy!

Love in the Time of Death Eaters Chapter 1: The Plan, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net

Love in the Time of Death Eaters Chapter 1: The Plan, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net by gnrkrystle

Synopsis: Hermione makes a plan to lose her virginity. When she offers it to Draco, it changes everything. With a new prophesy and a war approaching, what will this change mean for the Golden Trio and the outcome of the war?

Rating: M/R (Sex in the beginning and the end, not too graphic)

My View: I noticed that I haven’t given any love to my Draco/Hermione pairing. I thought this would be a good starting off point. The others I have are either PWP or Drama. At first I thought this was going to be a silly little, ‘I Loose My Virginity’ story, but it turned out to have much more depth than that. The author does warn that these characters are out of character (OOC), but I find that I enjoyed Draco and Hermione this way. There is a bit prophecy, lots of love, bits of mystery, and a bit of humor. This isn’t what I would call a serious story, but I will say that is was entertaining and enjoyable to read. If the sex stuff makes you squimish, you can always skim the first two chapters. The third is where the plot thickens and the relationship cauldron gets a stir ^^ I like Severus in this especially because of his and Hermione’s friendship. I do like these two if not together in a relationship than at least friends.

The New Mrs Weasley Chapter 1: The Big News, a harry potter fanfic – FanFiction.Net by Omens

Rated: T/PG-13

Synopsis: The Weasleys have kept a secret from their kids… they are getting married and the parents have already chosen! Fred quickly hatches a plan with the smartest girl he knows to avoid this horrible marriage contract his parents have put him in. So what must he do? Marry someone and fast! Hermione reluctantly agrees and hijinks ensue. Everything will work out just fine… if they can survive one year.

My view: I adore this story. It was so sweet the way these two came together… plots and setups Bwahahaha. Fred and Hermione are ADORABLE! And just make sure you have a box of tissues for the “I can’t make you love me” chapter. It nearly crushed me 😥 I liked the voice and tone of the overall story. Not too sexual in nature. More like suggestions which is nice, because it offers more romance. There is plenty of art and fan videos out there. I’ve listed two here.
