Why is Regulus x Remus called Moonwater?

[theeslytherinslut]

People always talk ab Wolfstar and Drarry but like why aren’t we talking about Scorbus???? Now THAT is a ship I can get behind. It’s barely even subtext at this point, I mean the thought of Scorpius alone is what got Albus through the dementors. They’re meant to be and they don’t even know it cause they’re ‘best friends’

Giving me Destiel vibessss

Defending Harmione part 3!

I'm back to defend my fav ship!

I have a part 1 where I debunked some of the most popular arguments against Harmione and in part 2 I debunked the "siblings" argument. Time for part 3! This one is going to be about a video on YouTube titled "Why Harry and Hermione Wouldn't Work - Harry Potter Video Essay" and I'll go over the points the YouTuber made and try my best to debunk them. 💘

Also, I accept that there's still a few minor flaws to the ship, but these little flaws and obstacles make every ship beautiful. 🥀

1. "It would be too cliche. The hero gets the smartest and prettiest girl as a trophy."

This is a fair argument to the whole story itself, but it doesn't defeat the ship in any way. If you put it in other words: "Harry and Hermione wouldn't work together because they're both very powerful and great and that would make it very cliche." That's silly. But even that isn't right. The situation isn't exactly how people make it seem.

Hermione isn't the all-perfect girl, the most beautiful, the most intelligent, everything perfect. She has flaws, many flaws (which weren't portrayed in the movies) and she is a very realistic character. She is intelligent and productive, she is a perfectionist in a way, but that also causes her to be very anxious and stressed out at moments, she puts too much pressure on herself, and she's also insecure! Who said Hermione was the most beautiful one? Just because Emma Watson was gorgeous doesn't mean Hermione was too. Of course, Harry thought she was pretty according to OotP, but it's clearly stated in the books that she wasn't the prettiest girl in the series. Fleur, Cho and even Ginny were much more beautiful. Hermione is NOT the perfect superstar.

You might say that even if she's not perfect, she's still the female lead. But the actual "cliche" part is about the hero ending up with the perfect superstar and not necessarily with the other lead hero.

So back to Hermione being the brightest witch of her age. But her being very bright and powerful doesn't make her a bad match for Harry. Ginny was very smart in fact, she was beautiful and funny, very sassy and confident. Why isn't she considered as a trophy for Harry?

The point is, NO, Hermione is NOT a perfect all-star and their relationship wouldn't even have to be built on the hero and the heroine being perfect, their relationship would be built on trust and loyalty.

2. "Harry and Hermione's relationship prove that a male and a female can be friends without having a romantic relationship, so we shouldn't ruin that."

Yes, it's truly a beautiful demonstration that a male and a female can be best friends, but this says nothing that's actually against the ship, just like the previous one. If you put this in other words, it would sound like this: "Harry and Hermione were amazing best friends so they can't date." I understand that their friendship was amazing, but that in no way means their relationship would be bad. Of course, you don't have to see their relationship as romantic just because they were good friends, you can see it as platonic, but I'm just saying that the argument makes no sense.

Besides, was Hermione really the only female friend Harry had? What about Luna? What about Ginny (if you consider Harry and Hermione start dating and Ginny remains a friend, she was clearly very included after OoTP)? What about Ron's friendship with Hermione? What about Ron and Luna's friendship? What about Neville and Luna's friendship? What about Harry's quidditch teammates (Alicia, Katie, Angelina)? Why does everyone always make it seem like Hermione was the only female friend he had? Surely she was his only BEST friend but then Ron and Hermione were best friends too...

3. "It ruins the dynamic of the story. Harry's relationships were never meant to be the main focus, just a demonstration of his maturity. While Ron and Hermione's relationship developing in the background is nice to see."

I really didn't want to drag Romione into this because it's my second favorite ship from the entire Harry Potter universe. Just a disclaimer that anything I say here is not meant to bash Romione and hate on it because I'm truly a big fan of them and their love is undeniable.

I also mention Ginny and Harry's relationship in this and I have to say they're ALSO one of my favorite ships in the entire hp universe so no hate to them either. 🥺

Okay, so, basically every point he made in his video was about the story and not their actual relationship. The title is wrong, this doesn't show why Harry and Hermione wouldn't work, he's just saying how it would change the storyline. But I think we are all already aware that Harry and Hermione getting together would change a lot in the story. But I'll go over it anyways.

First of all, I don't entirely agree that Harry's relationships weren't the main focus, I mean half of the half-blood prince was about him developing feelings for Ginny-

But anyways, if Harry and Hermione were going to end up together, it would still happen in a similar way. We have all read the beautiful moments they shared together throughout the books, and those would've been enough for them to develop their feelings, but just not realize it until the last 2 books. We wouldn't have to add in any scenes that would change the story massively to lead them to falling in love, honestly, we had enough already in the books. So the only thing that would change would be probably Harry not developing feelings for Ginny, but instead slowly realizing his feelings for Hermione. Simple!

And as for Romione, I agree, the slowburn was beautiful, but we could've had the same thing, same development but as a friendship! Ron's character arc is one of my favorite things about the series and nobody can convince me that it wasn't amazing. Instead of Ron changing for Hermione to become her lover, we could have Ron changing for her to become a better friend. His character arc remains the same and Ron Hermione become best friends. Of course this would change many scenes and the storyline would've changed a lot as I already mentioned, but hey! At least we wouldn't have Ron haters who bash him for mAkInG hErMiOnE cRy. 🤡 And JKR could add different scenes instead of the ones hinting at Ron and Hermione's romantic relationship. We still would have had a beautiful story with a VERY SIMILAR dynamic.

4. "Harry wasn't the kind of guy Hermione was looking for. She already made a mistake with dating Viktor Krum, and she realized she didn't need a hero. She was a hero herself. Although Harry ≠ Viktor, they have very similar qualities like: bravery, loyalty and they are both heroes."

This is probably the best argument of the entire *almost* 5 minute video.

But there's still so much wrong with this.

Bravery and loyalty are literally Ron's best traits lmao. That's exactly why she chose him. 🤣 Every Romione shipper knows she doesn't value intelligence and looks, she values bravery, courage, loyalty. That's exactly what she said in the first book and stuck by it until the end.

She didn't need a hero? She was a hero herself? - Then why are we forgetting that Ron was also a hero? Everyone always makes it seem like Harry and Hermione are the mighty heroes and Ron is their goofy sidekick. He was also a hero! I believe he is even on the chocolate frog cards (correct me if I'm wrong)! And we all know that's the biggest flex. 😌

But besides that, Ron and Harry are very similar in many ways. They're both brave, they're both loyal, they both like to have fun, they're both lazy, they're both amazing at quidditch, they're both talented (Harry is very powerful and he's good at DADA, while Ron can do many impressive things like mimic voices and come up with quick solutions even when he's under pressure and his life depends on it!). So if Hermione liked one and thought he was her "type", then there's a hight possibility she liked the other too. In canon, she only likes Ron obviously, but I'm saying that since Ron and Harry are so similar and share the same traits, Hermione could've chosen Harry too.

Anyways, that's all that the video included, it was very nice hearing different opinions and I actually wasn't writing this out of anger like I wrote the post about defending Romione against *the ridiculously stupid* arguments that Dr*mione shippers like to use.

Once again, if it isn't clear, I STAN both Romione and Hinny, but Harmione definitely could've worked. :)

Thanks for reading! ~ Lia <3

🍸 pls! i haven't asked for one of these in a while but i have full faith in u <3 (i'd like one for the hp fandom, any era, and i'm a straight female :))

i’m a gryffindor, enfj, and libra and when i ask people to describe me in one word, they usually say bubbly, righteous, or fiery!

i love to read, dance, listen to music, hang out with friends, and volunteer! i'd also like to travel a lot more in the future because i know quite a few languages. (mandarin, english, french, and some spanish!)

i’m very much an overachiever, and there are a lot of expectations on me to do well, but sometimes all that pressure gets really stressful & i also tend to hide sadness with jokes :( i'm also very stubborn and a perfectionist, so it's hard for me to compromise/let go sometimes.

i wouldn't say i'm super adventurous, but i will try almost anything at least once!

lastly: i'm chinese-canadian, 5'4", with dark brown hair + freckles!

thank u sm in advance!

I ship you with...

I mean yeah OBVIOUSLY it had to be James Potter, but hear me out: it's not a cop-out, even though I know you love him, because some things are just meant to be... like you and James.

He’d be the best at making you feel at ease and generally finding the right words to calm you down. He’s not the kind of person to be anxious over his grades, yet for some reason always comes in the very firsts of the class, and that lowkey infuriates you because he spends all his time pulling pranks and then effortlessly gets O’s? how? but his detachment is really effective in helping you take your mind off things. Like, if James says it’s not the end of the world if you don’t finish the paper tonight, then it’s probably not.

He’d also be SO impressed at you for being able to speak so many languages! He’d ask you to teach him, and at first he’d be a genuinely attentive pupil, but once thing he’s not really good at is patience, so when he inevitably finds out that languages don’t come magically to you unless you study and practice them, he declares he’d much rather hear you tell him sweet words in all these foreign languages he doesn’t understand.

And you seize the opportunity to playfully insult him, because he has no idea what you’re saying at all.

“Espèce d’andouille, j’ai jamais vu un idiot pareil” “Ah, music to my ears”

A game Sirius joins soon enough, because he speaks and understands French as well and he thinks it’s the funniest thing in the world

Though James doesn’t understand why Sirius out of all people is calling him sweet names in French all of a sudden, and why you’re both laughing out of your damn minds, but oh well. Maybe Sirius finally succumbed to his charm <3

“Yeah, you keep telling yourself that, golden boy.”

Legilimency - Dramione 

Words: 929 

A/N: this was written pretty quickly so I apologise in advance for the grammar it should be okay though.

Warnings: angst, verbal conflict and mentions of the war/death eaters. 

Hermione crept down the rows of books watching the blond from a distance only just keeping him in sight. She attempted to make herself as quiet and small as possible. Despite her efforts her thoughts shouted around her head and she knew her cover was blown. 

Hermione stepped into the light slightly, his grey eyes gleamed in the darkness. She shivered at the thought of capture but she needed to do it. She gently raised her wand.

"Legilimens!" Hermione yelled with as much courage as she could muster but Draco held his ground. His eyes flitted around as he forced her out of his mind. Draco stepped slowly across the library floor closing in on her, Hermione nervously walked backwards until she felt the leather of the spell books behind her. Worriedly she noticed he was still coming at her. 

He had a terrifying almost deranged glint in his eye. Hermione was internally beating herself up, Harry had warned her it was a risky situation but no she had gone anyway. She should have told Harry where she had gone. 

As soon as he was close to her he grabbed her wrists. He stared deep into her eyes intense and unflinching. 

"Don't you ever try and get inside my head." Draco snarled. For the longest time she stood there matching his intense stare with her honey eyes, his grip crushing her wrists. Finally he softened slightly his mask cracking. "It's too dark for you." He whispered. 

Hermione stared at him in confusion; her fear from earlier had faded. Her breathing slowed slightly but she could still hear her heart pounding. All of a sudden she noticed how close he was, she could see every fleck of colour in his grey eyes, see every eyelash, every strand of his platinum blond locks. She still held a small flicker of fear but her heart was betraying her. She looked him deep in the eye as she had never before; she no longer feared what she might find, she already knew. With a shuddering breath draco pulled away from her and practically sprinted through the library. Hermione’s stomach was doing somersaults, this evening was turning out much more eventful than she had planned.

Hermione followed Draco down the corridors resisting the urge to yell at his stupid face. He hadn’t much of a head start but still managed to get ahead. It wasn’t until Hermione collided with him that she realised that there was not one iota of sense in chasing him. Draco grabbed her arms to stop her falling and practically pulled her to her feet. 

“Why are you chasing after me.” He hissed indignantly trying to sound stronger than he was. 

“You can’t say something like that and just leave. I want answers.” Hermione spat back impatiently. Draco grimaced slightly and pulled up his left sleeve tenderly. Hermione just stood there gaping at him in the dull light of the corridor. 

“Harry suspected, that’s why I was following you but I never thought there was truth in it. Draco are you okay? Does anyo-” 

“Shut up.” Was all Draco offered to the situation. Hermione stood there in front of him still slightly gobsmacked. Draco turned away from her so she wouldn’t see the tears making little tracks down his cheeks. It suddenly dawned on Hermione what she had done, of course he didn't want to be a death eater. 

“Oh gosh I’m sorry.” She mumbled. Draco just sniffed. She took a step towards him and brushed the tears from his face. He froze at her affectionate touch seemingly unsure of what to do. Hermione just smiled sadly and took his hand. 

“Let's go back to the library and talk.” Draco was so lost he complied. Not once did it cross his mind that he was with granger; he felt farther from his troubles than he had in ages, whilst having more understanding. 

They ran down the halls together quietly, their joined hands swinging between them. At one point Draco almost smiled. She was so easy to talk to and every second spent near her was making his secret crush grow. 

Cosy in that little corner of the library words just seemed to flow. She told him about her life and he told her about his. Funnily enough they had a little more in common than obvious at first glance. Everything seemed to turn brighter for Draco when she was around, she could light him up like no one else. He scooted slightly closer to her and looked at her out of his lashes. 

“Could I maybe kiss you?” He whispered praying he had read the situation right. Hermione just smiled and cupped his cheek as she softly moved her face towards his. Her brown eyes practically glowed amber in the low light. He felt her smile softly into the kiss as she slid her arms around his neck. They broke away rather too quickly for Draco’s liking, both breathing raggedly and staring deep into each other's eyes. He leant in again placing his hands on Hermione’s waist, tracing little circles on her exposed skin. The kiss started soft but just grew in passion, before he knew it, he was kissing her with more emotion and passion than he knew he had. 

A crash echoed around the library making them both jump slightly and knock foreheads. The reaction was almost instant; they leapt apart and started to scurry from the library. 

“You will speak to me again right?” said Hermione, her voice conveying a slither of hope. 

“Of course.” Draco muttered.
