At this time, I've got one "snag" and no "shag"s, but that may change soon. Who's to know?

(Me. It's me.)

Amortentia

was written by @fizzyginfizz and got unmasked!

Here's a Very Ancient Draft of how I'd initially imagined the Hermione and Ginny conversation to go re: Harry Feelings in HBP.

All the way back in (2022?) when I'd written snippets of TIB's from first person POV.

Warning: I've not edited this at all, just copy paste and a quick dusting off. Please graciously ignore any typos.

“I am going to hug you now.” She announced it because he didn’t seem like he had gotten a lot of casual affection in his life and she was a hugger like her mother. 

*gasp* I would love to hear about either one of your dancing WIPs! Dirty Dancing, Ballet?

Oooh I'll do both because I haven't had a chance about these! So both of these are kind of ideas I've had that I have not truly worked on but i have like a general story idea.

Dirty Dancing!AU Well you are all familiar with the Dirty Dancing movie, I hope? So here I switched it around. Ginny is a professional dancer and her old friend dance partner is Dean! Harry overhears some doofus be insulting to Ginny while registering dance classes so Ginny tells Doofus that she has no more dance spots free for him. And then Harry, to help her out, of course, books like 50 hours with her. So then inevitably when Dean gets injured (cause unknown), Harry can help them out.

AND

💥Is there a chapter, scene, or WIP you're most excited to write? Share a snippet or tell us about it!

💖 - I want to be one of those people that either plans out their story completely before posting OR at least sticks to an actual posting schedule.

💥 - I’m dreading all the connecting scenes for what I have mapped out for year 5 of ‘in all chaos there is calculation’ I promise I can read. I’m most excited for the enemies to lovers HP prompt I got (I’m working on them anon!) I have a deep love for Slytherin!Harry and Slytherin!Ginny (shout out Annerb)

Right now it feels more like a stream of consciousness than a story but here’s something:

It’s like her family is afraid of her but also afraid for her. She knows she’s being unfair with how annoyed she is by all the coddling - especially from her brothers who could’ve (some may should have) paid her a shred of attention last year even after her sorting hat debacle.

She has nightmares and a fear that she doesn’t remember things from the day before. The only person she wants to talk to is bloody Harry Potter.

-

The way Harry treats her is no different than he treated her last year. Which is to say, he’s indifferent to her presence. Ginny feels silly for thinking him coming to save her in the Chamber would bond them for life or something, but she thought she’d at least get a friend out of the entire situation. He probably thinks she’s a silly little girl who managed to get possessed less than halfway through the school year. Ginny hates that. When she found out that Harry Potter had also beens sorted into Slytherin, she’d hoped that maybe they could become friends, that maybe her childhood fantasies weren’t in vain.

But, Harry kept mostly to himself. Only really talking with Blaise Zabini. And Ginny doesn’t particularly like Blaise Zabini.

But neutral is probably best. How about "true?"

Ha!! Who knows? Maybe I’ll take a dramatic two-handed wheel-turn and go full AU last minute?

“What if I don’t care?” Ginny said. Harry looked deeply into her rich colored chocolate brown eyes and for a moment imagined the unbearable regret, the shattered heartache, the total earth-shaking emotional evisceration that his dutiful response to the call of his destiny would inevitably cause. And instead, decided: Frotz This. “You’re right, Ginny. Come with me.”

TIB's/QifL parody anyone???

A true "true" excerpt below the cut:

OMG!

I have zero clue if I stole this or made it up completely, but I have a completely formulated head canon that little Harry loved the Indiana Jones movies. He used to watch them while sitting on the stairs of Privet Drive so that Dudley wouldn't see him. Harry's hands would be gripping the banisters, eyes wide and completely sucked in. But tragically, sometimes Dudley would turn the VCR off early because it was "boring" and Harry just wanted to know WHICH WAS THE RIGHT GOBLET TO DRINK FROM?!?

For Hermione, I do kind of agree with what some people have said - that she wouldn't be an avid fiction reader. However, I imagine her reading the very high-brow classical stories. It's questionable if she actually enjoys them, or feels she *ought* to as a self-identifying well-read individual. In one of my chapters I had her reading Jane Eyre as a "comfort book" because I imagined that she would appreciate reading about a mature romantic figure who, despite reasons to deny his love, eventually proclaims his feelings in a very dramatic and honest way... in contrast to her own romantic situation at the time hehe.

I'll have to think for the other two...

Thanks for the ask @fizzyginfizz!
