Once again thinking about sapphic Harmione, this time with specifically lesbian Hermione
While I know a lot of people like to hc Harry as having freak outs about his gender and/or sexuality because of the Dursleys and him being distraught over this being another way he’s a “freak”, I like to go the other way with it
I like to hc in every version of Harry that because he was treated so differently and he didn’t know why that he eventually figured out his placing on the rainbow and maybe even thought that that’s specifically why the Dursleys hated him so much, and also because he’s so used to being hated and stuff that he just lets it roll off his back, no internalized homophobia here
And so going into this specific scenario, we got bisexual fem!Harry (cis or trans, but if it’s trans then she socially started transitioning in or prior to first year so that she’s seen as a girl the whole time she’s known Hermione) who’s v open about liking both
For Hermione, while I don’t see her as having any internalized homophobia either, I do think she’d unknowingly have a very heteronormative mindset, and in this scenario she has started crushing hard on Harry from the first moment they met and just has no idea
Spends the entirety of their hogwarts years being like “It’s so great Harry likes girls :) I wish I liked girls too”, “It’d be so amazing if me and Harry could get married, we’re so compatible, but I’m gonna have to marry a boy”, just constantly thinking about dating boys as a chore, thinks she’s just being a v studious student by not getting all boy crazy like the other girls, jealous and possessive over Harry and thinking it’s just because she wants to be her bestest friend, just the quintessential lesbian who doesn’t know they are one experience
And then when Hermione finally realizes she’s in love with Harry they get together and everyone’s happy 🎊
