Unlike a Sister by madharmony

Nineteen years ago, Harry told Ron he saw Hermione as his sister. Now Hermione is in danger and Harry's feelings for her begin to change dramatically, jeopardizing everything he once knew. A post-war, Epilogue compliant fic.

"And just as gazing at a single star in the night sky causes the others to fade away, so he looked at her—an ever-fixed mark that he would bear out, even to the edge of doom."

"Why was it that women—particularly those who were bright and ambitious—were only loved once they were brought low in some way? Could they not be loved when they were whole and hale and unbending? But, no. Hypatia must always meet her mob. Boudicca, her dose of poison."

Honestly, no one is good enough for my favorite character. 

In an ideal world, she finds a muggleborn wizard who understands her struggles, and is similarly intelligent and powerful. (He can even help her make amends with her parents post-war.) 

I don’t think canon Harry deserves Hermione, tbh. He got distracted by shiny Ginny and I lowkey never forgave him for that. 

HOWEVER, if we’re talking solely fanfiction, I find the best stories have controversial pairings. 

I love dramione. Something about it is quite poetic when it’s done carefully. You can go to any extreme really, and it will always be interesting. From soft and sweet, to absolutely devastating.

I like Theomione or at least I really like that one ShayaLonnie story. I can appreciate that perhaps Draco and Hermione have too much history, and that Theo is a blank canvas Slytherin. I’ve been invested in his character since I first read OlivieBlake. He probably has the best rep in fanfiction, for his dry wit and charm, and his sad backstory. 

Harry/Hermione is interesting to read when it’s well done. (See Alexandra_Emerson). I don’t care for Weasley or Dumbledore bashing (to the extremes), but there are some stories that are so well thought out and explore sticky situations like infidelity absolutely brilliantly. 

I LOVE time travel and pureblood culture, so pairings with Sirius or Regulus are very good in my book. Write more of these I beg of you. Regulus because I think he’s hot, and he’s already redeemed. Sirius because he’s hot and could stand to grow up a little. They’d be explosive, wouldn’t they? 

I know Hermione is not perfect, and that’s part and parcel of why I don’t ship her with Luna or Fleur. I can’t quite get over her cattiness when she first meets those characters. Also, I like Fleur/Bill and Luna/Rolf is perfect IMO. 

Fremione is very cute but for some reason I don’t like George/Hermione. Not sure why, really?
