I’m currently reading Unlike a Sister and it’s got me so hooked that I pulled an all nighter going from chapter 1 to chapter 34. I’m starting to feel the toll of being awake for 28 hours. The overarching plot and character dynamics are so riveting that I need more like it.

It could be Hermione’s dream or Harry’s — I honestly can’t tell. It’s so weird that the locket doesn’t tempt either of them to betray their best friend, even though it clearly tempts Ron into thinking that Harry and Hermione have something going on between them.

I think that after Rita, this locket is the second Harmony fanfic author, with Ron as its unwilling reader. LMAOOOOOOOO 😂

Years ago, LeQuin on FFN wrote a one-shot based on the message prompt below he recieved in a PM. One-shot was "Intended." https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12323580/1/

I wanted to share this prompt to see if anyone else would want to write a one-shot with the same premise.

"Ok, so the premise for this fic is a comedic/lighthearted one. Basically, it's Ron and Hermione's wedding day, but Ron makes a mistake and Harry ends up marrying her instead. The mistake Ron makes can b e anything, maybe he says a vow wrong or accidentally makes an oath, anything like that. The characters try to fix it but it can't be helped. Harry and Hermione then go through and enjoy their sudden wedding. And that's the whole fic. Sound alright?"

The story takes place after 5th year, I think. Harry leaves the Dudleys' and actively starts fighting the DE because he believes his friends are dead. The story is told in the form of witnesses recalling parts of it while giving testimony in front of the Wizengamot.

Introducing the Harmony Out Of The Ordinary 2026 fics promoted via Tumblr and TikTok this past week. I highly suggest checking them out and sharing your appreciation. Now without further ado, enjoy each slide and please do check out the fics. See below for fic details and links. Thank you to all three writers for participating, all the readers already checking the fics out and for showing their love.

Unsupported Conclusions by Prill_and_Quill

Trinity College chemistry student Hermione Granger has been going to the same coffee shop every Thursday for four months.

It's close to home.
The coffee is excellent.
And the barista — messy black hair, green eyes, tattoos — has a tongue piercing that has led to some very unsatisfying "independent research" in the privacy of her own bedroom.

He remembers her order and notices when she’s had a bad day with Snape— or a good one with anyone who isn't Snape. But her hypothesis that he's interested in anything other than providing excellent customer service is a largely unsupported conclusion.

Until, that is, the hottest day of the year when all the data is pointing in one very clear direction. And Hermione finds that the hotter than the weather— or the coffee at Leaky Grounds — is what happens when she and Harry Potter conduct their own experiments.

Hi !

I'm new to this ship, and looking for something specific that nade me go from dramione to harmiony🫠

I love the friendship to lovers trope, but I feel like with Ron in the mix, it must be so interesting too see harry and hermione falling for each other while ron is clearly into hermione.

Would love some long fics (around 100k) at hogwarts where there is a messy love triangle (like maybe when ron is together with lavender, hermione distances herself from him and harry comes into play). Maybe a fake or secret relationship ?

Thank you so much in advance 😇

Perhaps something with minimal angst, cause after reading Iris, I don't think I'd be able to handle it.

Hi all,

I've dipped my toe into Dramione fanfics and it was amazing. I love the angst and enemies to lovers dynamic but it's time for a new pairing in HP which has just as much promise.

I would love your recommendations for someone new to the pairing, the must reads for anyone reading. I'm open to all themes but must have an ending where they end together.

Thanks!

Thanks to Kinktober, I read a line yesterday that got me thinking:

"Hermione’s Occlumency was no match for Draco when he was on a mission. He stormed into the tent in her mind and discovered his worst nightmare…

Hermione and Potter were fucking."

Does anyone know of any fanfics that explore this dynamic?

With a Harmony endgame, of course.

Hey everyone! Chapter 12 is up!

Harry made progress in the investigation. However, convincing the public of that is another matter.

With Robards removed and negotiations with Gringotts behind him, Harry now has to defend decisions he can't fully explain without compromising the case.

This chapter brings some of those tensions much closer to home.

For anyone new: 9/1 is an adult Harry/Hermione detective story and political thriller set in 2012. A devastating attack on Hogwarts brings Harry out of retirement to lead an investigation into the deadliest crime since the war.

Chapter 12 | Start from Chapter 1

Thanks for reading and for all your support!

After too much time, here is a new chapter for my time loop story:

https://archiveofourown.org/works/75051391/chapters/196111796

I’m guessing 4th year! But for the sake of plot tension, it probably wouldn't have actually happened until Year 6 or 7. JKR probably would’ve written some jealousy scenes between them😂

Hi everyone. New to this community but I have been a HarMione stan ever since. I am looking for an ao3 fic, the fic is smut. It's a post war setting. I don't remember exactly if Hermione and Ron were coupled up here but I think they were not. This fic have a few chapters. The first part was more on Harry and Hermione dealing trauma and stuff while they come back or staying at Hogwarts. Then some kind of gathering happened that made them drunk and they kissed, but Hermione was stopping herself to cross lines between Harry. After what happened, there's some occasion at the burrow, they are somehow roommates I think until the time of sleep came and there it happen, the two of them crossing the lines.

https://archiveofourown.org/works/89053211/chapters/253526551

Hermione's investigation takes a turn, while Harry and Hermione decide what comes next.

Someone just opened a Pandora’s box when they asked this question. I think we all know what the immediate answer would be for us.

Chapter 8 - Crosstalk

At what point does the chasm become too wide to cross. Harry pulled himself together before the day started only to discover that nothing was even close to being easy to cross. With too many thoughts causing doubts, when does he listen to himself.

Thank you for all the support as I get across the halfway point of this story.

Something along the lines of Weary Wizard by Yunaine. Preferably fics on the longer side, but im not too picky.

As the title says, I'm looking for a lot of smut, pwp too, I prefer longer fics, Harry is confident maybe even jealous and knows what he's doing, I still like him IC and not some BAMF daddy, just very good in the bedroom

The Disappearance of Hermione Granger by zzz7zzz

https://archiveofourown.org/works/61484365

Auror Harry Potter spends yet another Christmas alone at Grimmauld Place, wishing he could see his parents alive again. He gets his wish and he wakes up back at home with as an incoming fourth-year Hogwarts student, with his parents alive and no Voldemort in sight. It’s like a dream come true… until Harry realizes one small thing:

Hermione Granger is missing.

(Note: Hogwarts start at 15 years old.)

Spoiler:- after finding hermione Granger in the Hogwarts he learnt she was so different from his world hermione so he did what he had to do to help her...

Time went by and he met luna who was also from his world (was she? Maybe or maybe not) and told him they had to go back

Harry has to go back to his wife and 3 kids (but Harry never had kids nor wife) And she is pregnant so just to.help.her he agreed

And finally went for the ritual that would send him back leaving his own family and Hermione there...

Okay, I know this has already been discussed plenty of times on here, but this has been on my mind for a while now, and I thought that just putting it out there and sharing my thoughts might help.

So, just to give you some background, I was introduced to Harry Potter pretty late. I mean, I knew there was something called Harry Potter and that it had something to do with magic, but for some reason, I kept avoiding it. Eventually, in 2020, with COVID going on and not much to do while sitting at home, I finally convinced myself to watch the films.

And boy, was I hooked! I watched the entire series in a four-day marathon, and then started another marathon the very next day.

Now, mind you, I hadn't read the books at that point, so the movies were my first introduction to the world of Harry Potter. And, well, Dan and Emma had such insane chemistry in the films that I instantly started shipping them. So, naturally, I was pretty disappointed and, frankly, shocked when Hermione ended up with Ron and Harry ended up with Ginny.

Naturally, I went deeper into the fandom to see what people thought about the relationships. And, as you can probably guess, almost everyone in the main HP fandom was like, "Ah, go and read the books" or "Average movie watcher." So that's exactly what I did. I borrowed the books from a friend and started reading them with an open mind.

And while I do agree that the books provide more buildup for Ron and Hermione's relationship, as well as Harry and Ginny's, something about both pairings still felt wrong to me. I just couldn't wrap my head around why Ron and Hermione would fall for each other, or why Harry would fall for Ginny. Even in the books, Harry and Ginny's relationship felt like it came out of nowhere.

And here's the funniest part: as I was reading the books, the one thing I couldn't help but notice was the ABSURD amount of effort JKR seemed to put into making sure Harry and Hermione didn't fall for each other. It was almost as if, between the lines, I could feel the story naturally gravitating towards them ending up together, only for JKR to constantly steer it in the opposite direction.

And by "an absurd amount of effort," I also mean the sheer number of free passes Ron seems to get throughout the series.

He abandons Harry during the Triwizard Tournament, and all Harry seems to think about is how much he misses Ron's company. Then, when Ron finally comes back, he's welcomed with open arms, with virtually no consequences for his actions. The same thing happens in Deathly Hallows.

But when Hermione tells McGonagall about the Firebolt, suddenly both boys turn against her and ignore her for months. Granted, Ron is primarily responsible for this, but Harry doesn't exactly go out of his way to reach out to her either.

Or take the second book, for instance. Harry helps Dobby gain his freedom despite Dobby having repeatedly put him in danger, even though Dobby's intentions were ultimately noble. Yet, when Hermione starts SPEW in Goblet of Fire, Harry shows practically no interest in supporting her. I remember reading that and thinking, Come onnnnnn!

And don't even get me started on the Yule Ball. It genuinely never crosses Harry's mind to ask Hermione to go with him. I mean, she was the only person who stood by him during the first task, even when his so-called best mate accused him of cheating and abandoned him out of jealousy. Hermione believed in him, supported him, and helped him prepare for the task. And yet, asking her to the ball doesn't even occur to him?

Then there's Hermione's behaviour in Half-Blood Prince, which, to me, feels completely out of character when it comes to believing Harry's suspicions about Malfoy. In Chamber of Secrets, she was the one who helped brew the Polyjuice Potion, a highly complex and illegal potion, just to investigate whether Malfoy was the Heir of Slytherin. And they didn't even have any conclusive proof that he was responsible for unleashing the monster! Yet, in the sixth book, she has so much trouble believing Harry when he suspects Malfoy of being a Death Eater.

I mean, I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea.

Ultimately, I just feel that if JKR had allowed the story to develop more organically, rather than forcing the pairings she had already decided on, Harry and Hermione would have ended up together. I mean, there's a reason so many people, even in the books felt that there was something more between them. Viktor Krum noticed it, Rita Skeeter certainly tried to make something of it (although we can probably ignore her), and even Ron thought so too (as evidenced by the vision the Horcrux shows him).

And honestly, I think allowing Harry and Hermione to end up together could have given us not only one of the best fictional romances but also a richer, more compelling story overall.

Think about it: Harry would have spent more of his time with Hermione instead of spending nearly all his free time playing Wizard's Chess, playing Exploding Snap with Ron, or playing Quidditch. He would have had more opportunities to learn about magic, develop his skills, and become a more knowledgeable and competent wizard. Perhaps he wouldn't have been quite so unprepared in so many of his encounters with Voldemort, either.

Of course, I'm not suggesting that being with Hermione would magically solve all of Harry's problems, but I do wonder whether it would have made him a more capable wizard and reduced his reliance on the plot armour that seems to save him at the last possible moment whenever he's up against the most feared Dark wizard of all time.

I just feel that we could have gotten a far richer story had the narrative been allowed to unfold more naturally. And perhaps that's one of the reasons why I haven't revisited either the books or the movies since. I still vividly remember the feeling I was left with after finishing the films and, eventually, the books. I was equally happy and sad, happy to have discovered such a beautiful, immersive world that I had grown so attached to, yet sad to think about all the missed potential, all the possibilities that could have made the story even more compelling. It's a strange feeling, really, to fall in love with a story and its characters, only to be left wondering what could have been.

Anyway, these are just some thoughts I've had on my mind for a long time, and I figured that putting them out there might help. I'm curious to know if anyone else feels the same way, especially those who've read the books and still believe that Harry and Hermione would have made more sense together.

Chapter 29 is now on AO3!

Bellatrix finds out the Prince has a weakness.

We're heading into the climax of the story now, and things are about to get intense.

Happy reading!
