I mean, they're good at ignoring all the other moments of deep emotional connection between Harry and Hermione, but they can't in good conscience ignore this...right?
I do. As I matured, I realized that my love for HHr *as a couple* is more for what it could’ve been than for what it actually was.
I’ve read and reread these books, and back in my teenage years before book 7 came out, even wrote long extensive analyses of small minute scenes, maxxinterpreting them and using every single tiny nuance trying to find evidence that it was canon.
I feel differently when reading the books now. I feel like they don’t give us HHr as a “couple under development”, but rather as kids developing an unbreakable friendship and loyalty bond. Something that, IMO, they lacked with Ron (at least yet, due to his selfish and immature nature - understandable for a kid).
I see a baseline for a potential strong future romantic relationship many years later. I don’t think HHr would’ve ever gotten together/worked as teens. None of them would.
Anyway, when reading the books now, I adore catching those HHr scenes where you can clearly seeing their relationship developing. But I don’t read them as being romantic then, but as potentially becoming something more many years later.
Thats why I despise the epilogue so much.
So I saw this on IG, it says they are filming but for the life of me I can't rememeber a Canon moment of Harry and Hermione together outside of Hogwarts. For a show that said they would be following the book, news already leaked that they want to add more background information like on Malfoy and even on Hermione and how she got her letter...could they possibly be adding more Harmony scenes as well? This just tickles me.
I still dont want to watch this new version but...now they piqued my interest with Harmony potential.
So I finally finished one of my forever-WIPs, 'Below the Fold, We Are'. It is part noir thriller, part mystery, and part smut. About 43k words, eight chapters, told from Harry's and Hermione's perspectives exclusively.
The blurb:
>Hermione and Harry have been seeing each other for a few months now — in secret. Because their investigation into the Minister of Magic demands it. But what began as a rush, a minor breaking of the rules to let themselves fall into each other, suddenly turns into a dangerous balancing act.
>Or: A reunion weekend doesn't go as planned, and Harry has a few things to say about that.
To be completely honest, I rarely happen to like Harmony fanfics as I find them too OOC and cringey. Harry seems quite submissive and mushy towards Hermione. I'd like to read some proper fanfics that respect their relationship and characters where their love develops organically. The elements are all already there, so there's no need to depict Harry as a drooly fanboy. Do you know any of them with these characteristics? Thank you.
I am looking for most well written H****armony fanfics with right dynamics, emotional balance, rich story, well placed humor and ideal characteristics. Longer the better. Something worth reading.
They have the same first 2 initials in the name "HJ"
Apparently both their mothers' maiden names start with an "E" and commonly boy names: Evans and Elliot.
They can use each other's wands with no problem.
Both are known to have wild messy hair.
Heck, she at some point in the development of the story was planning for Potters and Grangers to know each other beforehand, which really points to them being more like soulmates.
Sometimes, I dive straight into the story and don't look at the title. I keep so kany tabs open that I forget which is which. Please help me find these 2 fics.
2.Fic where Hermione moves in with Harry temporarily because there was an issue in her flat. I can't remember if the issue has something to do with water or plumbing. There are a lot of scenes where Harry contemplates and stares at Hermione, with Hermione starting to steal some of his clothes or socks. I don't think Grimmauld was the setting though. I think it was a cottage? I don't really remember much.
Please, please help. 🥺
Hello, I normally just lurk around in reddit, but a few weeks ago I saw a post asking for an art of Harry catching Hermione during Ootp grawp chapter:
'“Hagrid, would it be all right if we lit our wands?” said Hermione quietly.
“Er ... all righ’,” Hagrid whispered back. “In fact ...”
He stopped suddenly and turned around; Hermione walked right into him and was knocked over backward. Harry caught her just before she hit the forest floor.'
I've been practicing art lately so I've decided to draw this harmony moment, hope you guys like it :)
I think Hermione in this scene was in an emotional state—up to the point where her hidden feelings for Harry came out through her extreme concern for him. And I swear to you that if Cedric hadn’t arrived, Hermione would have broken down and confessed to Harry: “I’m worried for your safety because I love you.”
I also think Harry has hidden feelings for Hermione. In this scene, when he mentions Krum’s name, maybe it’s a sign of jealousy—something that triggers Hermione’s agitation. And I even believe Harry was happy and relieved when Hermione admitted that, between her and Krum, nothing much was going on, and that Krum was more physical—he just kept looking at her.
I believe that in the Harry Potter films, up to Goblet of Fire, they show how the relationship between Hermione and Harry develops—like a relationship from childhood to adolescence between a girl and a boy.
In Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, we see the trio working together, with several moments where Harry and Hermione protect each other multiple times. Harry sits next to Hermione in the Great Hall. Hermione stops Harry from flying on his broom to go after Malfoy. Harry remembers Hermione, and he takes the risk of jumping onto the troll to save her. Hermione saves Harry during Quidditch by burning Professor Quirrell’s/Professor Rogue’s robe. Hermione tells Harry she’s a great wizard, and Harry says something like she’s more powerful than he is, etc.
In Chamber of Secrets, we see Hermione and Harry happy to find each other again, and Hermione adjusts her glasses. Harry strokes Hermione’s hand while she’s petrified. Harry sits on the edge of Hermione’s bed, between talking to her and Hermione—Harry brings a flower for Hermione and then sits on her bed again while continuing to stroke her hand. Hermione hugs Harry during their reunion in the common room at the end.
In Prisoner of Azkaban, at the beginning we’re shown two children dancing on the Dursleys’ television, and then Harry goes up to his room, where he looks at the photo of his mother and father dancing. Could it be a similarity between two romantic parents and two in-love children (Harry and Hermione)?
Harry wakes up and sees Hermione kneeling close to his head, carefully keeping hold of his glasses.
Hermione gently prevents Harry from fighting Malfoy. Harry sits almost all the time with Hermione close to him—whether in the common room or in the classroom. Hermione encourages Harry during Quidditch and, for the first time, sits on his bed and carefully keeps her glasses after the last one falls following the attack of the Dementors. Hermione and Harry constantly touch each other in an effort to save Ron. Hermione steps in in front of him to stop Sirius from killing him. The time-travel scene, where Hermione and Harry keep touching each other like lovers who have passed beyond emotional interactions into instinctive physical contact: Hermione holds Harry’s arm while they search for the werewolf together. Harry protects Hermione from the werewolf, and afterward they touch each other mutually and physically while leaning against the tree in the forest. Hermione holds Harry very tightly—gripping him—while the two of them fly away on the hippogriff.
In Goblet of Fire, we see Harry and Hermione protecting each other from Death Eaters and the chaos caused during the World Cup. Hermione hugs Harry in the Champions’ tent and clings to him despite the Gazette’s suspicion and the arrival of Barty Crouch Jr., Dumbledore, and the others. Hermione never stops encouraging Harry during the first task. Hermione and Harry look at each other during the ball. Hermione speaks to Harry with emotion and worry almost at the edge of breaking down, and they keep giving each other long, lingering looks. Hermione takes care of Harry and kisses him on the head during the second task. At the end, Harry consoles Hermione.
We can see that their relationship evolves as the films progress—starting with emotional interactions, then protecting each other mutually, and finally moving into physical interactions.

You Can’t Rush Love.
I know that this moment from Hermione was one of despair, but I like to think that Hermione was impressed and flustered by the pure audacity and BDE from Harry in this moment 😂
“How come Voldemort wants it?” Several of the Death Eaters let out low hisses.
“You dare speak his name?” whispered Bellatrix.
“Yeah,” said Harry, maintaining his tight grip on the glass ball, expecting another attempt to bewitch it from him.
“Yeah, I’ve got no problem saying Vol —”
“Shut your mouth!” Bellatrix shrieked. “You dare speak his name with your unworthy lips, you dare besmirch it with your half-blood’s tongue, you dare —”
“Did you know he’s a half-blood too?” said Harry recklessly.
Hermione gave a little moan in his ear.
“Voldemort? Yeah, his mother was a witch but his dad was a Muggle —or has he been telling you lot he’s pureblood?”
I'm trying to find some stories that I vaguely recall. However I'm not sure if they're one story or a couple similar ones.
Does anyone recognize these?
Gotta admit while I was editing this, I couldn't help but be frustrated that Harry and Hermione didn't end up together.
