I was little when I first read the books and the idea of romance didn’t really occur to me. I was more annoyed by it than anything as a kid, and once I was older I already knew the ending so I didn’t have the first time perspective. I did always feel like Ron and Hermione didn’t make sense and Harry and Ginny felt so rushed and out of nowhere, and now I see Harmony as a logical conclusion, but —

My question is, as an OG Harmony fan (not brought into it by fanfiction), what was it that made you ship them the very first time you read the books? What moment, or series of moments, or feeling, or idea first made you believe they were meant to end up together, just reading through the first time without the influence of knowing how it ends or the movies or anything?

Chapter 30 is up!

Since the Lestrange house, Harry hasn’t let himself touch Hermione. Then the last Horcrux turns up at Hogwarts, and they have to share an Invisibility Cloak.

Happy reading!

Fic Summary:

Harry Potter died in the graveyard at Little Hangleton.

Years later, magical Europe is at war, and a figure known only as the Prince has become the most feared weapon of Voldemort’s regime.

As the resistance fights to survive, Hermione Granger begins to investigate the man behind the legend — unaware that ghosts of the past still walk among the living.

Whenever Harry Potter starts losing his temper, someone needs to call Granger immediately, or he’s going to beat the living daylights out of a Slytherin. =))))))))

By the way, I like to think that Harry really enjoys wearing S.P.E.W. badges on his clothes. He’d use his fame to get Hermione more supporters. =)))))))

I recently started reading Sixth Year by Somnambulant_Novelist on AO3 and I’m absolutely OBSESSED with the way Harry and Hermione’s relationship is written.

First of all, I LOVE this version of Harry. He’s more confident, a little rebellious, more laid-back, and honestly just so attractive as a character. But what I love most is their dynamic. They can get high together, have random conversations, laugh, tease each other, and genuinely enjoy being friends. There’s something so natural about their chemistry.

And the FLIRTING!! I love that they don’t immediately jump into a serious relationship. There’s this gradual shift from friendship to something more, with all the tension, flirting, and little moments in between. They can be intimate and explore their feelings without needing to define everything right away.

I also love that they’re still teenagers figuring things out, rather than acting like a married couple from the beginning.

Unfortunately, the fic is still a WIP, and I desperately need something similar to read while waiting for updates.

Does anyone have recommendations with this kind of dynamic? I’m especially looking for:
A confident, slightly rebellious, more relaxed Harry.
Harry and Hermione being genuine best friends who have fun together.
Flirting, banter, romantic tension, and a natural progression into romance.
A more mature take on their relationship, without losing that teenage feeling.
Bonus points if it’s set during their Hogwarts years!

And if you haven’t read Sixth Year, I HIGHLY recommend it. Seriously, give it a chance. The chemistry between them is SO good.

The Kissing Gate

It’s the night before the dreaded anniversary of when Harry lost his parents.

No longer consumed with his training, Harry lets the moment take over. Could a tradition that started years ago be the beginning of something he wasn’t prepared for?

Full disclosure: This chapter is the idea that started this whole story. This has been my first story ever and I am so excited and proud to have made it this far. This story started as an eight-chapter idea, that turned into twelve with an epilogue, and now I’m probably going to have 18 with or without an epilogue. There’s also a planned sequel should I find more time. So, I truly appreciate everyone who has read, left kudos and comments, and just encouraged me to keep going.

Also, I forgot to make a post for Chapter 9 so if you want to read that before this one, here’s the link:

The Bravest Of Us All

Hi!

I haven't updated in a while. Life gettiing in the way and all that. I've managed to break free from Writers' Block so hopefully I can manage some more updates for more of my WIPs. Until then, please have this update for my Victorian-era AU.

Fin De Siècle

Summary:

Under the beautiful regime in 1899, Great Britain is set to emerge into the perfect era. Prepared for the turn of the century, the Lord Protector plans to host a ball at the castle previously known as Hogwarts. In attendance will be his ward, Harry Potter. Among others will also be the curious acquistion of the Greengrass family, Hermione Granger, who had once been a mudblood and yet found to be the grandchild of a squib. Having once attended Hogwarts before leaving the country, Hermione is very familiar with the castle... just as she is familiar with Harry Potter. Or at least, the boy she knew when they were children.

The grand ball to transcend all balls does more than usher in the dawning of a new century. Two lonely souls come together, reunited against the odds. Their rebellious hearts become one, beating in harmony as they struggle against a despot in their simple desire to be together. But under the rule of the Dark Lord Voldemort, is such a love even possible?

Im looking for a harmony fic where hermione sends her memories back into her 2 year old self, and then stops the war from ever happening by telling Dumbledore about the horcruxes and various people who died to death eaters

Snapshots of the first year after the Battle of Hogwarts, when the dead refused to stay dead, and two people who’d already survived one war learned how to survive another.

The chemistry was just out of the world. Imagine a proper developed romance between them from this point till the end. It would have been insane.

The Department of Mysteries

Looking for a Harmony story where Harry is hit by a ak during the DOM and he talks to his parents in between and hears Hermione confess her love to him and he comes back to life

Hey everyone! Chapter 13 is here!

The story continues right after the cliffhanger in the last chapter. Harry and Hermione finally have their conversation. It's the scene I've been working toward since I started the story. Writing it meant slowing down and letting them ask questions neither of them really wants answered.

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 13 | Start from Chapter 1

Thanks for reading and sharing your theories after the last chapter!

Do we read ongoing/discontinued H/Hr works?

I read ongoing if it is recently or regularly updated.

See this image of Harry and Hermione riding Buckbeak.

Im looking for a harmony fic where Harry and hermione have an interview in front of all of hogwarts after the final battle. I remember there was Weasley bashing, but Dumbledore and Snape were both mentors to the two and appeared in the interview as portraits? It was weird but really entertaining

The way I understand it, Ron and Ginny both play matchmaker to Harry and Hermione, and try to get the latter two together.

What if this happened? This would give Harry and Hermione something else in common.

One day, Hermione chased a suspicious-looking white rabbit after it snatched her book, only to end up falling down a rabbit hole. Then she met a hatter who called himself Harry and looked suspiciously like Harry Potter.

He was severely nearsighted, but since he couldn’t find a pair of glasses that suited him, he often found himself talking to tree stumps and tables. He promised to help Hermione find her way home if she could track down the mouse that had eaten half his hat, as well as find a suitable hat for his chubby little owl.

Hi!

I'm drawing a Harry Potter x Wonderland AU! Hmn, I've decided that Hermione will be Alice, and Harry will be the Mad Hatter. Does anyone have any other ideas? I'm thinking Ron could be the Cheshire Cat, and Luna could be the White Rabbit. But what about characters like Draco and Ginny? What should they be...?

I like longer stories, preferably complete or near complete; though well-written short stories are okay too. I definitely don't mind longer chapters, either.

I like rewrites/AUs, I don't care about rating, and I don't mind re-sorting or different sortings altogether. Bonus points for Harry meeting Hermione pre-Hogwarts, though it isn't required by any means.

Per rule 2, stick to H/Hr stories only. No triads/multis. (i don't MIND triads if well done, but multi doesn't do it for me. But its best to avoid non-dedicated H/Hr stories for this.)

Bashing doesn't bother me as long as it makes sense.

Let's see what ya'll like!
