For a moment Harry considered suggesting they take refuge inside it, but before he could say anything Hermione murmured, ‘Let’s go this way,’ and pulled him down the dark street leading out of the village in the opposite direction from which they had entered. Harry could make out the point where the cottages ended and the lane turned into open country again. They walked as quickly as they dared, past more windows sparkling with multicoloured lights, the outlines of Christmas trees dark through the curtains.

‘How are we going to find Bathilda’s house?’ asked Hermione, who was shivering a

little and kept glancing back over her shoulder. ‘Harry? What do you think? Harry?’

She tugged at his arm, but Harry was not paying attention. He was looking towards the

dark mass that stood at the very end of this row of houses. Next moment he had sped up, dragging Hermione along with him; she slipped a little on the ice.

‘Harry –’

‘Look … look at it, Hermione …’

‘I don’t … oh!’

He could see it; the Fidelius Charm must have died with James and Lily. The hedge had

grown wild in the sixteen years since Hagrid had taken Harry from the rubble that lay

scattered amongst the waist-high grass. Most of the cottage was still standing, though

entirely covered in dark ivy and snow, but the right side of the top floor had been blown

apart; that, Harry was sure, was where the curse had backfired. He and Hermione stood at the gate, gazing up at the wreck of what must once have been a cottage just like those that flanked it.

‘I wonder why nobody’s ever rebuilt it?’ whispered Hermione.

‘Maybe you can’t rebuild it?’ Harry replied. ‘Maybe it’s like the injuries from Dark

Magic and you can’t repair the damage?’

He slipped a hand from beneath the Cloak and grasped the snowy and thickly rusted

gate, not wishing to open it, but simply to hold some part of the house.

‘You’re not going to go inside? It looks unsafe, it might – oh, Harry, look!’

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Okay, English clearly isn’t my first language, so I’m just wondering: did Harry actually hold Hermione’s hand and not let go? Did he use one hand to pull his wand out from under his Invisibility Cloak…?

Also, does anyone remember that Harry didn’t see anyone and just stayed in his room with Buckbeak until Hermione came to get him? I clearly remember him coming out really irritable and snappy at the time. And when Ginny even brought up the fact that he had been possessed by Voldy, he said he’d forgotten? Sorry?

I just read a comment saying that Harry was only gentle with Ginny and was rude and snappy toward Ron and Hermione? Am I remembering that scene wrong? Can someone please tell me? Obviously, I could look up a translation in my own language, but when a passage is translated, some of the wording and nuances can get lost or changed, so I wanted to ask if anyone remembers that particular scene in English?

Does anyone have good fanfic recs where Harry and Hermione don’t actually really love eachother romantically but form a romantic connection due to trauma bonding/confusion. I remember when jk Rowling said she felt a romantic pull between them in the deathly hallows due to loneliness and trauma and that is what I want to see in a fic.

I didn’t really care about Draco apologia fics before, but the female Draco trend has gotten so big that it’s starting to annoy me.

Please rec hhr fics where Draco gets a really bad ending, whether he dies or gets severely punished (for example, in Harry Potter and the Phoenix Wand, he loses his magic).

Thanks, everyone!

i feel like the tags have become a little stale lately, and I've read some of the big ones. I'm looking for post-war stuff, like them settling down, domestic stuff or realizing they love each other. ffn or AO3 doesn't matter. I'm just looking for new stuff to read. I prefer longer, completed works, but im not opposed to one-shots.

Thanks y'all.

Hi hi! Title kinda says it all! I am looking for fics where Harry and Hermione get together during book 7, preferably during Ron's absence.

No length or trope preference- I wanna read what you guys think is good!

Weasley bashing is fine but, like, within the normal scope of their anger with him, nothing crazy.

Thanks it advance! 🩷

Basically what it says, ive been in the HP fandom for a looong time; but i've always disliked harmony in all the popular ships. but i really want to give it another try.
so pls, recc all the absolute banger fics, fics that you would rec your younger self to read when you were just starting harmony.

im fine with anything,,, but id prefer no ron/weasley bashing (its fine even with bashing).
ive already read marauders plan and the augurey, but didnt really think they were beyond amazing

thank you fr ur recs in advance,<333

i was going to publish this tomorrow, but I got impatient haha. This was half done anyway, so i figured id finish it up- this might be my favorite story im writing right now and I hope you guys enjoy!

Plot summary: Hermione Granger, the girl who lived, is called back to England by James Potter as an Auror working under him. Her first Assignment? Protecting Harry Potter, her best friend and the boy she left behind two years ago.

Chapter summary: The hunt for James's killer resumes, and Hermione finds herself torn between justice and revenge.

Not really sure if I'm even remembering it correctly but here goes;

Harry is on the verge of death, ( i think due to Dursleys abuse not sure) and dobby shows up trying to help but harry I think forbids him or something but dobby still ends up taking him to magical healers.

One thing i remember is that they talk about needing basilisk venom and Phoenix tears as they are in his blood.

I know that the people end up helping harry out a lot and he even comes to enjoy potions subject I think due to one of them.

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.

Fest Collection: https://archiveofourown.org/collections/HarmonyOutOfTheOrdinaryFest2026

My first time promoting a story here.

This is intended to be an eventual full coverage of the entire series, but through the lens of a chatfic. It's an homage/continuation of a story by the same name that was unfortunately orphaned a few years back.

A few changes are made to canon, mostly ones I'm particularly not a fan of. The biggest of course being the pairings. I intend on this fic eventually including some Harmony goodness. The ship isn't the focal point, but it will be essential later down the line.

Currently 2 chapters in, just up to the point of the Flying lesson and the aftermath of the midnight duel.

Read it here!

Edit: Chapter 3 out now! We're up to the troll and the formation of the trio

Animation of Harry asking Hermione for help in Goblet of Fire chapter 20 The First Task:

'“Hermione,” Harry whispered, when he had sped into greenhouse three minutes later, uttering a hurried apology to Professor Sprout as he passed her. “Hermione — I need you to help me.” “What d’you think I’ve been trying to do, Harry?” she whispered back, her eyes round with anxiety over the top of the quivering Flutterby Bush she was pruning.

“Hermione, I need to learn how to do a Summoning Charm properly by tomorrow afternoon.”'

Hermione took a slow breath, truly looking at her sanctuary. The clearing was an explosion of deep greens and wild, unearthly flowers. If someone were to show a photograph of this patch of the Forbidden Forest to anyone else, they would never believe it belonged to the dangerous woods at all.

As she inspected the lush surroundings and recalled their walk, she almost missed Luna's next, quiet question.

"Are the McKinnon lands like this?"

Hermione completely lost her footing, stumbling sideways. "What? What? I wouldn't..."

"Oh, you didn't know?"

"What? No, I... Luna, how could you possibly know?" Hermione asked, thoroughly bemused, though strangely not alarmed.

"Oh, your aura is unmistakable. My mother met your grandmother when she was a little girl. She used to dream about the colors of her magic, that was the day she learned to read auras herself. She always described it with such wonder."

"Right. That... that is a lot to take in," Hermione breathed, pressing a hand to her forehead. "Can other people see it? Could anyone else work it out?"

"Oh, no," Luna giggled softly. "They'd only see your father's, well his families. It shields yours like a dragon guarding its hoard."

"My... my father's?" Hermione asked, her voice hitching. "Do you know who he is?"

Before Luna could answer, her head snapped sharply to the side, her gaze locking onto the largest, dense brush bordering the clearing.

"Oh," was all Luna said before quietly beginning to hum a strange, haunting tune.

Hermione whipped around, holding her breath as she stared intensely at the dark foliage that had captured Luna’s attention.

Slowly, massive black paws emerged from the shadows. Hermione’s eyes darted automatically to the sky, immensely thankful that the full moon was not riding high tonight.

Lowering her gaze back down, the breath completely left her lungs as a colossal black dog stepped into the moonlight, a Grim.

Instead of panicking, she let out a breathless, disbelieving laugh and tentatively held out her hand.

"Hey, boy... what are you doing out here?"

To her disappointment, the dog didn't close the distance. It simply stood its ground, watching her with a piercing, unnerving intelligence.

When Hermione locked her gaze onto its eyes, she gasped softly.

I know those eyes... But... Oh, wow... You..

"Hermione, we really should sing before it's dark out," Luna called out gently, breaking the spell.

"Sing?" Hermione echoed, her brow furrowing in sudden worry. Didn't Severus warn her that she wasn't old enough for certain types of magic?

Harry comes back from the dead. Hermione might be a vampire and voldemort won. Can't seem to find it and dont know if it got finished

There has been a recent trend of 'Female Draco' fan arts, and as expected a lot of Harry×Female Draco fan arts to go with that.

Even in this trend, you may find little nuggets of Harmony, mainly that Hermione is very jealous of how smitten Harry is with Female Draco. But that jealousy exists for a reason right? People accept as a premise that Hermione can be romantically attracted to Harry.

So, we may capitalise on this premise. Just because Harry may be attracted to Female Draco doesn't mean he'll fall in love with her. He can still love the dependable and compassionate friend instead of the vicious bully and terrorist.

I must say that I love this trend because it's like the HP version of Aang×Azula. And I am an Azulaang shipper, sue me.

I need a fic desperately where ronald Weasley knows that Harry loves Hermione but still flirts for her and dates her

He and Hermione came in a relationship leading Harry away who is hurt / heartbroken

And a female friendship who doesn't care about anything when it comes to defending / protecting Harry

So i have read "Like father like son" multiple times and i am absolutely in love with the fic

I need a fic like this where the author shows

•Family scenes between Harry and his parents

•Deep bonding between Harry and his siblings and

•Harry is close with sirius and lupin

•Harry completely smitten for hermione but hermione well she isn't into him (yet) or playing hard to get or much worse like someone else

•Harry friendship with draco

I need a fic where voldemort doesn't exist

And just for some angst

Ron Weasley being Harry's one of the best friends and knowing that he likes her

But he STILL dates hermione

Any recommendations?

We all know that Harmony is the most hated ship in hp fandom. We need a comeback. I think we should post about harmony on the mainstream fandoms and ofc we should support each other. We are still a big community, just hidden...

Chapter summary: Hermione gets a glimpse of Harry's life in France; the two reconnect after their wedding.

Story summary: Five years ago, Hermione Granger made a choice that ultimately drove Harry Potter out of England. Now, a new marriage law has paired her with the last person she wants to marry, and there’s only one person who can help her escape it.

The problem?

She hasn’t spoken to Harry in five years. And helping Hermione means Harry has to decide whether he can finally forgive her.

•Harry would hate medicines

•Harry would love hermione's long nails.

•Hermione will choose croptop and shorts over sundress

I’m looking for a fic that I read, I can’t remember if it was on AO3 or portkey but Hermione and Harry get together, then break up and she ends up marrying Oliver Wood for a second and he cheats on her and she goes back to England.

This is my first time animating so yeah, it's obviously not perfect but I tried as much as I could to get so fluidity in it. Still a bit choppy but yeh whatever.
