Stories by Herminia

  1. Let Those Who Are Awake Be Awake by Herminia

    Inspired by the line “love and loss and hope” in the New York Times review of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. Wrote this on the eve of Deathly Hallows coming out, so it's SPOILER (and OBHWF) FREE!

  2. Plenty That He Doesn't Know At All by Herminia

    Inspired by a line from Jon McGregor’s So Many Ways to Begin: "No, but really, I mean, he said, bring his leg up towards hers, running his hand down her thigh, there must be plenty that I don’t know at all." Takes place during HBP—what might have happened if Ron and Lavender hadn’t intruded.

  3. From Now On by Herminia

    A little Christmas in April, anybody? Harry and Hermione have themselves a merry little Christmas Eve. Set during Year Seven.

  4. Something's Gotta Give by Herminia

    After the war, Harry and Hermione struggle to strike a new balance in their relationship.

  5. Right Where You Left Me by Herminia

    "Her brain registers the use of the past tense and wonders momentarily if she’s the same girl she was at ten years of age, the little girl who kicked up her heels and chased after the Hogwarts Express as it picked up steam. It’s funny, she thinks; she’s been playing catch-up all these years." Even if you despise Ginny Weasley with every bone in your body, you MIGHT like this.

  6. And Let Them Last by Herminia

    "She laughs, soft and low. What do they have to be afraid of? They’re just two teenagers in a back bedroom. Beyond the next five—fifteen—forty minutes, they have nothing planned, no grand designs. There are no guarantees, no mile markers in the unmapped expanse of the future – their future."

  7. Three Reasons Why Brevity Should be Against the Law and One by Herminia

    zOMGz - FLUFF! There's a good chance this will make you physically ill. I would equate reading it with drinking a gallon of pure maple syrup. Proceed at your own risk. 541 words. Written for Calmacil20’s 21st birthday…

  8. Some Things Aren't Meant To Be by Herminia

    At Bill and Fleur's wedding, things don't go according to Ginny Weasley's plan. Anti-Harry/Ginny, pro-Neville/Ginny, with strong hints of a budding Harry/Hermione relationship...

  9. "Maybe Someday" Things by Herminia

  10. Assorted One-Shots and Drabbles by Herminia

    Just an assortment of drabbles, one-shots, and short fics centering on Harry/Hermione, Ron/Luna, Neville/Ginny, and anti-Harry/Ginny. Fluff, angst, and action.

  11. He Really is Divine? by Herminia

    So, what transpired during those infamous “sunlit days” Harry and Ginny wiled away in each other’s presence? Ginny’s POV. The OBHWF argument is the Rowling wants us to fill in the blanks and make inferences about what went on... Here's a Harmonian's take on it... QUOTE: "At close range, she can see that his eyes are indeed as green as a fresh pickled toad, but he doesn’t look her way when he talks. If he talks, she should say. He’s always looking over her shoulder, out across the lake or even at Hagrid’s hut. It drives her to distraction – why won’t he look her in the eye?" IMPLIED H/Hr, or at least FAILED H/G.

  12. Brink of a Nightmare by Herminia

    Harry Potter's seventh year at Hogwarts was never going to be easy. With four Horcruxes on the loose, Death Eaters conducting hit-and-run raids in the countryside, and the Ministry unhelpfully dogging his every move, the last thing he needs is a conflict of the heart...but he can't help but see his best friend, Hermione Granger, in a new light. ***Has been described as a "very true-to-canon" rendition, with a Harmonious twist.

  13. Farewell to You Tonight by Herminia

    The War is over, but peace came at too high a price. EXCERPT: "She forgot that he tasted like orange rind and Ginger Newts when she kissed him. She forgot the lump in her throat when she’d told him she loved him – always had and always would."

  14. See It to Believe It by Herminia

    An occurrence at Grimmauld Place during Harry, Ron, and Hermione's Seventh year...

  15. A Sure Cure for Loser's Lurgy by Herminia

    In the darkest days of the Second War, Ron and Luna have depended on each other's comfort and companionship, but Luna Lovegood hardly dared to believe that they would ever be any more than "just friends." This was written to accompany my Year Seven (H/Hr) fan fic, but it's not necessary to read that for this one-shot to make sense.

  16. Something Borrowed by Herminia

    Bill and Fleur's Wedding, Take One. With "spirits" flowing freely and stresses running high, will Harry finally see his best friend, Hermione, as something...more? My intent is for this fic to be a few chapters long. It's a different take from my Year Sevene piece, if you've read it.

  17. House of Cards by Herminia

    When Ginny Weasley wed Harry Potter, she expected to live happily ever after...

  18. Teacups and Frogspawn: The Confessions of Petunia Dursley by Herminia

    Petunia Dursley may not be as callous and cold-hearted as she first appears. In this fan fic, she reflects on her sister's life, loves, and premature death at the hands of Lord Voldemort.

  19. Hazy Shade of Winter by Herminia

    Midway through his seventh and final year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Harry Potter finds himself rethinking matters of the heart where Hermione Granger is concerned... Very brief one-shot. Harry breaks up with Ginny and pines for Hermione.
