Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy

Can be written quite brilliantly. Many people don't like slash, but there are a few very tastefully written ones. Personally i like some slash, and this story made me a huge fan.

Black Truth

This is how I interpreted the characters as I read the book & the reasons I think this pairing can work:

Draco Malfoy: Although Malofy continually teased Hermione, calling her Mudblood, and put Ron down for being poor, I think that Draco could have learened to like Harry, Ron, and Hermione, if he hadn't grown up with Lucius, a person who was more concerned with self-presevation than showing love to his wife and son. I always felt that Draoc, like Sev, bent to the Pruebloodism bracket to please his father, and as a way to get love and approval.

I don't mind the different persona's of Draco, but I prefer Canon Draco... it makes the yaoi much more appealing and realistic.

Harry Potter: I think if he hadn't been 'the savior of the Wizarding World' that Harry would have ended up with Malofy as an enemy anyway, just because of his parentage. However, I've always seen Harry as naieve, vunerable, yet mature and able to deal with thigns as they come. But as Amy or somebody else mentioned in this or another thread, socially inept, and nervous.

I like this pairing because I think, if written write, and with the correct in-character qualities they are a dymanic duo, and make quite an attractive couple.

I'd like to say something on the Dumbledore/Grindelwald thing. I think that if Dumbledore ever had any feelings for Grindelwald than they were probably how he immagined Grindelwald to be. I think Dumbledore knew what Grindelwald was before he tortued Aberforth and was a contibuting factor in Ariana's death he just chose to ignore it.

And as for him killing Grindelwald, Dumbledore didn't kill Grindelwald. Dumbledore defeated Grindelwald and sent him to his own prison. It was Voldemort who actually killed Grindelwald when he went to the prison looking for information on the Elder Wand. Grindelwald wouldn't tell Voldemort who got it after him and in fact claimed he never had it and Voldemort, who had just been called to Malfoy Manor, killed him.

Its one of the more difficult pairings to make believable (and readable), but when it is done well, it makes for a great read.

Harry and Draco have such a good dynamic and tension (sexual tension? in the terms of slash anyway) that it makes for fun interesting stories. Remember at the very start, Draco tried to be friends with Harry, it was Harry who didn't want friendship.

Obviously, in the bigger picture, it's completely ridiculous as neither character is gay but when have such tiny matters ever stopped ffwriters before?

Do I even need to say it? Draco's icky, lol. And in all honesty, I can't see him and Harry get along long enough to fall in love or have sex or anything other than wanting to throttle each other.

It's not my cup of tea. I can picture certain HP characters being gay, but Harry isn't one of them. Even if he was, I couldn't see him having a relationship with Draco Malfoy, a guy he can't stand.

I began reading Harry Potter FF through this pairing, so it will always have a place in my heart. Perhaps it was because it was one of those impossible relationships, or maybe because their anger and hatred toward each other could be misinterpreted into sexual tension and hidden romantic feelings - idk. But for a while they were my OTP, if you coud say I ever had one.

Anyway, I did some searching and the best and most believable HPDM fic out there (I honestly reccomend this to anyone, even those who don't like slash, it is worth the read) called Irresistible Poison, by Rhysenn. She publishes her work on her own website so if you get the chance flick through her archives.

I couldn't see him having a relationship with Draco Malfoy, a guy he can't stand.

Yeah, even if they were both gay, which they're not, They'd be trying to kill each other before anything happened.

Personally I don't like slash anyway so I might be biased but I think that this wouldn't work.

As someone who doesn't usually read slash, I have read and enjoyed a few Harry/Draco stories. I agree that their dislike towards each other can be interpreted very easily as sexual tension, and in most of the stories I've read the dynamics between the two have been great. Maybe it's just becuase I love seeing Drco in a relationship (he's so snarky and sarcastic, I love it) while Harry ins't like Draco but could definitely handle him if he wanted to. I agree that in canon, where they HATE each other, it would never work, but in fanon where you can bend the hatred to seem like repressed feelings it can work quite nicely.

***Plus I think Harry's errrr, idiocy (no offense) when it comes to relationships, coupled with Draco's demanding nature, would make for a hilarious pairing.

So while going through the topic to create a list of the pairings we've done - I didn't realise there was so many, the list is now in the opening post for this topic if you want to see all the pairings :) - I realised we hadn't done the Twins and Hermione!

Fred Weasley/George Weasley and Hermione Granger

Either one or the other or all altogether or - ick - twincest.

I enjoy Fred/Hermione and George/Hermione quite a bit because I think they could be a great influence on each other. Fred and George could get Hermione to loosen up a bit, and Hermione could get Fred and George to act a little more responsibly. I don't really go for the love triangle thing for some reason, though.

Twincest I find vile and disgusting in every way.

I don't know why, and don't understand the difference myself sometimes but I really enjoy Granger/George a lot more. They seem to click more, and sometimes more of a believable couple. They compliment each other very nicely- so do her and Fred but there is a difference sometimes.

first twincest id vile *shudders* I like George Hermione fics best they compliment eachother and George works better becuase I think that he is the more quiet twin and Hermione can be more bold and talktive. Fred works to but I prefer George I love the one were the twins test there products on Hermione it might be overdone but it is still very funny.

Also, naturally I love either of the twins with Hermione. For the same reasons everyone else above listed. I also prefer George because I lust Oliver's lips. I like threesome pairings with them as long as there's no icky twin touching involved. Incest is disgusting, twincest is vomitworthy.

edit: can't believe I forgot to attach my alltime fave Weasley twin/Hermione fic. Giving in to Temptation naturally.

"Can't have Twincest without 'win'"

That said, I actually do not like Twincest. I feel that Fred and Goerge are the type of soul mates as Best Friends are. They work well together, but their love doesn't go much more than platonic and brotherly. That said, I also dissaprove of Fratercest, no Ginny and her brothers. That is wrong. And no Patercest or Matercest for any of the Weasleys. They are a clan of Irish people, that is all.

For me I have always viewed the Twins as Fred and George. In my opinion having one withouth the other is like asking Romeo to live without Juliet. But I have always been atracted more to Fred than to George. This how I see the twins:

Fred: He is the logical and intellectual one. He can be serious when it calls for it but he prefers to be loud and laugh. However, he is more nervous around girls.

George: He is the brains behind the pranks, loud, outgoing, and prefers to be silly most of the time. He is smoother with the girls.

For me each of the Twins is the others half. Like Yin/Yang. They ballance each other out and fuction more completely when they are together. If one were to die (although I keep him alive) the other would be severly down trodden.

As I've said before I like many versions of Hermione, but I think the book-prude version works best for being with Fred and George. It's more of a ballance and each person chagnes just enough to be compatable. I prefer Hermione/George... I think they work a lot better than Fred/Hermione...

Also, as long at there isn't a Dawson's Creek love triangle between hermione, it is amusing when she ends up with both Twins in a three way, as long as the Twins stick to pleasuring Hermione.

It's also amusing to see the Twins compete for Hermione...

'Twins' is a good Hermione/George fanfiction.

Twin -heart- forever.

First, I am not a fan of Hermoine/Any Weasley other than Ron. I think if Hermoine doesn't end up with Ron (which i obviously prefer) it seems cruel to have her end up with one of his brothers. Especially since JK introduced us to Ron having an inferiority complex in regards to his brothers. That aside Hermoine doesn't seem confident enough to deal with the flabouant personality of one twin much less the both of them.

Lastly, Jazz E., your discription of the twins personality from your point of view is awsome although I am interested to know if your perspective and conclusion comes from some combination of cannon tidbits or just your own imagination.

Bishop: I percieved them this way. I always felt, from reading the book, and wether or not J.K. Rowling meant to, that Fred was more of a background Twin... It seemed to me that George was always in the forefront... Although, I also perscieved them as two halves that make a whole... so yin/yang. Like Fred w/o George would be extremely weird and vise versa. I definitely go off of what I remember of the books. Although, i'm sure it's either backwards, like my mind has reversed how JK Rowling wrote one twin over the other, or my mind just made it up.... I think the former is probably truer.

Jazz - I must know! Where do you get the Irish thing from? I have never once thought the Weasley's were Irish and i would like to know where that idea came from.

I love George and Hermione together, these days that is the only Hermione pairing I don't feel is forced and thoroughly made up. As you all know by now I very rarely read M/F romance but I still love Hr/G as a side pairing.

Hermione Twins together is also fabulous and I agree with everyone that so long as the boys are concentrating on Hermione it is one very hot pairing, mind you, I don't think i have met a threesome yet that I didn't like.

My argument on this sbject is weak i know but really if I didn't like this pairing/threesome why on earth would be i be a frequent visitor to this forum? If I was a canon Nazi I would go find somewhere else to lay my hat and call that place home.

Vette... I kind of assumed they were Irish.. red hair, blue eyes... it all screamed Irish to me... if they aren't oh well... but i assumed and i am going to stick with that... my first impression of them was as an Irish family with a large extended family

Jazz E: That is really cool. i have read the series multiple times and it has become aparent that as people read they become attached to certain characters, paying closer attention to whatever small clues JK left in the text for people to extrapulate on. Your insight, while I cannot agree or disagree is very interesting and lines up with the twins that I know (It works with close siblings as well) where one is more outgoing and the other is more introspective.

I would'nt count myself amoungst the "cannon nazis" that seem to offend some on the forum but I didn't think accepting this pairing was a pre-requisite for this forum. But since i haven't been here since it's inception I might be wrong. I won't lie I am a great fan of all the fannon pairings except Neville and Luna not ending up togehter but that's not the current topic.

Finally to be more clear. My problem with Hermoine/Twins is that I think they are too flambouyant for her. In fact i think there reaction to her over dependence on books could easily turn into a bullying hurtfull situation. They are creative and experimental and her personality (as evidenced in HBP) would not sit still for the type of out of book solutions they find in their inventions. Add to that the fact that they prefer a workable shortcut to guaranteed results and they would constantly be fighting. The oposites attract argument only works if you beleive the twins personalities are opposite Hermoine's, which I don't.

bishop: No you don't have to be a Twins/Hermione lover to post here. It's not a prerquisite at all. I just became a fan of it after reading some good fanfiction. I've found that not only do I write better and more well-rounded fanfictions now that I've opened my mind to pairings, but I find the smallest and most trivial enjoyments in fanfictions that I read. For example the way that RemusLives (who writes very good Hermione/Remus) plays with Remus and Hermione or how Amy writes smut but it's so believable because she has a great talent for keeping them in character. i have my favorite pairings as well. Maybe come to my forum and we can discuss pairings and what not.

First, stop talking crap in this topic

Second, new pairing!

Ginny Weasley and Hermione Granger

Ahh Jack, thats disgusting!! I have to throw up now.

Lol Kara, I presume that means you don't like it?

The only time I've read this was on adult fan fiction and no, I wasn't in a lesbian mood. It was a threesome with Harry, they were trying to cheer him up so they started um... engaging in sexual activity in front of him. Lol, he was cheered.

I don't know how this would work as an actual relationship though, they are both strong indepentant women and I think they would clash. Maybe they could be lesbians with Luna, but not each other.

when i think of them together i want to smack Hermione and tell her to stay away from the fire-crotch. so no, i don't. Some people might, *gag* and high five to them, but not me.

Let me first of ll make it very clear that I do not want to read about what they get up to together. I can however see them working quite well as a couple especially when Harry and Ron end up together. The scenario would have to be both Hermione and Ginny are heart broken, distraught & in need of comfort. As they are basically best gal pals it is not to big of a stretch to see them taking things to the next level. I don't think it would last very long though because Hermione would miss her boys and Ginny would try to stop her seeing them. Hermione would not appreciate that and most likely tell Ginny to go jump in the lake as she will do whatever she damned well pleases.

Again I have no interest in reading fic about this pairing.

I don't like it at all either I do not think they would work. becuase one they are both to thick headed to evry get anywhere two Hermione likes the..well you know and three becuase I said so. Now Luna and Ginny or Luna Hermione that could work... but i think I should right a fic and dedicate it to Vette.

UGH Sick. Honestly i dnt think these two could work together and the fact that it disgusts me is also ewww.

Okay, looking at it from purely character perspective I have to say that they would make a dynamic lesbian couple.

Hermione Granger: Although she is painted as self-confidant, although she keeps her face hidden with a book, I view Hermione as the tortured intellectual. This is similar to the tortured artist, although Hermione doesn't write, play guitar, and she certainly isn't an acting diva. Anyways, I view her as constantly trying to prove hereslf to her world. She wants to fit in with her Muggle origins and prove to her parents and those around her that SHE gets herself where she needs to be. She indepedent and self-reliant. But at the same time in her new world she struggles to prove is the PERSON not the BLOOD that makes you a good witch. She's intelligent, cautious, but when you get in her face watch out, because you'll be dealing with an angry woman and you won't get away with hurting those she loves or cared about. She's torturted because she internalizes most of her pain, anger, sadness, and uses her intellect to hlep those she cares about.

Ginny Weasley: Although she is painted as a girl who puts herself on the line, Ginny is looking for someone to protect her. She is fighting to get her parents to let go of her. To show them that she CAN do everything better than her brothers and that she doesn't need to be protected. She throws herself into her work and at first doesn't make a lot of friends. But she's proving not only her magical ability but the strength to hold up when those she loves are in danger. She's not afraid to put herself on the line. But at the same time she doesn't see her value to other people. And she has the famed Weasley temper so stay the HELL away from her friends and famiy if your only intention is to hurt them.Despite her initial shyness Ginny is a people person and she's got the social skills to build up a good friend group. She's also more girly-tom boy. She's what she needs to be in the situation.

They would be good for each other. Ginny can give Hermione the skills to share her emotions and not hide them so much. While Hermione can teach Ginny the spells and knowledge that Ginny can use to prove herslef to her family as a capable witch.

This pairing I haven't seen alone. i read 'Secret Spells" which is a great Hermione/Ginny/Luna. As I've said before I'm open to most pairings. And I have to say that it takes not only good writing skills but also good plot balance to make any lesbian or gay pairing, wether it be canon or alternate universe, believeable.
