You should definitely continue this story.

I like it. Well done.

Cute

Not a fan of Harry x Hermione in any case.

Also what is the obhwf trope?

Good quick story . I think a full story could be made of this.

lovely story. The way you had the moRon speak was giving me a headache. Sorry if that is not the way you wanted it to be. for what it is worth your premiss of the plot was PDG.

Lovely tale!

Although I do enjoy fics where Ron is a true blue friend, this is version is more realistic to how JKR wrote him (talk about doing a disservice to a character intended to be her hero's best friend), as far as his laziness is concerned. I loved the HP books as a child, but they have unfortunately lost a lot of their luster after rereading them as an adult. I much prefer the fan fixes now.

I do think you took the dumbing-down of Ron's speech a tad bit too far. A person can come across lazy and ill-educated without speaking like a drooling moron. Canon Ron isn't actually stupid, but he IS terminally lazy. (I also cannot imagine Arthur or Molly allowing him to speak like that, whatever other opinions I have about them and their family.) However, it was readable, if only just.

Tropes aside, thank you for inserting a couple of responsible adults into your story. I'm not sure I buy Snape being quite that overtly nasty, but I'll suspend disbelief. He was an unmitigated bastard in canon, and one of the best/worst things the movies did for this fandom was cast Alan Rickman in the role. All that's missing here is him attempting to take points.

Thanks for sharing!

Great story. Would love to see this continued, especially with this trio having 2 professors in their corner.

Loved it

Wish there was more

I’d honestly thought I’d reviewed this story years ago. To start, ***** out of *****.

There is so much here that rings true to canon:

1. Harry being interested in his new books and in studying hard. It’s in PH in more than one place. For him to conclude that he can reach his scholastic potential without Dursley interference is a good extrapolation.

2. Do you bash Ron? Yes and no.
A. Throughout canon (only the books for me) one is struck at how few friends H&H have and that gaining friends often only comes as the result of bad things having happened — OotP is a prime example.
B. The idea that Ron discourages H&H from finding friends/maybe even goes out of his way to hog Harry’s attention (Hermione often seems more a tagalong) is strongly suggested in canon and is more explicit in fan fiction.
C. It is an undeniable fact that Ron reduces Hermione to tears in every single of the novels — CoS is the sole exception, but I think he very might have done so ‘off stage’. Truly for JKR to pair Ron and Hermione is condoning abusive relationships.
D. By exaggerating his failings you point out his poor points, and that includes the manner in which you have him speak.

3. Here Filius and Minerva actually do their damn jobs. Faculty are feckless at best, dangerously destructive at worst in canon. Dumbledore is not exempt. Binding Harry’s magic is not an out of bound extrapolation. It goes hand in hand with canon’s evidence that Albus grooms Harry to sacrifice himself. As in so much of fanon, Dumbles is every bit a Dark Lord as Riddle.

4. Of course you give us explicit Harmony, for which this Harmonian cheers. The reviewer who wants you to put them into a brother/sister relationship is on something strong!

5. It’s great to see Neville bloom, four books early. H&N&H is a far better triad.

To sum up, this story makes me smile every time I read it. Thanx!

Enjoyed your story. Thanks for sharing.

Enjoyed this little story. Thanks!

I can't... Ron can't speak English and Harry's a cringe little nerd, didn't get far enough to see what you did with Hermione, I'm betting something simpy though.

Oh nooo! Not calling professor flitwick a shrimp! How sad!

I wish this had more chapters but honestly it was still a brilliant one shot! Thanks for sharing!
