It is part parody, part romance, part general drama, and completely A/U. I have followed canon very loosely, drawing some inspiration from the films as well as the books. I have completely ignored the ending of HBP. For the purposes of this story, I needed Dumbledore alive, and so alive he is – at least here! The events of the books are meant to serve only as a framework on which to hang my plot. Events that, in the books, may have taken place over several days or even weeks are compressed into one day, or completely ignored. This is deliberate and I intend no disrespect to the story that JKR is telling. Almost all encounters between Hermione Granger and Severus Snape are the product of my own imagination. I wrote this story in response to a challenge posed on the WIKTT forum by Ladyofthemasque. The Challenge goes like this: Lost in a Book Challenge Offered by Ladyofthemasque Based upon the story “Lost in a (Not So) Good Book” by Bubblebunny (http://ashwinder.sycophanthex.com/viewstory.php?sid=12466) Here’s the Lost in A Book Challenge: 1.

At the age of 6, when I was in the first grade, the grade where Americans generally learn to read, I absolutely hated it. My teacher, Mrs. Johnson, would call on students to stand up and read passages to the class. I would stare in awe as other kids would read their sentences flawlessly, even as butterflies rattled in my stomach, as I waited in dread for her to call on either myself or my twin sister.

  • "All Because of Hermione Granger" "Angst - Destruction"
    "All Because of Hermione Granger" "Angst - Destruction" Life was absolute shit, Harry decided. He’d lost the last link to his parents, his godfather, and Remus had treated him like he’d just dropped out of Moony’s butt during a full moon. The last day of term. Tomorrow, Harry would be setting off to the Dursleys, for another summer of chaos and misery. It had been exactly eight days since the damned fight at the Ministry of Magic. Eight days since Sirius had been knocked through the Veil of Death in the Department of Mysteries by his own cousin. Eight days since Dumbledore had told him that the fate of the world, literally, rested on his shoulders. His friends had been a little distant, probably on Dumbledore’s orders. Let him rest. Let him grieve in peace. It is what he needs right now. He could almost picture the meeting. Brave Ron, nodding in agreement because it was Dumbledore who told them. Beautiful Hermione, wanting the best for Harry. If Dumbledore, the greatest wizard in the world, didn’t know what was best for Harry, at least in her eyes, who would? Since then, he’d been moping around the castle. He’d turned up for lessons, let them go over his head so high they hadn’t even ruffled his hair. It didn’t matter. None of it really mattered. Hermione. She was part of the reason he was in such pain. When Dolohov’s curse had hit her, Harry’s brain locked. A single thought ran through it, Don’t be dead! Don’t be dead! When Neville had checked her, and found a pulse, Harry could have cried.

  • Elizabeth Gagne' Mentor
    Gagne’ 1 Elizabeth Gagne’ Mentor: Dr. Laura Hakala Grad Research Symposium Malfoy, Draco Malfoy: Exploring Toxic Masculinity in Harry Potter When people think about Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, or any book in the series by J. K. Rowling, they typically think of Harry Potter and his friends, Hermione Granger and Ronald Weasley. Rarely do they think about Draco Malfoy. Considering the #MeToo movement and the exposure of toxic masculinity, characters like Malfoy become pivotal in understanding how we identify masculinity in adolescents. Especially since most of the conversations taking place about Harry Potter, mainly focuses on Harry himself and those he is in close connection with. This encompasses scholarship as well, where the primary focus is on Harry. Draco Malfoy plays a prominent role in some of the keys points and scenes within multiple Harry Potter books, and therefore his character and actions are important. Annette Wannamaker believes that “in more than a few contemporary texts written for boys, masculinity is—not always but quite often—portrayed in complicated, contradictory, often paradoxical ways that highlight the difficult negotiations that boys are making as they develop gendered identities within, against, or on the margins of current cultural constructions of masculinity” (Boys in Children’s Lit 10). Draco Malfoy is a character that develops his masculinity through the influence of what it means to be a pureblood wizard, which stems from the teaching and impact his parents and society have on him. There is also influence from his peers and what it means to be a Slytherin, a Hogwarts house that is known for unsavory characters.

Abstract: Hermione Granger as Girl Sleuth in the Harry Potter Series Reappearing in the long tradition of girl sleuths such as Carolyn Keene’s Nancy Drew, Hermione Granger interrupts the centrality of the male-fantasy-adventure in the Harry Potter series. Throughout the novels, Hermione asserts her own subjecthood and participates in a shared agency to change from a scared girl into a woman battling for justice. Clearly, the Harry Potter series can affect readers differently. Some may perceive the comparisons to the Nancy Drew role of Era Three when Hermione uses her wits to detect clues, solve mysteries, and uncover suspects and their motives. Although others may stereotype Hermione as the conventional female helpmate, still others may find that her take-charge personality affirms that her role is equal to Harry’s.

Their main goal was the preservation of law regarding magic. Furthermore, the Ministry of Magic keeps Muggles from finding out about the culture of magical folk. Essentially, the Ministry is a complicated and highly inefficient bureaucracy. Their headquarters are in London and are made up of various Departments. Boards, Committees, and Offices, all of whom enforce the regulations and rules of laws. The Ministry tackles different aspects such as commerce, transportation, magical creatures, sport, and international relations. Within the ministry, there are numerous law enforcement agencies. Their roles are to maintain order, impose laws and rules, manage security breaches, and operate Azkaban (prison for magical criminals). Besides this, the Ministry also maintains groups of Hit-police who protect the wizarding world and deal with criminals. The Wizengamot, High Wizard Court, is a governing body that serves as the ultimate judge of justice for the wizarding world. The ministry unites the British government to the world of witchcraft. Every prime minister of Britain is visited by the Minister for Magic.
