Eight Years Chapter 1, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net

Eight Years Chapter 1, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net by Drivelicious



Synopsis: Hermione thought that using her time turner would help save lives; instead she found herself back in time and falling for the wrong Weasley. HG&BW

Pairing: Bill/Hermione

Rating: T/PG-13

My View: This story is short, but sweet. There aren't many Bill and Hermione stories out there, but I love this story. During the assault of Hogwarts (at the end of HBP) Hermione grabs a time turner and tries to go back to give the Order more time, but finds herself eight years in the past and runs into Head Boy himself, Bill Weasley. She stays at Hogwarts and hangs with Charlie, Bill, and Tonks. Quite quickly Bill and Hermione build a loving friendship that ignited into a romance, but Hermione does have to go back. So the only question is can love wait eight years.

I love this story. Bill is sweet and charming. I enjoyed all the characters. The author kept it pretty close to canon except what Hermione managed to change. You'll have to read to find out what.

Bookends Chapter 1, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net

Bookends Chapter 1, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net by Selmak



Synopsis: There's a new Weasley on the way! Arthur's the dad and Hermione's the mum! How do the Weasleys react?

Pairing: Hermione/Arthur W.

Rating: M/R (suggestions and language... it's not that bad people!)

My View: Now I know I have confessed to strange pairings in the past and this is one of those, but this story of two lonely people trying to solace and love together is heartwarming and tender. I was surprised at how short yet how wonderful it was. After ten years of marriage, Ron and Hermione divorce so that Ron can live with the love of his life, Harry Potter. Broken and childless she hatches a plan. She will go to a pub and pick up a man! Any man to do the job. Meanwhile Arthur who is so horribly lonely after watching his beloved wife's memory slip away, he goes to a pub just be surrounded by some noise for a few hours. Quickly, these two lonely broken hearted people share something incredibly sweet. What will the Weasleys have to say about this?

I love Arthur, Hermione, George, Percy, and Angelina in this story. Teddy is really sweet too. These characters are well written and while the story isn't that long there is nothing wasted here. It may not sound like a pairing you would normally read and for that I will agree with you, but I have found that sometimes the strangest pairings make the most interesting stories.

That is my very first banner. I am trying my hand at GIMP (it's a tough one). I hopefully will have my banner for my own story up next.

IN HONOR OF GUY FAWKES DAY: Rules of Conduct Chapter 1: Oops, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net

Rules of Conduct Chapter 1: Oops, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net by BittyBlueEyes

Synopsis: A potion study gone terribly wrong causes Hermione and Fred to see each other in a whole new way. Rated M for language and possible suggestive themes. sorry no smut here *Complete*

Rating: M/R (for suggestions)

Pairing: Fred/Hermione

My View: Gryffindors are celebrating their victory in Quidditch when Fred tries to bring Hermione into the party. Hermione is working on a special potions project when Fred accidentally takes a swig of it. The potion brings about a wacky version of Freak Friday that is sure to have you laughing out loud. I loved this story which is why this author is also on my favorite author's list. I love magical mishap stories. The plot is outrageous and hilarious. Hermione learns about how to be a guy and play Fred even better than Fred while Fred learns how to be a girl and a better Hermione than even Hermione. Meanwhile no one can find out their little secret. Hijinks and hilarity ensues and in honor of Guy Fawkes Day, I say...

Enjoy!

Unexpected Consequences Chapter 1: Flight, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net

Unexpected Consequences Chapter 1: Flight, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net by Kimberlee18

Synopsis: Hermione has been living with Sirius and Remus in Grimmauld place for a year. Everything has been going well until one fateful full moon when the wolfsbane potion fails and Hermione gets bitten. How will she handle her new life? Mature. HG/RL,HG/SB. Note: This story takes place about a year after the final battle. In this fiction Sirius Black never fell through the veil, Remus Lupin and Severus Snape lived, and Tonks never existed. This fic is rated M for language and scenes of a mature nature later on. This fic is mostly HG/RL with some HG/SB as a possibility later on.

Rating: M/R (for a few mature scenes, but nothing too smutty)

Pairing: Remus/Hermione, Hermione/Sirius (believe me it works!)

My View: I am surprised that this story has so few reviews. It's not an incredibly long story, but it's well done and there aren't many like this. Few authors out there can take the "Hermione got bit" plot and really see it through to the end. Most give up after a few chapters which is why this story is on my favorites list. I enjoyed Kimberlee's take on this plot. She gives reasonable explanations about werewolves, a well structured plot, and smooth follow through. Remus bites Hermione one night when the wolfbane's potion is taken too late. I adore how she wrote Hermione to be strong through this ordeal. Too many writers make Hermione incredibly weepy and too emotional for my tastes, but this author nailed it. I liked how Remus, Sirius, and Snape were written. Snape and Hermione are friends which I adore. I like the SS/HG pairings (they are my FAVORITE, but I do enjoy them as friends). Remus and Sirius promise to help her through the transformation, but what they didn't anticipate... was what a girl goes through. Fast paced and enjoyable little read. I was slightly saddened that Tonks wouldn't exist in this story, but it probably made the story simpler to write and follow. Check it out!

TimeTurner Twist Chapter 1: Thrown thru Time, a harry potter fanfic - FanFiction.Net by Morloth

Synopsis: Nine of the HP characters are thrown forward in time. Here they ALL meet their children to be. And the paring of the future don't agree with all of them. HrSS HpDm …

Rating: T/ PG-13

Pairing: Severus and Hermione (and others as well)

My View: Seventh year (yes it is AU, but those tend to be the best, no?) Slytherins and Gryffindors have a mishap during their Potions lesson and nine of them (Snape included) travel 21 years into the future. Dumbledore still as the Headmaster decides to de-age Snape and have the time travelers all attend classes. There they meet their children and boy are they in for a surprise. Especially when Snape runs into someone he never thought would exist. It hilarious glorious fun. I especially love Snape, Hermione, Harry, Draco, and all their kids in this piece. The story is well crafted and enjoyable to read. Enjoyable plot with a twist ^^ Check it out!
