Excellent work of fiction for your enjoyment. It is an Harry Potter/Artemis Fowl crossover, seen from Hermione's point of view. Read and judge yourselves.

Title:The Rapunzel Complex
Author: Dim Aldebaran and Saeriel.

Excerpt:

O, what a seductive thing this was! She would have hours to look into it, if she so chose-a simple spell on the door, and the Order would know she was working on something and was Not To Be Disturbed. To even pour through select memories of Voldemort-ones that he chose to manipulate the viewer with-would be well worth whatever reprimand would be given to her, even if she was somehow found out.

When entering memories into a Pensieve, one could not lie or edit the truth-and one couldn’t always control what went in.

Even Voldemort made mistakes.

One thing was certain. Once Dumbledore looked in, no one else would be able to, mind-trap spells or no. It was now, or never.

Hermione was not a stupid girl, nor an impulsive one. In fact, one of Snape’s rare praises was that her cool-headedness and logical approach to problems was what made her such a good code-breaker.

That, however, had been followed by a scathing remark that had left her baffled-that true geniuses did not sit and study textbooks all day, just like true wolves never paused to sharpen their teeth before the hunt.
