Fan Fic Rec: Rebuilding by Colubrina
Okay, I've been reading this BRILLIANT fic for a while now and just HAVE to rec it.
You can find it here: https://m.fanfiction.net/s/11439594/1/
Reasons to read:
1. Dramione (or Draco/Hermione romance if you're new to the sub-genre)
2. BEAUTIFULLY written exploration of the trauma the senior Hogwarts students face after the war (Hermione and Draco return to Hogwarts after the war, Harry and Ron don't). Includes students with nightmares, drinking problems, promiscuity (although not graphic this is for 16 year-olds and up), eating disorders - all the things that trauma can trigger.
3. REALLY looks at diversity at Hogwarts. Chapters have explored Padma's challenges with maintaining a vegetarian diet. (I believe because Hinduism requires vegetarianism). And the girls get their hands painted.Just now finished up a look at Chanukah where they got the elves to make latkes and jelly donuts. And Hermione FINALLY learns that spells aren't only spoken in Latin. She learns a Hebrew spell.
Side note: That's what I'M looking for in diversity in Harry Potter fan fic. Don't just slap one of the non-white characters in front of me and then change nothing else. Give me depth and detail. It really doesn't take that much.
4. It's updated consistently - daily actually (except perhaps on Sundays).
5. Chapters are short and easily read.
6. The author has over EIGHT THOUSAND (8,000+) reviews.
EXTRA Goodness - she shows Molly Weasley as the witch with a B that we all knew was under there.
