Here is our sixth BONUS Sue. Don't worry... the Sue's name isn't Linday. No, this one is a bit different. Thirteen days left to vote.

Hmm... wonder if I can find a fanfic where 1D goes to Hogwarts. Well, actually... I believe I did awhile back. It was Love is Real by elliebronbron. With as many infractions as that kiddo had in that one fanfic it

Y'know, the girls just come across as idiots for not realizing the boys were under a spell. But what really gets me is that the guys are more concerned with their girlfriends not listening to them than the fact that they were all just raped. When their rapists tell them point blank what they did, the guys get upset, but not really angry.

Rape aside, it's not hard to tell the girls you were under a spell. Shout it at them before they can walk away, if you need to. Not to mention any one of the four could probably manage to get one of the other girls to listen, especially Ron or Harry to Hermione, or Ron to Ginny.

That's not even getting in to the fact that you can't just randomly stick Hermione with Draco, Ron with Pansy, or Ginny with Blaise. Really, I'm not that willing to just accept Luna/Harry with no explanation, but that's mild compared to the other three.

On a final note:
not to mention dresses that they get from a shop that can only be seen by girls with a broken heartI initially interpreted this as that the dresses could

I think it's made even worse by the fact that the boys don't even remember it happening, until this Veronica person comes and gloats at them about it. So basically these girls have placed the boys under the spell and made them do stuff which they don't even remember afterwards, and then the girls enjoy showing off about it. I'm pretty sure that's illegal in the wizarding world even without the sex element - it's called the Imperius Curse. And in the real world it would most definitely be illegal - isn't that the equivalent of drugging someone so that they have no control over their actions and won't really remember being raped? But because it's girls doing it to guys rather than the other way round, the tone of the fic seems to be implying that it's not so bad and kind of funny. Which it isn't. It's sick. This fanfic disturbs me and I'm worried by the Suethor's way of thinking.

They might have just been cursed into a stupor, in which case it's not an Unforgivable, but it's still the equivalent of slipping someone a roofie.

[indigoneutrino]

Pretty much. Everything about this is pretty screwed up with what the girls do in the first place and how everyone reacts to it.

Even if it isn't an unforgivable curse, the wizarding world has laws involving love spells and other spells that take away people's freedom. My question is why no legal action was taken by the guys. Oh wait... because they aren't victims in this, they're the lying, cheating bastards. Yeah... some Suethor's really need to learn what cheating actually constitutes among other things.

Actually I'm quite doubtfull about that. Fred&George had no moral problems with selling love potions to crazy Harrys' fangirls, said fangirls had no problem feeding those potions to Harry. Nobody gives second thoughts about Meropa charming Riddle senior (totally unsuspecting muggle at that). Or having to cure Ron of love potion intoxication. Hell, even Molly has a line that goes like "let me tell you girls the amazing story of my love potion that I made when I was young".

None of that has any repercussions (only Hermione says something about possibility confiscating them. And yet noone else cares.). It seems that Wizarding World is just as bad at this as about bodily harm.

That of course tells us what we already knew [enslavement of elves, rampant specieism, ridiculous amound os stupidity in populace, psychotic tendencies of many "noble houses", kangaroo courts, Dark Lords spring up like mushrooms everywhere, etc.]. Wizarding World is quite a dystopia (or a Crapsack World if you like). :P

I'd forgotten that bit.

I always assumed that most love potions are relatively weak (Note: the one Ron drank was not supposed to be that strong or blatant). Ramilda's goal was just to get invited to a party, after all, not to have Harry run away with her in a whirlwind romance. To use a muggle analog, most love potions would be akin to buying someone a few drinks before asking them out, whereas Amortentia (or whatever the girls did in this fic) would be slipping them a roofie.
