In This World and the Next Chapter 9

It's been a while, I know, but I'm back. I can't make any promises as to a schedule, but I'm hoping to get cracking with this and Hogwarts Overexposed over the coming year.

Also, if you haven't already, check out A Perfectly Ordinary Nightmare: I wrote it as a reaction to the first chapter of ITWATN. It's basically how that set-up would pan out if

Okay, at least in KiP they didn't knock down the Burrow. Well, Lord Potter didn't knock down the Burrow

You might want to read some dark!Hermione for ideas. I don't have any recs, but I know there's a fair bit out there.

Maybe. I want to keep the characters acting like they would, given the passage of time, but Hermione and Luna didn't have enough personality or agency to see what they would do since they didn't really do anything besides Banishing the leftover Horcrux goop or threatening Bellatrix.

Ironic, from a series known for its powerful ladies, to say the least...

[szaleniec1000]

It's interesting because the author seems to be sympathetic to the idea of strong female characters but fails miserably in the execution.

Yeah, he had an attack on wizarding Britain as being supposedly misogynist (not that that really matches with the books, but I digress...) and I'd say that Emma is probably supposed to be some sort of action girl-esque character without being just a man in a dress, but when your female lead's actions basically all consist of doing whatever her supposed equal orders...

That might actually work. I'm not sure if even KiP!Hermione would let herself act like she's the inferior to Lord Potter, even if she technically is, but her acting very Umbridge-esque would fit in with how Dan and Emma act in it (blood quills and everything).
