Hogwarts Exposed Chapter 24 part 10

In this update, Harry and Hermione dispense relationship advice. Yes, this really belongs towards the end of the final chapter. I don't think.

I thought Ginny was some kind of slut they all hated?

[warlock_female]

Marry them both Ginny! Problem solved.

Given that Harry takes a second wife later, that would sound like the idea option. Given how misogynistic this series is though, I'm inclined to think that while a guy taking multiple wives is perfectly fine, a girl taking multiple husbands would be considered an outrageous skank.

[szaleniec1000]

Just like women who take the initiative in a relationship, or women who won't (or can't: see the "reproductive organs" incident) breed. For all Neil's soapboxing about how horribly repressed our society is, his attitude towards gender makes the 1950s look enlightened.

"The whole 'Ginny and Trelawney are BFFs' thing seems to be made up entirely, or possibly imported from Psychic Serpent, as in canon there's no indication that they have any kind of relationship beyond teacher/student. Or even that she took Divination at all."

Or that she's the sort to be into Divination in the slightest. Ginny was more fiery and social than Hermione true, but she was just as down-to-earth. Luna I could buy (in the sixth book, she and Trelawny really did bond over one of the Quibbler's stories), but Ginny?

The author pretty clearly hates Ginny. And he probably doesn't like Trelawney all that much either. So what's the best way to "subtly" show that Ginny is evil? Make her BFFs with Trelawney.

So why does Harry suddenly want to bang Ginny's head into the table? Is it because she's attracted to a Slytherin (never mind that I think Draco/Ginny is stupid) or is it because she's attracted to, of all people, Snape? I never understood this part.

Okay, never understood it to the best of my ability, really. Outside thoughts?

[szaleniec1000]

It's because he's annoyed at her for messing around his best mates: Draco and Snape. Wait, that doesn't work either.

Just as he thought the annoying redundancy couldn't possibly get any more annoyingly redundant, szaleniec1000 came across the most annoying redundancy yet.
"This is annoyingly redundant," he said with annoyance at the redundancy.
The redundancy was annoyingly redundant. Therefore, its redundancy was annoying."I understand your dissatisfied complaint," replied SickBritKid, his sympathy towards szaleniec's situation evoking a sympathetic reaction, "Allow my to direct you to the Redundant Department of Redundancy Department. Perhaps they might be able to address your dissatisfaction towards this fanfic's tendency to repeat itself, also known as redundancy

I threw in a few references to how the narrator has this tendency toward Don't Explain the Joke, where Neil basically spells out everything letter by letter, assuming his readers are drooling mongoloids.

See also: Halcyon, who does this to JKR's jokes when he plagiarises them. Though it's particularly important for jokes, I'd generalise it to say that anything the reader can infer doesn't need to be directly stated. In my example, Harry telling Ginny that he thought it was her day off shows us that it would normally have been her day off and that he's surprised to see her without actually having to tell us.

On an unrelated note: I have an idea for your next sporking once you've finished with Hogwarts Exposed.

How about Legacy of the Force: Revelation by Karen Traviss? Or any other of her Star Wars novels? That way, you could break into sporking Profic as well as find a worthy successor to this load of...shite.That might not be a bad idea. I've already got some stuff lined up for the gap between Exposed and Too Exposed, though. I

Any chance we'll know what they're ahead of time?
