Dudley's death has left a gap in the narrative and Birdsie writes solid bromance. Hermione's neat, but I don't think Harry should cater to Geist on a decision that's been highlighted as crucial to the plot. Ron has the makings of a good friend and voice of reason to counterbalance Geist's baggage train. Besides, what we've been told of the Weasleys in this AU is interesting; I don't recall any another story where the wealth imbalance favors them.Birdsie on Discord said:I want Ron to be, almost, a meta-subversion of the already-present subversion of Gryffindor for this story
I'll create Ron Weasley, and I will make you respect him
I'll create Hermione Granger, and I'll make you fear her
Have you read Hermione Learns A Thing? If you both like this fic and liked canon Hermione, it really ought to appeal to you.[X] Hermione Granger
I adored her in the books and I loved to see the next update give her some spotlight.
It becomes a friendly rivalry due to our swagger, and Birdsie has mentioned wanting to make us fear Hermione? Occasionally doing our own thing rather then letting ourselves be subsumed by Geist's preferences?[X] Hermione Granger - ++Hermione.
Why wouldn't you pick the best Mage of her Generation?
