It’s So Funny How Reading Harry Potter Fanfic Has Given Me So Much More Knowledge About The Lore Than

It’s so funny how reading Harry Potter fanfic has given me so much more knowledge about the lore than just reading the books. I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s brought this up but it’s new information to me so I’m sharing it lol.

But one thing that’s crazy to me is that canonically, Hermione has a wand with a dragon heartstring core, which is a wand core that turns easily to the Dark Arts. Of course that doesn’t mean she’s necessarily a baddie but it does imply that she’s capable of it. Meanwhile, Draco canonically has a wand with a unicorn hair core, which doesn’t easily turn to the Dark Arts. Which I feel implies that he’s capable of being good. Or at the very least, he wouldn’t likely be a baddie without outside intervention which…..there’s plenty of that in his life. It makes sense that they could meet in the middle, in the grey.

Idk it’s just interesting to think about when reading Dramione. Like those little details imply that Hermione has capabilities to be darker and Malfoy has capabilities to be lighter. And like…….Miss R*wling wrote that herself it’s not fanon. Every time I see people hating on Dramione I can’t help but be like, it’s genuinely not that crazy. Most fanfics don’t even have to stretch too far from canon to make the romance work. Idk, I just feel very strongly about this pairing and I hate when people are rude about disliking it.
