Personally, I was going to wait until posting’s back. But, my Jefferey is also cross-posted on AO3, so that’s where the most recent chapter/episode lives.

...to fail this exam? I went to my doctor about this rash, and she said...

Technically, it rolled backwards… it’s count to infinity, not an infinite loop 🤖 Updated mine

TBH, it felt like JKR was “burned out” to some degree when she wrote HBP. I mean, at the start of OotP, Harry’s not handling the death of Cedric very well. But at the start of HBP, it was more “meh...bad shit happens, so what?” Guess that’s the beauty of what started speculative is now AU… I’ve got my own narrative where I can totally ignore HBP and go with a much more twisted narrative. Ask my Ron what happened after he turned his hair black for a night… guess

Trouble with Harry pursuing Hermione (or Ron) is that it’d diminish the odd one out. Prior to HBP, there was Ginny infatuated with Harry, but mostly “Ron’s sister” back to her. Early in HBP, Ginny gave Harry cookies made “just for him”… rest of the book had poisonings due to bad batches of love potions to others, so yeah, IMO, Ginny drugged Harry up, and I’m guessing with Molly Weasley’s help. I even poke fun at Ginny’s infatuation in the explicit version of my fanfic Speculating where the author will take the narrative in the next book is fun. When I was working on my fifth year story, JKR was dropping hints to book five, and yeah, I made a guess, and TBH, I think mine’s better in some ways, more impactful.

And some fanfiction can be better written than canon. Prior to HBP, the worst of the Harry/Ginny hookups read way, way, better than the “sudden urge” of the books… unless you think she used a love potion on Harry. Also, prior to book 5, there was a lot of speculative/predictive fanfics that were taking a guess to where canon was headed, many got abandoned when they became “AU” with the book’s release. (Ditto for books 6, likely 7 too)

That these types of questions can be asked and answered in serious fashion makes AFF forums a good place
