In keeping with my Hermione is terrifying obsession I recommend Green Candle by Caliah
Alone with her thoughts Hermione is scary. She's always shown a ruthless streak in the books but Book 5 emphasized on it when she began waging her war against Umbridge *shudder*
Her Hermione is pitch perfect, and in keeping with her actions in Book 5, in the whole series actually. What is amazing is Caliah wrote this years before Book 5, she's channeled Hermione so well it's scary.
I am the worst hypocrite of all. Innocent of all save malice . . . It was so totally easy to use that spell on Neville, poor harmless innocent pathetic little Neville, and leave him lying there helpless on the ground. Of course, it was necessary, but Harry and Ron wouldn't have done it.
They couldn't have done it.
It's just there isn't it? the cold, calculating, ruthless intent
Hermione's shown it leading Umbridge to the Forbidden forest, never slowing down, knowing the consequences. Harry reacts in anger, powerful possibly but Hermione acts according to plan. I have no doubt Hermione could use Crucio to wonderful effect if it was necessary.
Green Candle reads right, the pacing is wonderful, the poem laces around Hermione's thought to beautiful effect.
Nobody has any authority over me unless I give it to them. My parents can't understand any of my life now that I'm a witch. Ron and Harry don't want to understand what we could do. As much as Voldemort. As little as the tiniest ant that is stepped on by the wayside. Draco Malfoy has some idea, some vague comprehension, but at the moment he's too busy being absorbed by petty rivalries.
And nobody, nobody matters as much to me as those two boys. I'll keep them safe, from Voldemort, from the rest of the world. Even if I have to pretend to join him. Even if I do join him. (Can't they see the storm coming?) However many lies. However many deaths.
I remember Harry repeating Quirrell's words, about how Voldemort had told him that there was no good or evil, only power and those too weak to seek it.
That's wrong. There are good and evil. But, frankly, I don't care.
I want the power to define my own reality.
I want the world.
"She shall come in," answered the open door,
"And not," said the room, "go out any more."
*Shudder* So delicately worded, this is Hermione and her shadow self, which is the real Hermione? Or is Hermione the shadow?
