“Rowling wrote Hermione to eschew stereotypes. She doesn’t end up with the hero, she is never there to function as Harry’s love interest. She prefers Arithmancy to Divination in school. So often, female characters are allowed to be aggressive or rebellious, but in exchange are stripped of any traditionally feminine qualities and instead are forced to pick up traditionally masculine traits. However, Hermione is never made to do that. Most notably, she is written to be highly logical AND emotionally expressive, a combination not commonly afforded to most of today’s leading ladies.”

This is what I took from Hermione, when I was reading HP. I loved that she was outspoken and decisive and had a temper. But she was also very emotional and gentle and un-sporty; and these supposedly more ‘feminine’ traits were never written as her failings, but also as her successes.

it moved as soon as you stopped looking. It’s sneaky like that. Because it’s an Angel-Snail.
Oh my gosh no why would you say that I’m scared to blink now. D:
actually… go ahead and blink. It’s a snail, it probably won’t get to you unless you close your eyes and drift off to sleep :D
I just found this smiley I once made.
i like the word partners because no one can tell if you’re dating or if you’re in a buddy cop movie

what a treacherous being you are! *shakes fist* Oh well, I forgive you, like Manny would forgive Bernard (which makes us both awesome people xD)
Thankfully I can always count on my person (who, in that scenario would be Fran then >_>):
