Harry Potter and the Tail of Orcinus

by prof.antisocial

For his entire life, Harry Potter had always felt alone. Trust was something that was easily earned from him, and it was a gift he did not give to many. But when he realizes that he has been ignorant to the most loyal and trustworthy person he's ever known, what will he do to prove her worth? When the Triwizard Tournament selects Harry to compete, how will the pair evolve? *H/Hr*

1. A Note

A Note About This Fanfic…

Harry Potter is perhaps the only series that has fanfiction that I personally enjoy, more specifically those with Harry/Hermione pairing. No matter how many times I read the original series or watch the movies, my mind simply cannot stand the utter disappointment in the fact that Harry and Hermione never end up together. Ron and Hermione as a couple- once again, in my opinion - makes no tidbit of logical sense. Neither does Harry and Ginny. Hence why I'm writing this pairing.

I've read countless amounts of Harry/Hermione romance fics and yet they all disappoint me in some form or another. I have a few favorites, but other than those, none of them are really good. Either they're illogical and childish and are written by an actual small child (by observing the grammar and spelling), or the story just doesn't suit my appetite. So, I've decided to take whatever ability of writing I think I have and apply it to making a Harry/Hermione love fic that I'd enjoy.

Now, with that being said, let me mention a few things about how this story will most likely go:

Relationships: In regards to relationships, Harry and Hermione will obviously be the ending pair. That will not change. Ron will most likely end up being with Luna.

Bashing: There is definite room for some minor Ron bashing, but ultimately the Golden Trio will prevail. Ron definitely has some jealousy issues from the original, and I have no means to diverge from that. This won't destroy any friendships however, so no need to worry. Harry has enough enemies as it is.

Timeline: Will start with the beginning of tGoF and will probably end sometime around tOtP

Canon/AU?: Will follow the same plot as the original, but you can definitely expect some changes when it comes to how it is executed. But no, Voldemort won't just suddenly wind up dead in the middle of the story randomly lol.

Rating: M for now, just to be safe. I'm not the type to write smut, so don't fret! This is more of a precaution for language and plausible violence to come.

Anyways, that's just about it. Thank you for checking this out, and I hope you enjoy it!
