Angry letter to writers

Chapter 3: Hermione Weasley
Dear Fanficiton writers
Wow, things some people come up with. I'm amazed. (sigh) Let's get this over with.
First of all, what surprisingly many of you didn't know. My name is Hermione JEAN Weasley (Nee Granger). It's not Hermione JANE Weasley. Jane is middle name of that horrid Umbridge women.
I admit, I was a girl who trusted the authority figure and always took things too logically. But I didn't completely trust authority figure. I never trusted Fudge or Umbridge. Also, I may take things logically, but I am capable of solving problems through my heart.
I admit I was bit pretentious with S.P.E.W (Yes Ronald, it's S.P.E.W not Spew!) Back then, I really thought I was doing what was right! I shouldn't have tried to force elves to be free. I now know that's actually extremely cruel to them. That's why I work at the Department of Magical Creatures so I can promote welfare laws, instead of hiding clothings in the tower.
I would never get jealous if someone gets a better mark than me. Especially if it is Harry. If a person got a better mark than me, then they must have studied harder than me. If Harry started to take his studies more seriously at Hogwarts, I would be happy and proud for him. I would never accuse him of practicing into dark arts to gain knowledge.
As for the pairing, I don't get why so many people dislike me being with Ron. I understand he was thick, tempered git who broke my heart at 4th year and viewed me as a easy way ticket out of homework for a while. But he became a man who is brave, loyal and genuinely cared for me. When Bellatrix was torturing me, only thing that kept me sane was hearing Ron's voice.
Ok, let's look at this deeply. First why is this popular? Me with Draco Malfoy. No. Sorry, I understand he changed and all but still it's very hard to forget what he said and did to me all these years at Hogwarts. Also, really? 8th year? There is only 7 years in Hogwarts.
Viktor? Viktor was nice and all and I admit I kissed him under the mistletoe at Yule Ball (Don't tell Ron!) but we are friends. We are just good friends. Even if I did date him, I don't think that far distance will work out.
Ginny, my sister in law, was like my sister. Being an only girl, I thought being friends with Ginny was like having a little sister that I could talk to. I am also straight.
Finally, Harry? Harry's my brother in all but blood. That's it. Nothing more and nothing less.
Another thing I don't understand is many writers believe I would hold grudge against Ginny for the chamber incident. Why? It's not Ginny's fault she was being controlled by soul of Voldemort. How could an 11 year old fight against it?
And please. One of the fics that made me speechless for about 5 minute was me being half cat. Madam Pomfrey is a very skilled healer. That incident with Polyjuice potion did not turn me into half cat or give me any hair problem. Only cat you should associate with me is my cat Crookshanks. I do not have cat ears, I do not purr, I do not have tails.
As for the most ridiculous thing I ever had the displeasure of reading, it was a fic where I was paid by Dumbledore to be Harry's friend. First of all, did you know I never had much friend growing up? I was always the bookworm, nerd, bushy haired buck tooth. I would make genuine friends, because I never had them in my younger years. I would never become someone's "friend" because some person paid me so I can get more books. Knowledge acquired through such means is not a knowledge but a treachery.
That being said, while I loved being prefect, I would never be friends with someone because the Headmaster guaranteed me a spot ad prefect/head girl. I would rather work hard and prove I deserve those titles. If I got them this way, what difference would it be from corrupt system that I despise so much?
Oh, and Ron agreed with this, if Harry ever gets put on trial, we will do anything, and we mean ANYTHING to have him testify under influence of veritaserum. We will never blatantly accuse him of going dark, no matter how much the evidence seems "valid."
Sincerely, Hermione Weasley, nee Granger
P.S I am not Ron's beauty (though Ron thinks I am (giggle)) and Ron is not my beast.
P.P.S Unlike Ron, I don't mind Scorpius fancies Rose. Don't tell Ron! He'll lose it.
