    Canon Hermione wasn't afraid though.

    The Hermione got scared suddenly!

    Typo: ...attention to "them" at all. Otherwise, he seems to think he should be the center of the world.

    It's just...this guy really didn't pay attention to him at all.

    Why does she talk about John like if he's a stranger and not the person she was with on the train for several hours ?

    This sentence seems to contradict itself.

    He never thought that as the eldest son of the Malfoy family, he would one day be called a fool by Draco, a dirty Mudblood.

    Your translation is not bad at all although there is still a lot of Chinese logic in the text that you should rework. As for the fact that Constantine is so attached to Hermione when he was so individualistic before... It's a bit of a shame for the development of the character who is suddenly contaminated by the personal desires of the author. That's the problem with amateur writers, they are incapable of controlling themselves..

    No way. This comment does not go in that direction. I'm just saying that a story that isn't a "romance" hasn't revolved around romance. These are often invasive elements in fanfics that end up devouring more and more scenes to the point that we only see that. The reason being that when fanfic authors start with their MC's romance, they are unable to stop and practically neglect the rest of the story. I've seen this happen too many times to not get annoyed by it after a while. If we can push the romance back as far as possible or make it only a minor element in the story, the fanfic will remain qualitative.

    Hermione saw the madness in Lily. We really shouldn't trust the author when he portrays her as rational. Project Athena seems to have destroyed her moral compass. She became a full-blown sociopath. And she is obsessed with Harry but not for the good reasons I fear.

    You can't make a single comment without an insult, eh ! And I see that you are already starting to distort my arguments since you claim that I deny the presence of romance in the story. If you took the trouble to “properly” reread my comments, you would realize that I just said that a tag does not determine the overall content of a story, it only represents part of the themes covered. That's why I said at the beginning that the story didn't necessarily have to focus on a hypothetical love story and that that was clearly not the direction the story was taking at the moment. But obviously, that wouldn't serve your vision in which you're right and I'm wrong. Maybe it's time to admit your faults, no ? The simple fact that you can't move on from your insults proves that you don't really have a point. After all, one only resort to violence when they have nothing else to say.

    It seems to me that you are the one who does not admit your wrongs. You were the first to start this argument between us. So yes, you started it. And you instantly looked for conflict from the first exchange while I try to remain neutral in my answers. You use emojis to try to minimize your aggression in each response, but that only makes it more obvious. I can see how you don't like being answered bluntly and being proven wrong. I've already told you my point of view regarding the romance part but it's like you're ignoring it. Probably because you don't want to acknowledge any of my points. I'm still waiting to see you present a solid argument on the basic debate but you seem more interested in creating conflict with me. Now that I think about it, isn't that how trolls operate ? They create meaningless conflicts, often by denigrating the opinions of others and making the conversation loop but never presenting solid points. The goal is simply to fuel the argument. And they usually use a lot of emojis.

    In fact, between us, "yes", it was you who started all this. And where exactly was I proven wrong ? I remember giving a solid response to your reaction. You, on the other hand, didn't really debate behind it. Maybe this all happened in your head since it's not in our discussions.

    Are you kidding me ? You were the one who started yapping at me first. Just admit that you didn’t like my answer. The nerve !

    Even if it would be original if he was NOT registered for the tournament, we all know that the author will probably find a reason for him to participate. And in the event that Harry doesn't find a reason to enter himself (Arcturus might ask him to in order to improve his reputation on the international stage), there would be many potential culprits behind his forced entry. Dumbledore would do this because of their shared past in which he learned not to underestimate Harry and would see this as an opportunity to eliminate him. Voldemort should still focus on Neville, but he might consider entering Harry for his ritual. Grindelwald would be the least likely as he has had little contact with Harry and still shouldn't consider him a major threat. And then... there's Lily. Would she have any interest in doing this to her own son ? She seems cold enough to do that.

    A "romance" label simply means that there will be some elements of romance in the story, but it doesn't mean that the entire story will revolve around it. That's not the focus of the story and no one, reading this story, would immediately say that it's a romance.

    Who cares ? It's not a romance anyway. And there's no rule that says an MC has to end up with someone.

    This story will always frustrate me. So much potential destroyed by a blatant and yet recurring writing problem. I will never understand how the author can't see the obvious problem with writing a secondary character's point of view in the first person singular. This is a beginner's mistake. This faulty writing process erases the identity of the secondary character while out of nowhere giving him an artificial MC status, which ruins the balance of the story. Any character other than the MC must always be written in the third person singular to maintain a form of distance which preserves the hierarchy of characters. It's common sense. The author still has a long way to go as a writer... but also as a reader.

    Each time you use first person singular for a secondary character, I just have the impression to follow one same bland character.

    He was just making an educated guess. For all we know, they might be the right age.

    From this conversation, I learned that my parents were in the midst of the Third Shinobi War. Well, I could have guessed that from their youthful appearances, for context, both my parents looked like they were in their early 20s, but having confirmation was reassuring. It was a time of uncertainty and danger, and my parents' concern for my safety became even more evident.
