Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven
(#) Dagon11 2011-09-29
Hot, sweet and well written. Again, hats off!
Could we see some more Harry/Ginny interactions? You have written Harry's longing quite well, but seeing no interactions for it. Maddening I tell you!
Im just wondering what other websites your posting on on, because I haven't seen this story anywhere else.
I think you should definately add it to HPfanficarchive.
Anyway, keep it up!Author's response
I'm glad you liked it.
Maddening...awesome.
Incidentally this isn't posted anywhere else. The other sites I read from are the stricter ones as far as content goes.
I wasn't aware that HPfanfcarchive existed so thankyouverymuch!
PS: I'm checking the site out now, it's sick! Really like how everything is categorized.Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven

Fantastic chapter. Really, really good. I think this is the finest chapter of the story so far.
This thing with Hermione was wonderful. I think Hermione would make a wonderful primary wife for Harry. If I was Harry the only thing I would change is to make an amendment to their rules at their next meeting (you could justify it as greater emotional insight due to his strengthened bond with Gabby). At his next meeting I would ask that one of the rules be that they are both open, just open, to the possibility of being more than just fuck buddies. That in their hearts and minds they are open to it; that that possibility is there and that they will be scrupulously honest with each other if they start to feel like they want more. (Maybe a magical oath on that topic??) Hermione pining for Ron makes me cringe.
On a happier note, Hermione’s list of things to do makes me really excited. I think that girl will come up with some great stuff. Great plot device. You can work in so many different genres of eroticism with that tool. I can’t wait! If I could offer some unsolicited advice, I think the first several times with Hermione should not involve Gabby. They really need to work on being alone together without the additional complexity that another person would give. It would radically limit the intimacy and love that could be achieved if there was someone else involved.
Harry’s comments to Hermione about betraying Ron made me want to torture/kill Harry for being a retarded idiot. If you have to constantly watch what you say to your supposed best friend to avoid a meltdown, then they are NOT your best friend! It was so amazingly stupid of Harry to even say this out loud when Ron and Lavendar are together. F@#k Ron. If Harry didn’t have these crippling abandonment issues from the Dursleys can you see them staying friends? I don’t. I wish for Ron’s most painful death…soon. Maybe Gabrielle and Hermione can talk some sense into the retard.
Great stuff in enhancing the bond with Gabby. Really great writing there. I can’t help but think that this greater connection will make Harry, obviously, a better lover, but even more importantly, a better man. Again, maybe she can help him work out the issues which are holding him back.
Again, great work. I’m looking forward to the next chapter.

I like it! It has a nice twist on the other H/GD I have read. I think Hr would make a great wife for HP but, would she be the only one? NOT a H/GW shipper at all so, if you do not write her in my feelings will not be hurt.Author's response
I'm glad you liked it!
I also happen to think Hermione would make an excellent wife to whomever is so lucky enough to marry her.Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven

That was great and I'm glad that you gave us a strong Hermione and I really hope that she becomes addicted to Harry and doesn't go to ron at all because someone said you can't take a girl to the farm after she has seen Paris. And hopefully Harry will get over this ginny thing especally since she supposedly looks like his mother and has the mannerisims and attitude of his surrogate mother and that will just lead up to Harry having a complex. Bot I am wondering how kinky Hermione will be.Author's response
All my favorite versions of her involve her being strong and sure of herself.
I bet withdrawal from Harry sucks.
Weirds me out but oedipal complexes are surprisingly common...and you know what they say about the quiet bookish types right?Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven

My only real quibble with this story is the "Friends with benefits" view both Harry & Hermione have. Frankly Ron is an ass and doesn't deserve Hermione while Harry needs all the love he can get given his life before Hogwarts and what happen after he arrived. He is a dual Lord so you could use that plot tool, but its up to you! Just keep them close and loving and I'll be happy!
On the rest Damn good story!

Don't worry, Harry and Hermione are going to become quite 'close'.
As for Ron/Hermione, yeah, he's a berk, good thing he grows up a bit yeah?Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven

Unrealistic and out of character for both Harry and Hermione. Your readers obviously love this travesty but I'm gone with a bit of bitterness that you couldn't even manage to warn readers where you were going with this fic.Author's response
I welcome all criticisms, suggestions, questions that don't involve spoilers, and comments.
However, the story is quite planned, and every pairing is already quite well thought out.
I apologize if you were misled, but the story is marked as 'alternate universe' and lists the pairing as Harry/Multi. I thought that made my intentions clear, but apparently it has not, so in light of that I have changed the pairing to Harry/Harem.
I am sorry if you are disgusted by my choice of pairing Harry and Hermione but I and many others honestly believe there is enough evidence in cannon to support a realistic alternate universe where Harry and Hermione end up together.
Though I am loathe to admit it I sometimes find the 'one big happy Weasley family a little trite, though I think it's a grand ending note on a story cultivated from myth and fairy tales.
However, this is not a realistic alternate universe. This is a Harem fic, it is outlandish and it treads into territory far outside the lines that many people consider "normal behavior" both Muggle and Magical ;). While I want to tell a good story it's also a smut fic, and on some levels an excuse to have a number of pairing in one fic.
That being said my own devotion to the books requires me to follow cannon lines, and not so far out of character, based on my make take of the characters as represented in the books.
We are aloud to disagree on this interpretation.
That being the case I wholeheartedly agree with your decision to stop reading. This fic will go places you don't want it to go.
I can also appreciate those who want all the eventual pairings listed before the fic even begins. My plan is to add the pairings as they happen in the story so that as an archived finished story people can search it better.
At the moment I want to preserve the mystery of the ending. Doing a lot of build up and knowing the resolution ahead of time seems counter productive.
So, in all of that, I'm sorry we disagree and that the story is not to your liking. I can only write the things that I like and hope there are enough people out there who agree with me.
All that aside...
It was a nod to the movie. I happen to like the movies. I do not consider them cannon, but I appreciate them enough to reference them, especially if it is an embellishment on Rowling's work as opposed to a plot deviance. That conversation Harry and Ron have about Ginny and Hermione's skin is "The Office" level uncomfortable hilarity.
I have read the books and listened to both versions of the audio books I have lost count. I have those books MEMORIZED.
Do not doubt my love of this world, for it is deep.
When I write I keep a page open with tabs to the lexicon time-line, and wiki's. I occasionally take a break from writing to browse forums to read other people's takes on characters for inspiration.
Nothing like a heated forum debate about Dumbledore's true motivations to spark the writing bug yeah?Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven

Very nice story, I do hope this story will keep being developed.Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven
(#) Cateagle 2011-09-30
Well, you've got a good rationale for how the story is developing. I suspect Harry & Hermione may start off as "friends with benefits" but find their emotions changing as they become more intimate (Ron's loss, but he wasn't apparently interested enough to actively pursue Hermione). What should be interesting is if/when Hermione's list include a threesome with her, Harry, and Gabrielle. If the list also includes a threesome with Harry and another wizard, I wonder who'll she'll pick? Methinks Ron has managed to remove himself from consideration.Harry Potter and the Emerald Coven

First- I enjoy the smut. You generated some real heat just from Harry and Hermione kissing.
Second- I don't get where Hushpuppy didn't know where this was heading- the freaking title says 'Harem'. The only thing missing is direct mention of Gabrielle's involvement (though your summary should probably say 1/2 story, 1/2 smut- saying it's 1/2 plot isn't meaningful).
Third- are you going to chart an end to the canon story from these changes, or is this just going to encompass Harry's bed adventures? There's nothing wrong with taking a trip down an idyllic path in the midst of a stormy life. I guess I'm just wondering how much (non-smut) action to expect from the fic.
Author's response
Thank you so much, I try!
Actually it was originally Harry/Multi but I changed it to harem because of the complaint. Hopefully there wont be any more sad people :{
Finally, this story is absolutely going to arc from mid-6th year to the end of 6th year, then a sequel 7th book AU, followed by a few one shot style epilogue chapters.
As the story progresses it's going to become more and more AU as far as plotting goes, at the moment however there's a good 3 weeks of no action according to the lexicon which all of this (so far) is taking place. The next big plot point coming up as far as book plot goes is Slughorn's Christmas party and Draco and Snape's overheard conversation. All that's going to happen, but obviously altered by the already AU events of the fic.
By the end there will be MUCH non-smut action, but many things need to be established before that can happen.
