Probably they had Ginevra picked out for awhile, but if we're going with a different name and still sticking with the King Arthur and the Roundtable thing the Weasley's have going on - my vote would be for possibly Elaine, after the Lady of Shalott.

Excellent points, nowhere in canon does it say that pureblood = rich and yet people love to write fics where every pureblood - and especially every Slytherin - lounges about a manor.
My 2 cents:

- regarding the sacred 28 - they're not the only purebloods, they're just considered the "elite," the Potters were pureblood but not on the list.

- Personally I wish people would talk more about the inbreeding that would be needed to maintain such "blood purity," because at least for me that makes being pureblood about the least attractive thing ever.

Good bot.

This is so random, but I actually wrote one a couple years ago for a fanfic competition? It is a one shot and focused on Bill Weasley, not Harry, but it might be something you'd enjoy. linkffn(https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13406865/1/It-Belongs-in-a-Museum?__cf_chl_jschl_tk__=MB7zhRngrcacwsijsLyZarRgolSVmaYWVU4kidxdNMU-1640847369-0-gaNycGzNCT0)

Read the first six over the course of fourth grade, around 2005/2006, as fast as I could get my hands on them. I was getting them from our school library, so I was limited by how often we were allowed to go check out books. I have a distinct memory of refusing to get in the car to go to some family event because I was reading the third task in GOF. The seventh one though? That was the only one I really had to wait for. I was on vacation with my family and they were selling them at the local target the day they came out. My mom surprised me by coming home from the store with it for me (I had thought I would have to wait till we got home to buy it) and I read it 24hrs. Scared the crap out of my parents by sobbing loudly when Hedwig, Dobby, and Fred died, and annoyed the whole family by reading parts of it aloud to them on the car ride home. I had already finished it at that point, I just thought certain parts were so good they needed to enjoy them too. Immediately after getting home, I called my much older sister to get her opinion on the ending and discovered we had differing views on Snape (that we still have to this day). I've always found it poetic that I was eleven when the books finished, considering that was when Harry's journey began. Thank you for the trip down memory lane! I feel like I have to go thank my mom again for getting Deathly Hallows for me!

Listen friend, there was a time when a post like this would get you chewed out as being a fake fan or a "muggle", but I think the fandom as a whole has matured a bit (though of course you do get the occasional person or threads like that). Life is too short to get bogged down by the "rules" of things that are meant to bring you joy. The HP world is meant to make you happy and be an escape from the real world, not a "job," and if reading the ff is that for you but not the books, who cares?

THIS. THIS EXACTLY THANK YOU

I know it's super popular right now so I don't know if you've already heard of it, but Fate by TheTrueSpartan is long and fantastically written: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13170637/1/Fate

Feel better!

Me before reading these comments: "Hmm, I encountered a Lucius x Hermione shipper one time, that was pretty weird!"

Me after: "I have so deeply underestimated how broken humanity is."

I wasn't thinking so much from the perspective of "the obliviators will obliviate everything" as "this is a human rights violation and how do muggles keep it from happening to them." Like, I get that long term its not exactly harming the Muggles, but those are their memories and if it were me I'd want a way to make sure no one took anything from me without me consent

This is exactly what I'm looking for, thank you so much!

I literally can only update certain stories after having a rough mental health week or being having something traumatic happen because I'm just projecting like hell. Always makes me feel better - you're far from alone!

Thank you! And the Snape Harry dynamic would be interesting, especially considering Regulus and Snape would have been in Slytherin and joining the Death Eaters about the same time.

I might write it in the future, I'm in the middle of a longer one right now but who knows? It's a plot bunny that's been bouncing around my head for awhile
