Hi, I'm unperfectwolf and I'm your HP rec'er this month.

Fandom: HARRY POTTER
Pairing: Gen: Hermione Granger, Blaise Zabini
Author on LJ: ran_huo
Author Website: mausolea_fics
Why this must be read: It's a really good fic, guys, about hate and life and living and finding yourself and peer pressure and blind followers. This is by far one of my favorite fics.

I wish what Hermione does, that magic, those words, worked every time. I wish that it worked every time someone who's generally so level headed spewed some racist trash about how much better they were than someone else or about how someone else, a minority or not, should shut up and be happy with what they had, because can't they see we give them so much more than they deserve, even if it's not equality or anything near it?

But even if it doesn't work when I try it or when other people try if it works only once there's some progress somewhere, and someone out there has realized that hate for the sake of hate isn't truth, and that in the end there is so much more than some stupid class barrier, some stupid race barrier. Something so insubstantial it's not even funny. Somewhere out there someone has realized that interracial marriage is okay and that interreligious marriage is okay and that gay marriage is okay.

Someone has realized were all humans, in the end.
