''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6147425/1/Hemiones_Talent Hermione's Talent]]'' by [[Fanfic/MyImmortal hotttopicgirl]] is a HarryPotter fanfic in which, according to the summary, Hermione demonstrates her titular talent of [[SongFic singing]] (!) to prove that [[FantasticRacism Muggles can be just as good as wizards]]. Then the angst lands and HilarityEnsues.
!!''Hermione's Talent'' contains examples of:
* AnachronismStew: None of the songs that Hermione sings had been released when she was at Hogwarts. Also, the war is over but Dumbledore is somehow alive.
* BackFromTheDead: Dumbledore, apparently. We never learn how or why.
* BeigeProse: The entire fic consists of dialogue, internal monologue and [[SongFic copy-pasted song lyrics]], with no actual descriptions of anything or anyone.
* {{Chickification}}: Hermione, of course.
* ClusterFBomb: Almost all the dialogue.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: It looks at first glance like a [[{{WAFF}} cute fluffy fic]] in which Hermione sings [[AuthorAppeal the author's favourite songs]] to her classmates and teachers. [[DarkerAndEdgier It isn't.]]
* DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment: Hermione repeatedly refers to the day on which she caught Ron cheating with Lavender as their "one-year anniversary"; for all there are probably people who'd refer to a first anniversary that way, [[TheSmartGirl Hermione]] is ''not'' one of them.
* DeusExMachina: Draco appears out of nowhere to save Hermione from Dolohov.
* DidNotDoTheBloodyResearch: The author doesn't seem to realise that "git" is a very mild insult in British English and [[SophisticatedAsHell contrasts sharply]] with [[ClusterFBomb the general tone of the rest of the dialogue]].
* DiscreditedTrope: Part of what makes Hermione's Talent so entertaining is that it's a HarryPotter fic with Hot Topic references written in 2010 in apparently complete ignorance of ''Fanfic/MyImmortal''.
* DistressedDamsel: Hermione.
* DramaBomb: The plot consists entirely of standard-issue teen angst. Then [[EnsembleDarkhorse Antonin Dolohov]] appears in the Forbidden Forest, kills Ron and [[GratuitousRape rapes Hermione]].
* FantasticRacism: The original premise was of Hermione demonstrating that {{Muggles}} were just as good as wizards, but this got overshadowed very quickly.
* FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue: See BeigeProse.
* GratuitousRape: Happens to Hermione.
* LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek: In Potterfic form.
* NoIndoorVoice: Hermione, Ron and Lavender hold entire conversations in ALLCAPS.
* ObligatorySwearing: Hermione, who doesn't say anything stronger than "arse" in canon and that was her equivalent of a PrecisionFStrike, is now saying "fuck" every other word.
* OutOfCharacter: Everyone.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Neville. Yes, ''Neville''.
* PresentDayPast
* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Ron.
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Constantly. Most notably, the official title is actually "Hemione's Talent".
* SlutShaming: Hermione tells Lavender that she's worse than Ron, even though ''he's'' the one who actually betrayed her, because she's a "slut". Lovely.
* SongFic: Several times over.
* XMeetsY: ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' as a LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek. Alternatively, ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' meets ''JerrySpringer'' meets ''Series/{{Glee}}''.
