History FanFic / HermionesTalent

''[[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/6147425/1/Hemiones_Talent Hermione's Talent]]'' by hotttopicgirl is a Literature/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.

* AbortedArc: Almost every subplot in the fic is one of these, as the author regularly seems to lose interest and fall back on having Hermione sing anachronistic songs until something else happens.
* AlphaBitch: This fic's version of Hermione is one. [[OutOfCharacter Yes.]]

* BackFromTheDead: Dumbledore, apparently. We never learn how or why.

* {{Chickification}}: Hermione, of course.
* ClusterFBomb: Almost all the dialogue.
* CollateralAngst: Draco's response to the DramaBomb.
* ContemplateOurNavels: Hermione does a lot of this when she's singing.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: It looks at first glance like a [[SugarWiki/{{WAFF}} cute fluffy fic]] in which Hermione sings [[AuthorAppeal the author's favourite songs]] to her classmates and teachers. [[DarkerAndEdgier It isn't.]]
* CutenessProximity: Hermione, when faced with Merlin the kitten[[note]]who Draco bought as a ReplacementGoldfish for Crookshanks but later [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse vanished without a trace]][[/note]], does a very good impersonation of the Webcomic/{{XKCD}} strip illustrating that page.
* DiabolusExMachina: Dolohov appearing in the Forbidden Forest.

* DramaBomb: The plot consists entirely of standard-issue teen angst. Then [[EnsembleDarkhorse Antonin Dolohov]] appears in the Forbidden Forest, [[DroppedABridgeOnHim kills Ron]] and [[GratuitousRape rapes Hermione]].
* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Ron.

* FeaturelessPlaneOfDisembodiedDialogue: See BeigeProse.
* GratuitousRape: Happens to Hermione, and is apparently [[DarkerAndEdgier the favourite hobby of Death Eaters in this universe]]. Because they weren't evil enough already, clearly.
* HappilyEverAfter

* MurderersAreRapists: This appears to be the characterisation of the Death Eaters in this fic.

* OutOfCharacter: Everyone.

** The sort-of sequel goes one better and makes ''Draco Malfoy'', of all people, into one.

* ShowDontTell: Very much averted.

* DistressedDamsel: Hermione.

* SpiritualSuccessor: "Karaoke Night" by the same author isn't a sequel, but is a Hermione/Draco fic with a very similar premise but no horribly misjudged GratuitousRape (yet). The [[SongFic karaoke]] is still [[PresentDayPast anachronistic]] and accounts for [[{{Padding}} most of the wordcount]], the plot still consists entirely of a Hermione/Draco/Ron/Lavender/[[RougeAnglesOfSatin "Astroia"]] [[LoveDodecahedron love pentagon]] at an unspecified Hogwarts party and everyone still indulges in [[ClusterFBomb more ALLCAPS swearing]] than [[Webcomic/{{Homestuck}} Karkat Vantas]].
** As Blog/DasSporking put it: "[The author] decided that one fic about a Ron/Hermione/Draco/Lavender/Astoria [[LoveDodecahedron love pentagon]] and the associated {{wangst}} against an [[PresentDayPast anachronistic]] [[SongFic karaoke party]] backdrop with [[NoIndoorVoice shouty]] [[ClusterFBomb sweary]] dialogue wasn't enough. She'd found her niche. [[TakeThat Let's face it, there's hardly going to be writers queuing round the block to compete with her.]]"

* TyopOnTheCover: The first part is titled "Hemione's Talent".

* CutenessProximity: Hermione, when faced with Merlin the kitten[[note]]who Draco bought as a ReplacementGoldfish for [[StuffedIntoTheFridge Crookshanks]] but later [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse vanished without a trace]][[/note]], does a very good impersonation of the Webcomic/{{XKCD}} strip illustrating that page.

* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Ron's death is presented as this in-universe, but it's closer to StuffedIntoTheFridge.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: Crookshanks never appears in the story and we later learn that he died for no apparent reason. Ron's fate could also count.

Then the angst lands and HilarityEnsues.

* YourCheatingHeart: Ron cheating on Hermione with Lavender is what starts the plot off. Draco also cheats on Hermione with [[RougeAnglesOfSatin "Astroia"]] but they were "[[Series/{{Friends}} on a break]]" (in those exact words) so [[ProtagonistCentredMorality it's okay]].

* 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.]]

* SuspiciouslyAproposMusic: Hermione tries to [[InvokedTrope invoke]] this in her choices of songs, especially early in the story.

* PresentDayPast

* HowDoIUsedTense: The author seems averse to the past perfect tense, resulting in some rather awkward constructions.

* XMeetsY: ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' as a LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek. Alternatively, ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' meets ''[[Series/TheJerrySpringerShow Jerry Springer]]'' meets ''Series/{{Glee}}''.
** With a dash of ''Hogwarts Exposed'' for the [[GratuitousRape worst moments]].

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: A disproportionate number of the songs in Hermione's Talent (especially part 2) were new when it was written in 2010-11, placing its PresentDayPast firmly in early 2011.

* 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.

* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Constantly. Most notably, the official title is actually "Hemione's Talent".

* ObviousBeta: Those parts of the fic that aren't copy-pasted from azlyrics.com appear to be somewhere between an outline and a first draft.

* IfICan'tHaveYou: "If I can't have you, neither can that ferret," Ron to Hermione

** As Blog/DasSporking put it: "[The author] decided that one fic about a Ron/Hermione/Draco/Lavender/Astoria love pentagon and the associated wangst against an anachronistic karaoke party backdrop with shouty sweary dialogue wasn't enough.

* XMeetsY: ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' as a LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek. Alternatively, ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' meets ''JerrySpringer'' meets ''Series/{{Glee}}''.

* DiscreditedTrope: Part of what makes Hermione's Talent so entertaining is that it's pretty much ''everything'' that ''Fanfic/MyImmortal'' was (maybe) written to spoof in 2006, such as the anachronistic music, unwizardly ''and'' anachronistic fashion and [[ClusterFBomb copious swearing]], posted in 2010 in apparently complete ignorance of it. The only thing missing was vampires.
