''[[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.

----
!!''Hermione's Talent'' contains examples of:

* AbortedArc: Most of the subplots about Hermione's love life are quickly dropped in favor of Hermione singing anachronistic songs until something else happens.
* AbsentAnimalCompanion: Draco buys Hermione a kitten named Merlin to replace Crookshanks, but he only appears in the scene where he's introduced.
* AdaptationalJerkass: Ron is a cheating bastard who later gets killed by a Death Eater.
* AdaptationalVillainy:
** Lavender Brown of all people becomes a Death Eater. Needless to say, Book!Lavender showed no such inclination.
** The Death Eaters themselves are subjected to this, since [[GratuitousRape apparently they're all serial rapists]]. Dolohov demonstrates this when he appears, then Draco reveals in an ALLCAPS rant in part two that they had massive rape parties at Malfoy Manor.
%%* AlphaBitch: This fic's version of Hermione is one. [[OutOfCharacter Yes]].
* 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.
%%* CollateralAngst: Draco's response to the DramaBomb.
* ContemplateOurNavels: Hermione is often lost in thought while she's singing.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: At first glance, it looks 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.]]
* CreatorsCultureCarryover: Even aside from the anachronisms, a lot of the musical choices are not well known in the UK. To say nothing of how the characters talk.
* CutenessProximity: Hermione, when faced with Merlin the kitten, does a very good impersonation of the Webcomic/{{XKCD}} strip illustrating that page.
%%* DiabolusExMachina: Dolohov appearing in the Forbidden Forest.
* 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]].
* DramaBomb: The plot consists entirely of standard-issue teen angst. Then Antonin Dolohov appears in the Forbidden Forest, [[DroppedABridgeOnHim kills Ron]] and [[GratuitousRape rapes Hermione]].
%%* DroppedABridgeOnHim: Ron.
* 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, and is apparently [[DarkerAndEdgier the favourite hobby of Death Eaters in this universe]]. Because they weren't evil enough already, clearly.
%%* HappilyEverAfter
* IKEAErotica: When Draco and Hermione get back together at the end of part 2, they have [[ShowDontTell what Draco tells us]] is the best sex ever. The description doesn't convey this.
* IfICantHaveYou: "If I can't have you, neither can that ferret," Ron to Hermione.
%%* KarmaHoudini: Dolohov, via WhatHappenedToTheMouse.
* LampshadeHanging: Neville notes that people in-universe are surprised by him rapping.
-->"''Wow when I first got up on the stage and started rapping, everyone was like what the hell he can rap. Who would've known. It was so funny to see their faces.''"
%%* LifetimeMovieOfTheWeek: In Potterfic form.
%%* MurderersAreRapists: This appears to be the characterisation of the Death Eaters in this fic.
* NoIndoorVoice: Hermione, Ron and Lavender have entire conversations in ALLCAPS.
* ObligatorySwearing: Hermione, who doesn't say anything stronger than "arse" in canon, is now saying "fuck" every other sentence.
%%* OutOfCharacter: Everyone.
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: Neville Longbottom performs Music/{{BoB|Rapper}}'s rap from the song "Airplanes". The audience initially reacts by staring at him "like he had just sprout''(sic)'' three heads", but they quickly warm up to his performance.
%%** The sort-of sequel goes one better and makes ''Draco Malfoy'', of all people, into one.
* PresentDayPast: ''Harry Potter'' is set in the 90s. All the songs Hermione sings were released in the late 2000s, a full decade after she would have graduated from Hogwarts.
%%* ProductPlacement: The author's username.
* RapeIsASpecialKindOfEvil: Now the Death Eaters were definitely '''not''' the most pleasant folks in canon, what with the [[ANaziByAnyOtherName Nazi allegory]] and the like. Still, they weren't, y'know, ''rapists''!
%%* RedemptionEqualsDeath: Ron's death is presented as this in-universe.
* RougeAnglesOfSatin: Constantly. Most notably, the official title is actually "[[TyopOnTheCover Hemione's Talent]]".
%%* ShowDontTell: Very much averted.
* SlutShaming: Hermione tells Lavender that she's worse than Ron, even though ''he's'' the one who cheated on her, because she's a "slut".
%%* SongFic: Several times over.
* SoundtrackDissonance: None of the songs are a particularly good fit for anything to do with ''Harry Potter''.
* UnusuallyUninterestingSight: Harry and Ginny don't think it's unusual that Hermione is dating Draco.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse:
** Lavender becomes a Death Eater but then disappears from the story.
** The Death Eater Dolohov vanishes after Draco punches him.
** Merlin the kitten only appears in the scene where he's initially given to Hermione.
