Wow. Read Cassie's DV14 cookies and have been reading the comments ... I had no idea so many people loathed DV Hermione the way I do! It's such a wonderful feeling! I thought I was the only one who couldn't stand the bitch. Actually, DT Hermione in general makes me want to kick her until all the bones in my foot break. She's just so ridiculously perfect (and I mean in the sense that none of the characters except Ginny think she can do any wrong). Oh yes, Hermione could never be wrong.
Hermione is beautiful and smart and serene and has all three heroes in love with her. Puuuuuuke. The worst thing about it is that she's a complete hypocrite (my biggest pet peeve), and so far from deserving the pedestal both Harry and Draco put her on that it reflects poorly on them. Everything about her makes me roll my eyes. I had ceased hoping that Hermione would ever get her come uppance (and perhaps she still won't, not really), thinking that this was just Cassie's preferred characterization of her. It's surprising and gratifying to think that I was perhaps not giving Cassie enough credit.
However, I'm going to table that until I see the actual scene. Just because Rhysenn has exposed what I consider a truth about Hermione (her unbelievable, unending selfishness), doesn't mean that that's actually the conclusion that will come out of it. It's very possible that Hermione's status as She Who Can Do No Wrong will only be affirmed, with Rhysenn shown as being "wrong." Bleah.
