Hermione/Ginny is a femslash pairing in the Harry Potter fandom involving Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley.
Prevalence
Hermione/Ginny is one of the most popular femslash pairing in the Harry Potter fandom, although femslash in general in much less common than het or slash. It is the most popular pairing on hp_girlslash, a LiveJournal community founded in March 2003.[2] On Archive of Our Own, founded in 2008, it is the third-most popular HP femslash ship, behind Ginny/Luna and Hermione/Pansy.[3]
Madam Hooch's Broom Closet wrote (pre-OOTP):
[Hermione/Ginny is] the most popular femmeslash ship. After all, they seem to be good friends, and we don't know what the girls get up to when Harry's not around. The majority of femmeslash stories are still Hr/G, but that's gradually changing as other ships gain popularity. Many people, on entering the femmeslash fandom, assume that Hr/G is the only femmeslash ship out there, and are greatly surprised to learn otherwise. Hr/G is sort of the Harry/Draco of the femmeslash fandom in that people often either passionately love it or passionately hate it.[4]
Common Tropes in Fanworks
- Fake dating is a popular trope.
- Stories often take place during Hogwarts era, but there are also a fair amount of post-canon and AU fics.
- Ron/Harry and Hermione/Ginny are commonly paired together, as a remix of the canon pairings.
- Fics are usually fluff, but occasionally contain hurt/comfort and/or angst.
