Title: Any Advantage
Author: Apythia
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Pairing: Gen. Hermione
Prompt: Fire
Warnings: none
Disclaimer: I am not JKR, nor do I make any money from this.

Hermione watched her signature bluebell flame dance in its glass cage. She’d never thought about why it was so easy for her to summon fire, why it never bit her, sank claws into her friends, or ate her possessions. It was a well-trained pet, and she its master. She assumed that was how it was for everyone.

But after her talk with Professor Snape this afternoon, she began to wonder. Was she really a pyromancer?

He said it was a very rare talent. One she should keep secret given the upcoming war.

Looking at the flame, she thought, any advantage.

	OMG! I will give you cash money if you ever do a crossover with Hermione and Dustfinger...which is the first thing that came to mind after reading this... Great story! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Don't kill me, but I actually had to stop for a moment and think who Dustfinger was. ducks (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's okay...I had to do the same thing when someone was talking about Jasper the other day...I can't expect you to share all my obsessions! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	As long as neither of us ever have to stop and think about Snape or Lupin, all will be good. (Reply to this) (Parent)

	When I reread the series before book 7 came out, I noticed how often early on in the series, they make reference to Hermione and her ability make fire. I was certain it would come up again in the last book, but never did. I felt the need to create my own closure. :p (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I was certain JKR was going to do something like that in the end given all the references to Hermione and her fire in the first few books. (Reply to this) (Parent)
