Summary
Harry groans and sinks his head onto his folded arms. ‘’I cannot believe Hermione is making me do this.’’ When there is no response from Ron, Harry looks up. Ron is sipping his beer and studiously avoiding Harry’s gaze.Suddenly suspicious, Harry narrows his eyes and says, ‘’I can’t believe Hermione, entirely on her own and with no support from anyone else, is making me do this, Ron.’’Ron puts his drink down and says, ‘’Yeah. Yep. Hermione. Old solo operative Hermione.’’ He finally meets Harry’s now-sardonic gaze, winces, and tentatively offers, ‘’Maybe…maybe it will do you some good.’’‘’Acting class,’’ Harry says flatly.‘’Worst case scenario,'' Ron says, ''acting class will help you lie to Hermione and me better.’’‘’Worst case scenario,’’ Harry mutters, ‘’I spend six weeks doing humiliating acting exercises with Malfoy.’’
Note
JKR's transphobia is bullshit and bad, and she should feel bad. Obviously I love Harry Potter and its world and its characters, but I want to be very clear that at this point, I think of this fandom as ours, not hers, and any TERFs can fuck right off.
