And Then There's You [A Ron & Hermione AU]

PLEASE READ 1ST.

This is extremely AU (alternate universe) and contains some slightly more adult content. Please do not bash my story. I'm pretty proud of it. Constructive criticism is welcome, but any rude comments will be deleted.

Story (I will keep this as short as possible):

In the wizarding world, it is not uncommon for pureblood parents to arrange marriages for their children at a very young age. This is exactly what happened to Ron Weasley. After graduating from Hogwarts, Ron is set to marry Alison Herring, a fellow pureblood. However, once arriving at Hogwarts in his first year, he is immediately drawn to Hermione Granger, a muggleborn.

Alison is excited about being with Ron (who wouldn't be really?) and tries to make their "relationship" work while in school, but she notices something between Ron and Hermione. When Ron returns home for holiday, his parents remind him of his responsibility to his family (as do Fred and George) and to not let anything get in the way of that.

But he just can't get Hermione off of his mind. He writes her a letter confessing his love for her, and how he doesn't care what it may cost him. Ron receives a letter from Hermione, but his mother catches him and tells him to break it off with her at once.

When they meet at Hogwarts, Ron has every intention of following his mother's orders, but he can't help himself when he sees her. They spend the night together. But it seems someone has caught on to what has happened.

Ron confesses to Alison, and she is very upset because she doesn't want to give him up. But he admits that to her it wouldn't be fair to either of them if the love wasn't there. Now everyone knows of what Ron has done, and it gets back to the Weasley household. Mrs. Weasley sends him a howler telling him to fix his mistake.

The rest is up to you.

This video is Meg's (CheckeredRedHearts) prize for winning 1st place in my contest. She requested a "R/Hr AU". This is what she gets. ;D

Meg, not only are you one of my favorite editors, but you're such a good friend. Thanks for pushing me to do something different. I never would have made this if you hadn't said "AU". And be excited, because AU to me usually means killing someone off. Haha.

Two very amazing videos inspired my thinking for this one.

The first is TikiTyler9's "Pureblood. [a very mini movie]". It got me wondering about other things that might be expected of a pureblood.

The second is NJFA89's "Books From Boxes". I really feel they were able to create some tasteful scenes, and it's what got me thinking a little outside the box.

If you haven't watched any videos from these ladies yet, you are missing out.

Special thanks to Cath (catou121) for helping me think of some clips that might work for certain scenes. More hugs for you!

And thanks to Meg (CheckeredRedHearts) for sending me some clips I needed to help tell the story.

All the info you need is at the end of the video. Please check there before asking any questions. I used a lot of different footage from different places.

Crap. I forgot something. The HP Birthday Skit. *smacks head* XD

It looked so real like it was the real storyline! Great job!

[meeshell384]

@christiangirlmld Aw, thank you! I'm really glad you liked my story!

[MzMidnightShadow]

I am completely in awe of how beautifully this was crafted. It made my heart race at all of the awesomeness. Great work, you deserve great things in your life ^_^

[meeshell384]

@MzMidnightShadow You're really very kind to say that. Thank you very much. I'm just glad you enjoyed it. :)

[eofanfreakusa]

That was amazing, I totally wish that I had your video making prowess. Fab

[meeshell384]

@eofanfreakusa Aw thank you! That's nice of you to say! :)

[harlaquingirl7]

Ha! I was determined to find this vid after you told me you'd made another with Greg Laswell. I have no idea how I missed this, but it's fantastic! It helps that it's my favorite song by him :)

I love the story- you make it realistic, and knowing about some of the pureblood mania some people feel, it definately seems like something that could happen.

I love the ending (I felt awfuly sorry for Allison)

Awesome all around vid :)

lol, true true... It was just so funny coz my mum was like, "Whatcha doing?" & i replied that I was watching Ron/Hermione videos, then I yelled, "Good God, it's Edward!"

poor mum was so confused. she goes, "now i thought he was from that vampire book!!!"

back to the point, i still loved it. lol

@meeshell384 You're welcome. You did a really good job.

@Padfoot8701 I love knowing that there are so many Greg Laswell fans outs there. I just love his voice.

And thanks about the video. I'm happy to hear you think it was creative. :)

[Padfoot8701]

Anything with Greg Laswell is already made of win. This was really creative and rather cleverly edited. Well done!
