Random Question

But where do hp fanficcers get the idea from that the Headboy and Girl get their own personal rooms from? It's something I've seen quite a few times but I can't remember anything like that in canon? Or are boarding schools really like that.

Or is it just a plot convenience?

Pretty sure that's just a contrivance for the sake of smut.

[lightofdaye]

i thought so. I'm sure I shouldn't really object to contrivances for the sake of smut.

But it just seems contrived. :P

But what are the alternatives? They have a night of passion in the Astronomy Tower? They have a tumble on the grounds? They floo to a more private location? They check in to the Hog's Head for an hour or two?

I think the more appropriate question here is: Why are your characters Head Boy and Head Girl? ;D

[lightofdaye]

lol. Those first two at least sound okay to me. Well I often see it in Dramione's so its an excuse to throw them together so they overcome they're mutual dislike in a way that would never happen in canon.

And of course they have to be Head Boy and Head Girl. They are the brightest witch and wizard of their age!

Ugh.

It's not a trope I'm planning on using. ; Though tbf I would like to see more school fic over the post-war fic that seems to be everywhere now.

Also i promise to stop editing this now. oops.

Read a lot of Dramione, do you, Daye? Because, you know, I would think that would be the least of your complaints there.

I, too, get nostalgic for the school fic of yore. *sigh*

I'll have you know that because of this post, I spent my entire shower singing I Think We're Alone Now. SLH — who is not the morning person that I am — thanks you dearly. XD

lol no. But when I dipped my toe in at random on AFF or Smutty_claus that always seemed to be a thing there. Maybe it was just co-incidence.

I, too, get nostalgic for the school fic of yore. *sigh* really there's only one solution in fandom if you want something. Write it yourself. (or smut-beg your friends *flutters eyelashes at you*)
