Alternate Future Paths

Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for the joy fandom provides. For many years I enjoyed fanfic and fan art. Then I started doing it myself.

When I read Imhilien’s SS/HG fic, A Choice of Roads, I swore to myself if I ever did art I would do this scene.

The link to "A Choice of Roads" is here: [link]

This art is a gift to Imhilien.

The scene illustrated is this one.

“Hermione was floating in darkness.

But then wherever she was she saw a multitude of paths that were like tangled threads below her that represented many what-ifs and what-might-be, not just the futures that dealt with potential partners. Some paths shone brightly and represented a life well lived; others had a dullness to them and tapered off into darkness. All of these threads sprang from a common point that she knew was herself in the Pensieve Room, but when she tried to move towards it, her efforts seemed to be in vain.

In despair she paused and looked more closely at the threads. One seemed familiar somehow - a graceful yet sinuous thread that shone a bright green and scarlet. As if it perceived her attention she felt herself being pulled towards it and the thread became bigger, a river of colour...”

Made with Photoshop.

Not your normal Harry Potter photomanip. The character is a cosplayer who provided their own costume. Hermione is dozmuffnxc. Photo taken by Elvenlaughter.
