I know there are a few typos - but Sony Vegas was a pain in the arse (!) and I'm happy it didn't bug anymore with the final result.

Alright, here's my tea:
This is a video of the fanfiction "Manacled" by SenLinYu on AO3. I didn't want to do a trailer, rather a video capturing the atmosphere and darkness of the story.
It is a story about the bad turn of the Wizarding war - Where Harry Potter died - for good -. Where the remaining Order of the Phoenix is desperately trying to fight, yet loses. The Resistance is lost and most of its members are enslaved. Hermione, as a healer and best friend of Harry Potter, was admitted to the High Reeve, the right hand of the Dark Lord, Draco Malfoy.
I absolutely loved Hermione, Draco and Ginny in the story. Their characters, actions and mindsets are refreshingly different, yet they fit perfectly into this world.

Elle Fanning fits the role of Ginny Weasley much better than Bonnie in my opinion and gave me more material to work with. Originally I wanted to cast someone else as Draco as I didn't think Tom Felton would fit the character of Draco in Manacled as a ruthless, ice-blooded murderer. But on the other hand it should be recognizable as a Harry Potter video, right?

The Picture at the end ought to symbolize the photograph the golden trio took at their last christmas together and which is the only remaining memory of Hermione in the book about the second Wizarding War.
Avendell has painted it beautifully with all the bittersweet pain:

I was mesmerized with the story and I really had to make a video. I tried to capture the essence of desperation and wartime in this video, less focusing on the twisted love story. What I found important, and tried to capture, were the impact death and war made on Hermione, even after she and Draco escaped. Perhaps you have a fancast for them? I'm especially curious about Aurore Rose Malfoy, as I couldn't really find an actress for her.

Without further ado, enjoy the sadness and the bittersweet lingering!
