#a touch of photoshop
So, I personally don’t consider most of what happened in the movies canon (Probably because I read the books before the movies came out–well, books 1-4 anyway). As such I usually don’t think of Hermione having her Mudblood scar. However, given its prevalence in fan fiction, I find myself spending a lot of time thinking about what would happen if Bellatrix hadn’t finished the job, so to speak. What if she got interrupted (ideally by Draco), and Hermione only has half a slur on her arm?
The question then becomes how much of the word would be there? And would the significance of the scar be different for her, or others, depending on how complete, or incomplete, it is? Like, if she only had “Mu” or “Mudbloo” or “Mud” etc. (or what if Bellatrix spelt the word wrong?)
Because I feel like it would change a few things in how she, and others, approached/viewed the incident (especially if someone interrupted the process of her getting it in the first place).
Anyone else ever wonder about this?
