Notice-Me-Not is just a fanon thing? Noooo :-O

[birdsofshore]

I was just searching for info on the Notice-Me-Not charm, and there isn't any, because it's a FANON INVENTION. NOOO! Really? The first webpage I found where someone was asking about it, had some smartarse saying "I think you'll find that's just a sad FAN FICTION thing, you poor deluded fool", I was smirking away: "heh, that's what you think, I have seen it in LOADS OF.....er.... loads of fics. Err. Ahem."

Did you all know this? Who made it up? What other fanon things have become so widespread that they can fool us like this? I know about Tempus, but can you tell me any others?

Sometimes people like a rock solid reason for things happening, I think. Snape seems to favour Draco and later acts to protect him = he must be his godfather. It's not a favourite fanon thing of mine (unlike Leatherpants!Draco, heh)

We don't know what Draco was up to in the years between the end of book 7 and the Epilogue. He might as well have developed a penchant for leather pants when he goes out and hits the gay clubs of London. But obviously he wouldn't wear them when bringing his son to the Hogwarts' Express. ;)

He MIGHT. *stubborn* In fact I distinctly remember it happening *mumbles* in a dream I had, OK?

A thousand fanfics prove you right. :)

LOL I read a fic like that, you know. ;)

[birdsofshore]

There should be MORE fic like this :D

I think leatherpants!Draco is definitely fanon-canon.
