Herminny is the femslash ship between Hermione Granger and Ginny Weasley from the Harry Potter fandom.
Canon[]
Hermione and Ginny are one year apart at Hogwarts, although they are both sorted into Gryffindor. Hermione is close friends with Ron Weasley, Ginny's older brother, and they mostly know each other through their mutual connections to him. Hermione is also very close to Harry Potter, the object of Ginny's affections and her eventual husband. Hermione herself eventually marries Ron, officially joining the Weasley family. She and Ginny become sister-in-laws through this marriage, and appear to still be close over twenty years after graduating from school.
Hermione and Ginny become close friends as a result of being the only girls known to stay over at the Burrow. While Harry shares a room with Ron, Hermione shares a room with Ginny. Ginny is the closest female friend that Hermione has, although it can be argued that Ginny has other, closer female friends herself. Still, they are confidantes for each other and willing to help each other with more "girly" things that they can't discuss with their male friends or siblings. Hermione confides in Ginny about her Yule Ball date with Viktor Krum, and later tells her that they kissed. This is information she never shares with Harry or Ron. Later, Ginny tells Hermione about her relationship with Michael Corner before she reveals it to anyone else. In their older years at Hogwarts, Hermione gives Ginny advice on how to approach her feelings for Harry.
Hermione and Ginny are both members of Dumbledore's Army, and fight in multiple battles together. They are both involved with the Battle of the Department of Mysteries and the Battle of Hogwarts. Hermione and Ginny fight together against Bellatrix Lestrange, until Molly Weasley finally kills her. Hermione is also seen comforting Ginny after the death of Fred Weasley. On a whole, both girls are known for being fiery and headstrong, and their personalities compliment each other well in that regard.
Fanon[]
Herminny is a popular femslash ship in the fandom. It is often used within the Drarry fan community as a way to pair off Ginny with another character and keep her out of Harry's way. Some others prefer Herminny to Romione, considering them similar ships as the two characters are siblings. Some simply prefer to see Hermione end up with another woman, but other fans are harsher towards Ron and believe that he never treated right. Ginny, then, can be a natural replacement for him.
This ship currently has over 1100 works on AO3. It is Ginny's fifth most popular ship, but it doesn't even crack Hermione's top ten. Still, it is one of Hermione's more popular femslash ships. Herminny is most often rivalled by the canon ships of Hinny and Romione, as well as the femslash ship Linny. It also has a sizable presence on FFN with over 170 works.
