wioow, amazing story! Im sooo excited to see nect chappter !

Awesome story... Hope you update soon

Being so drunk you can't remember the previous night still means you're incapacitated enough for it to be rape. Drugging anyone without their knowledge, regardless of the drug, is still morally reprehensible. This fic clearly goes in the direction of excusing both and trying to pass it and manipulation off as romantic. How and why you consider this acceptable to do is beyond me.

Dear Athena,

I hope that you and your loved ones are doing well during these trying times.

Thank you so much for writing this story. You really have a gift for storytelling. As much as I try, I can't get this story out of my head.

While your story incorporates challenging themes and flawed characters, I am really curious to see how you grow and develop the characters, while expounding on the plot. Will Draco and Hermione ever have this long-awaited conversation? Will we ever fully understand Draco's motivations? You've left us with quite a cliff-hanger that our own imaginations have failed to reconcile. Would you please consider completing your story?

What about family trees?

This story is pretty disgusting. A rapist finds out the girl he raped had his kid so he blackmails her into marrying him and playing happy families? What the hell was Hermione thinking agreeing to this?

Draco doesn’t want Andromeda to figure out he raped Hermione? Shocking….

Wow. A rapist berating the woman he raped for not having maternal instincts.

Oops, accidentally pushed the review button.

Draco forced Hermione into a situation where she had to have a relationship with him - she had no choice. It's also worrying how on the basis of him giving her a Calming Draught, the other characters accept things - he still drugged her - if he was that concerned about her alcohol consumption, he could have shared his concerns with someone else at the party.

I do think you're a good writer overall, but that initial event, and to some extent, the characterisations, let this fic down.

Perhaps you could get rid of the drugging aspect, and have it as a drunken night/encounter (for both of them) that gets interrupted, so Draco doesn't get the chance to tell her how he feels, and Hermione is under the impression that it's a one-off/Draco wouldn't have a child with a muggleborn. The general outline of your fic could still work, even with that change, but just a suggestion.

It's funny how time can change things. I read this fic a few years ago, liked it, and bookmarked it, in the hope that you'd update it in due time.

However, reading it now, the event that starts everything off is significantly problematic to me: Draco has sex with a drunk/not 100% Hermione, whom he has also given a calming draught and a fertility potion. First off, he shouldn't have even tried to have sex with her, without being certain that she was fully aware of what she was doing. Second, he shouldn't have been giving her any medication without her knowledge/without the advice of a medical professional. Thirdly, he most certainly shouldn't have been giving her a fertility potion without her knowledge.

One could say that Draco did all of that because he loved her, etc. But love doesn't involve deceit and forcefully creating lifetime bonds that can't be broken. If anything, Draco comes across as obsessive, and then, in the current time, manipulative. OK, OK, I can already hear the generic statements about Slytherins and cunning, but if Draco is so cunning, why couldn't he have channelled that into creating situations that would enable Hermione to get to know him, build a friendship, etc. In this

Pleaseeeee updateeeee

It is still rape if she was intoxicated.

Please finish this story.

what happens?

I couldn't finish reading this. It completely romanticized and normalized rape and sexual assault! It's unbelievable! And Hermione's actions were often completely out of character - she's made out to be some shrinking violet every time Malfoy approaches or wants something or turns to look her way. Meanwhile Malfoy - her RAPIST - is made to look like a "concerned father" and "hero" who was "greviously wronged" because his victim who was well within her rights to do so kept the rapist bastard out of her and her daughter's life. This disgusts me!
