This chapter changed my mind about Hermione being spiked with a love potion, eek

Thank you for all your hard work on this.

Great re-read. Your srories are always intriguing, entertaining and layered.

for the most part I have enjoyed this entire fic but Im about ready to set Draco Malfoy on fire

Thank you. This was wonderful.

The writing was good, the plot was good.
I suppose the only things didn’t like were the couple themselves.
I love fanon Draco and Canon/fanon Hermione, but I feel like Hermione was much to OOC in this fic. She’s stubborn, relentless, and first and foremost, rules herself. With her mind. She is more practical than emotional, and she’s almost none of those things here. The ending was very… dissatisfying, as was the general last few chapters.

*spoiler alert*
I really hated the fact that she chose her love for Draco over her own life, rules, FUTURE, even. The whole chapters I was hoping that Draco would at least meet her halfway, but instead all he did was let her choose a house and… what else? I cant remember.
For Hermione, her future would be most important. Not Draco, not love, but HERSELF.

Not to mention Draco-
One of the reasons I love Dramione is that they both grow and mature and fiercely love eachother (and lots of spice lol) and most importantly, we see a reformed Draco. Yes, he seems to have changed his mindset about blood status in this fic, but he clearly still lets it rule him. Him being almost UNFEELING about the Daphne/Theo marriage honestly made me feel dread.
To me it seemed like Draco was always, throughout the fic, more interested in possessing her than loving her, while Hermione was besotted with him. I was really uncomfortable with that.
If I were in Hermione situation, I would have definitely left Draco, or just not engaged with him at all if he persisted not meeting halfway. If marriage was about sacrifices, why didn’t he sacrifice? Anything at all? Not living in Malfoy Manor isn’t a sacrifice, MALFOY.
As I said, I would definitely not have bent to ‘fit in’ (though it’s suffocation) especially as Hermione HERSELF stated that she felt restricted! And if I wouldn’t go ahead with this, why on earth would Hermione? She’s ten times smarter and more practical than I am, and the fact that Draco didn’t exactly have character development made me disappointed.

Perhaps I’m much too of a mordern person, and marriages and contracts like these enrage me, but I genuinely think Hermioen should have at least compromised with Draco instead of “becoming a Malfoy wife” as Pansy put it.

Still, this opens up for a possible sequel, sharing their marriage and relatifs up and how Hermione deals with it. Because to me, her love for Draco was definitely not worth sacrificing her job, her future, her freedom and her whole tucking personality.

Quite disappointed at the end. Draco is like a kid, Hermione should be much better than that and they barely talk deeply

I'm so thankful to all reviewers... Because this first chapter feels off and now I know there's no point in futher reading.

Honestly, I feel sad that the Hermione YOU created is unable to have enough personality to answer when someone says these things about her. What a weak protagonist. Stopping reading this garbage you call history.

In all honesty, I did not like this fic. I’ve tried to read it multiple times, and I didn’t finish until this last time. The depiction of Hermionie seems way off from someone with her logical mentality. Also, I feel like the story was rushed in many ways. The writing itself was good, but I suppose I didn’t like the execution of it.

Really great!

This is Very Sophisticated. I appreciate the mature take on this. I learn from this chapter every time I read it.

So clever! “Bad with a hint of horrific.” You’re so fun!

Fantastic!

Such a jackass
