Mind the Bump

by Soap1

Hermione Granger and her colleague (and, though she sometimes hates to admit it, her friend) Theo Nott, are busy at the Research Institute for the Alchemical Sciences, working together on an innovative, though secretive, project that more than one person might like to get their hands on. She doesn't have much time for dating, and certainly isn't ready to think about starting a family.

But after an exciting, though unexpected, one-night stand, she finds herself pregnant. With Draco Malfoy's baby.

As her research continues, as her pregnancy progresses, will she be able to make room for Draco in her life?

Fluff 💓

Of all my dislike for the accidental pregnancy trope, I’m glad I read this fanfic. What convinced me to start reading was the mention of Scorpius Malfoy, and I wasn’t wrong. I adore this kid. The fanfic brought me back to the Dramione era, or as I like to say – my era. Everything was perfect, sweet, and Daddy Draco 😮‍💨🥵 There’s no elaborate plot or intense action, but you’ll find comfort and cuteness throughout. The supporting characters are incredibly supportive. And funny, especially Theo. I’ll always be touched by watching Hermione and Scorpius interact. And the found family trope is here too! Long story short, I love it.

3.5 ⭐️

omg i loved this so much!!!!
the characters, especially Hermione, were very mature, in my opinion. i loved the fact that Astoria was part of Draco's past and that she didn't feel jealousy but gratitude towards her.
i wish we could've seen a talk between Ron and Hermione but i'm glad that we didn't get to see much of him. in that sense, i think Draco should've confronted Flora as well.
i was not expecting Dennis to be the villain, i was more inclined to consider Flora.
i loved Narcissa and even Lucius. they were so adoring towards their grandchildren and i'm glad they were able to get through their prejudices towards Hermione.
theo and charlie??? loved it.
my favorite part is that although they were thrown together due to circumstances you can clearly tell that they really love each other and that it was not simply a product of a forced relationship.

I thought Flora would have had a bigger part to play than it was.
Cute story tho

4.5⭐

I’ll take care of them for you

Quem diria que Theo Nott daria um excelente cupido ? rsrs. UM QUERIDO, SEMPRE ARRASANDO TODA VEZ QUE APARECIA.

Eu amei a dinâmica do Draco e da Hermione, principalmente com o Scorpius s2 que neném fofo. Amei o fato de não ter aquele excesso de suposição vindo dos personagens em relação a outro ou uma situação, sabe ? Vulgo a Hermione sendo muito ''observadora'' a ponto de na verdade está cega na visão passada em vez de tentar realmente dar uma chance pra mudanças. Baita ponto positivo, sério o tanto que é recorrente nas fics me estressa.

Confesso que teria amado ter visto mais da Pansy e do Blaise (amo eles *choro*), sinto que eles iam entregar tanto nesse contexto de gravidez mágica aaaaaah

Eu amei como a história não se forço a ser super dramática ou extensa, pelo contrário foi bem rápida, divertida e fofa. BEM FAMILY.

MDS QUE FIC FOFA...SÉRIO AQUECEU MEU CORAÇÃO.

it was cute!

[Ruxanda · Rating 5 out of 5]

It was extraordinary! Loved it. The slow burn,the unexpected, problematic, unique and wonderful pregnancy that brought these characters all together. Simply exquisite! Loved the evolution of the story and that of certain more dark and unredeemable characters.

[Tessie · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is the first Dramione FF that I’ve allowed my self to read where one of them has a child from a previous relationship. Up until this point I didn’t think my lil’ jealous heart could handle it (because the audacity of one of them loving someone else prior to it being THEM. Unacceptable.) However, this was well written with all of the fluff (not my usual cup of tea but exactly what I needed)

Summary
He has a habit of lingering in her office just a bit longer than is really necessary.It's supposed to be an affair. Simple. Easy. Then, something happens that makes it complicated.”

2/5 - granger is cheating not draco but i hate affairs sooo

5 ⭐️: Absolutely loved it. I’ve read a few unplanned pregnancy Dramione tropes and this one was perfection beginning to end. The pace, the dialogues, the fluffy vibes, the steamy scenes, the guarded yet protective and vulnerable Draco, the rest of the wizarding world characters: it came together so well. No notes and can’t wait to reread it

This is the manifestation of all my fantasies about these two as a family after reading way too many fanfics that crammed all the fluffy, domestic family stuff into a tiny epilogue.

[Emma · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was too cutie!!!

I usually don’t want to read about Draco or any other MMC whose had a wife and a child before they met the FMC but since it’s Draco and Hermione, I’ll let it go sighhhhhhh plus Scorp is too cute to think differently. Also, I also don’t rlly enjoy reading one night stands + accidentally pregnancy but again, since it’s Dramione - I’ll let it go haha I mean I did let it go :p

In the beginning, I was a bit iffy to read it because of the reasons mentioned above but it was so cute and fluffy, I couldn’t stop ahh!!

[Peach Lost In Fiction · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was such a cute one! I don't usually like Hermione as a stepmom but this was just amazing!
Scorpius and Draco in this fanfiction were adorable together. Filled with the right amount of trauma, heartache, mystery and hilarity, mind the bump is truly one of the many wonderful dramione fanfictions.
What stood out the most was there wasn't Ron bashing. Which I feel is unfair, I like Ron, especially for those who have read the books. Ronald Weasley is a true best friend, though his character was almost non-existent in this one.

“Being a new mum isn’t very sexy, is it?” asked Hermione.
“It’s the sexiest fucking thing I’ve ever seen,” he said.


“Oh!” Narcissa said suddenly. “I’ve got a camera. Draco, get in there with them.”


In the beginning Draco made me nervous but I’m glad I kept reading what turned out to be a fluffy family-goodness fic.

ändå? helt ok. eller asså. tycker det är SÅ jobbigt när Astoria är med för jag kan inte bestämma mig om jag hatar henne eller älskar henne och det här vart bara jobbigt det var ju fett sad???? aja KÄNDES det gjorde den. gulligt fluff också!!! och tbh… Auror Malfoy AND daddy Malfoy? best of both fkn worlds. 🤝🏼🙌🏼🧎🏼‍♀️‍➡️🧎🏼‍♀️‍➡️🫶🏼🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️

takie na siłę 3/5
początek mi się podobał, czytało się przyjemnie, ale końcówka bardzo słaba - czułam, że ostatnie rozdziały są już na siłę i na szybko, jakby autorka nie miała już chęci pisać XD wiadomo, że to ff, ale szkoda bo potencjał był duży, a końcówka była już po prostu nudna i momentami glupia

“I’ll take care of them for you,” she whispered quietly to the woman who had loved him first. “I’ll take care of them both.”.

Wasn't in the mood to pick up a published book, so went throught my list and found this. A perfect fluffy Dramione fic.

I didn't even feel like this was a 84k fic. It went by so quickly and smoothly. I think that's a sign of a fic being well-written that you don't even know if you read it or watched it.

Scorpius was a dear and I loved Narcissa. Lucius turned out to be good too, surprisingly, since everyone just either kills him or puts him in Azkaban. And of course Draco and Hermione were absolutely fantastic.

Now off to go finish the movie, To All The Boys I've Loved Before. Byeee.


The second reread is for another fic named By All Rights Mine. I couldn't find anything like it to put on goodreads so I just put it here.

[Evonne · Rating 4 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this Dramione fanfic! The descriptions of pregnancy were excellent and generally accurate. Would have loved more symbolism worked into the events at the end, but a solid read and HEA.

Absolutely loved this fic. A bit rushed, but other than that it is pure perfection.
