4⭐️

boy this one was ANGSTYYYY

gave very much When Harry Met Sally vibes and I both loved and semi-hated it bc what do you mean it was right person wrong time for so long!!!!!

it’s marketed as a rom-com but was not very rom-comm-y to me, so just take note beforehand that you’re in for a world of anxiety watching these two never verbalize anything ever lol

LIBRAZO. obvio otro fanfic de uno de mis ships favoritos, no había duda. fue lo más. SUFRI UN MONTÓN. encima está basado en when harry met sally, asi que imaginense el SLOW BURN. me morí y renací y me morí y renací MIL VECES. es buenísimo.

Obviously read this one because it’s named after one of my fave songs ever (Lovefool by the cardigans).

“LOVE ME, LOVE ME, SAY THAT YOU LOVE ME”

Anyways, this is so “When Harry Met Sally” coded. A cute little rom-com with a little extra drama and angst. Definitely an underrated dramione IMO.

So wholesome 🥹

Why do I keep falling in love with every version of Draco Malfoy?

[heresignis]

Loved the beginning of this fic but then the romcom vibe disappeared imo. It was full of heartbreak, and missed chances and mutual yearning and while i really enjoyed it, I expected something else. Plus, there were few things I don't like in my books in general - time jumps (too many in such a short story) and dating other people. While the pining was great, I wish it didn't take them sooo many years to actually get together.

4.5 ⭐️ such a great adaptation of When Harry Met Sally with some really original and poignant elements. If you liked meet your match and love and other historical accidents this is right up your alley!

Ok so this one has Draco banned from magic but that goes by fast and it’s an early 2000s reference heavy rom-com but not that much com honestly.

[Cara · Rating 4 out of 5]

Draco gets doomed by the Ministry to live without his magic for a year.

Hermione, tasked to chauffeur the proud but now magically impotent wizard to a small cottage in the middle of nowhere, never imagined she would be responsible for teaching her former nemesis how to use a toaster.

Neither of them expected that the forced collaboration would be the beginning of a decade-spanning love story.

4.25 Stars. 1.5 Spice
Hermione pov.
First Takes place a couple years after final battle, 2001. Time jumps to 2006.
Ron/lavender( she’s married and he thinks she will leave her husband for him) Hermione/viktor- they break up and she’s in Japan for a year. Draco and Hermione start writing each other. Draco/Astoria get married. Eventually gets divorced. Ron/pansy
Right person wrong time, and it’s the range of 10 years of being idiots in love before getting together

A cute read, lightly inspired by When Harry Met Sally. Friends to lovers, big time. I wasn't expecting the story to span a literal decade so obviously I was a bit frustrated with how slow of a burn it was, but it was still good.

- "I have a memory that is not a memory." LOVED this line so much. It needs no explanation, it just makes sense in a very deep way.
- cottage in Leecheville - no magic Draco for a year, Hermione just did drop off then Muggle bucket list
- bookstore "I'll have what she's having" moment
- they become best friends after being pen pals for a bit
- happy it didn't d0 the cliche of getting her parents' memories back
- Ron opens a men's fashion shop...??? okay
- mega intense get together in the rain scene

[Sharon O. · Rating 4 out of 5]

It might seem a little devastating to read the summary that said that Hermione and Draco took ten years before finding each other. It was ten years of yearning, distance, friendship and dampening of their feelings by dating other people. It makes the ending all the more satisfying and heartfelt when they finally confess their love for each other. I appreciate the focus on how Hermione and Draco are each other’s best friends and support. There was so much trust between the characters that it was really touching.

[Katie · Rating 4 out of 5]

IDK what it is about these 2 but I can read about them falling in love over and over and never get over it. I thought this would be a light hearted fun palate cleanser but of course I always cry over Draco and the depth of his self-loathing and guilt. I will never get over him. It was a really good story filled with years of angst and longing. I love these 2 and WillowingScribe did a wonderful job with this story.

3.8/5⭐️

I liked the premise. Nora Ephron movies are like crack to me so I thought this would be right up my alley. And it was… I’d say the first 80% of the book was like 4.2/5⭐️. But the last 20 % just didn’t do it for me for some reason. It felt like the magic, which had been so present and steadily increasing throughout the entire book, was lost a little bit.
But nonetheless. It was still a cute, entertaining story and I’m surprised it isn’t more popular on Goodreads🥹

Mi primer Dramione fanfic y amé cada momento de él

Fue muy angustiante, realmente odio los slow burns pero uno de vez en cuando no hace daño

Estuvo excelente

[Tarah Fitzgerald]

ugh what a great read

[Gloria Mundi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Oh my god, the angst. Over 10 years of (mostly long distance) pining. I feel traumatised

[monii · Rating 4 out of 5]

10 YEARS OF PINING? MISCOMMUNICATIONS? MISUNDERSTANDINGS? JEALOUSY? WHIPPED DRACO? DOWN BAD HERMIONE? COUNT ME IN!

[Bridget · Rating 3 out of 5]

Solid dramione, some aspects I really enjoyed but not one of my favorites.

[Ri✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Pining. Angst. Draco malfoy. What more could you want.

[Rebecca Nguyen · Rating 4 out of 5]

Timeline was kinda insane on this one lol also hated the whole Ron and Lavender story line.

[Annie · Rating 3 out of 5]
