the writing is so juvenile. I don't understand how this almost always manages to get on dramione recommendation lists, especially when some of the fics it's usually surrounded by are literal masterpieces

don’t know if that was the goal, but this fic actually made me root against hermione

First off I want to express how excited I am that a Fanfiction story can be tracked on Goodreads!
Now for the review:
This was a good story. Up until book 6, I absolutely loved it. By the epilogue I liked it again but book 6 and 7 weren't my favorite and I almost gave up on it. I liked the twist but some sort of indication of that twist would have helped to keep me interested.
The story was well written and Colubrina is extremely creative! I have read other stories of hers and I like her style. I've already recommended her stories to friends and other potterheads that I know will enjoy her point of view.

This story gave me the biggest “liberal girlfriend with conservative boyfriend” vibes and I hated it. The Slytherins remained blood purists, even after befriending Hermione and She had no issue with them being bigots, even though the author constantly states that she has a strong sense of justice and a particular moral code about fairness. Her friends are all bigots but, because they don’t do anything to her (only because she’s a Slytherin, they would have no issue calling her slurs if she wasn’t) she’s more than willing to forget that they are in fact racist. The author also made everyone and their mother apart from the Slytherins raging racists to justify Hermione joining the dark side, when in reality no justification was needed, this Hermione would have joined anyway simply because Draco was gonna do it and she’s meant to be his trophy wife. Hermione’s actions towards the end made me actively wish they didn’t win. Just to sum up her unforgivable acts (in my opinion), she kills Hedwig, takes George’s ear, kills Fred and helps kill Harry and multiple other people that didn’t have to die at all since she apparently always planned for Voldemort to die. The attempt to humanize her at the end with the tree planting was ineffective, she has been unremorseful and even gleeful at times about her actions and attempting to give her guilt right at the end is honestly ridiculous.

What if Hermione was the first Muggleborn in decades, that was sorted into Slytherin?
Well for once she would have a much different friend circle. In fact, the first person that befriends her is none other than Draco Malfoy.
This fic was so well written and even tho it contained all the 7 years of Hogwarts classes, I still wanted to read more of them.
All the characters were so well written and I loved each and every single one of them especially Blaise,Theo and Goyle (yes, Goyle. I was shocked too!).

Dislike this story so much that I wonder where all the positive reviews come from; it’s completely overrated, in my opinion. Probably the worst Dramione I’ve read.

An upside down world fic that assigns Ron to be the one to sneer and spit "Filthy little mudblood" instead of Draco, and gives Narcissa the line "Not my daughter..."
This would have been acceptable if there were some explanation or background context as to how the Malfoys had 180'ed their beliefs, and how Slytherin had so easily accepted "mudbloods", but there was none whatsoever.
This fic didn't really bother trying to make sense. Also, the relationships here weren't memorable at all, except the non-romantic relationship of TR & HG, although that was brief.
Nonetheless it was a good read for a time k/filler. It also picked up close to the end, when they had some minor plotting going on. I especially enjoyed how they needed dark to defeat dark - a different approach than having light defeat dark.
For a similar take that makes a lot more sense, try The Missing Sister by singularittae.

Woahh. This is the story that would've happened if Hermione was sorted into Slytherin. This was really good, and I loved it. Seriously. Go read it. Now.

I KNOW THE COVER IS BAD, BUT HEAR ME OUT. imagine book 1 - sorcerer’s stone, hermione gets sorted into SLYTHERIN. i was so confused and consumed by this in the best way possible 😭 admittedly, the writing…got very juvenile at some points, BUT who’s to say that’s a bad thing? this is technically a jfiction series 👀

I struggled to get through this after a while and wanted to dnf around 85%. I had made it so far I felt it would’ve been a waste of my time to not finish the story. I just couldn’t connect with any of the characters. Some of the dialogue was way too mature sounding for some of their earlier years. The writing style was also not for me. I can’t believe this is so highly recommended.

ok yes it’s a harry potter fanfic. but it wasn’t dirty and it was just a semi dark au. pls don’t judge

I gave up about 3/4, couldn’t finish the story, even then I was forcing myself to read it. There’s so many positive reviews on this story so I decided to read it and I wasn’t impressed, if I’m being honest. The hype of this story made me excited but then it quickly diminished when I found myself forcing to read chapter after chapter. I hate to leave a story unfinished but this just got so boring. Maybe Dark Hermione isn’t my thing, but I couldn’t understand why, the motives of her backing up those who are bigots and detested her muggleborn status get her loyalty after a while. People praise it for being realistic but I couldn’t see it. Rating: 1/5

Honestly? I expected a little bit more. But it was nice.
It's been quite disconcerting to go from 700,000 words for one year to all 7 years (and beyond) in one story, so it felt like it went very quickly.
Hermione is totally out of character the entire story, even if she is sorted into Slytherin. I found old Mouldy to be very out of character compared to canon and Draco was irritating.
Other than that, I enjoyed it. But it's not my favourite.

The first 3 years are really good and were a really enjoyable read - but then it goes a little downhill. Frankly everything after year 6 seemed a little out of character and tedious to read even for this alt universe version.
But I mean I finished it so here we are.

Wonderful take on how one small change in the sorting will change the course of history. Creative way of showing the other side of the war

The one that started my love of this genre.
The foundation of dark Hermione in Slytherin is a a good one.

“I’m Muggle-born,” Hermione choked out, figuring she might as well get it over with.
“Yeah, well, you’re our Muggle-born now. We take care of our own.”
What if Hermione had never ended up in Gryffindor, but in Slytherin instead? That’s exactly what this fanfiction is all about. And honestly, I absolutely loved it.
We follow Hermione in Slytherin and get to read about her adventures year after year, with some of the original Harry Potter events remaining mostly unchanged.
I just loved the Ron/Harry bashing, seeing Lucius and Narcissa being there for Hermione, and watching Snape become a mentor to her — it was just amazing.
It was a quick and easy read — nothing too complicated, just really enjoyable. I’m so glad I gave it a try.
— Quotes
“It’s a Nimbus 2000,” Ron bragged. Hermione leaned over to Theo and said loudly, “Is he actually bragging about another boy’s broomstick?” Ron flushed, and Theo bit his lip and looked down at her, a grin on his face.
“Yeah,” Draco said, “But you’re worth twelve of those idiots. C’mon. I got a new box from my mum this morning. I bet it’s got some of those cakes you like so much.” Hermione smiled a little at that. “How come she always sends those now?” “Because I told her you liked them,” he said.
“I know some of the… some of our Housemates, they…” “You’re one of us,” Draco said, handing her one of the little cakes he’d saved from his last box. “House trumps blood.”
“Expecto patronum,” he said, and his doe scampered forth, prancing around the room with a pleased step, stopping to sniff at Hermione before launching herself out the window and away. “She’s beautiful,” Hermione breathed, watching the patronus scamper away. “Yes,” Snape said. “Yes, she was.”
she heard Draco’s intake of breath and looked up, her own gift still folded in tissue inside the box, to see the goofy smile on his face. “So… for real then?” he asked, and when she nodded dumbly he wrapped his arms around her and squeezed so tightly she squeaked and he loosened his grip just a little. “I know it’s… Muggles don’t do this so young, do they?” he asked. “I don’t want to presume you…” “Since we were eleven,” she said.
She looked at the potion with its mother-of-pearl sheen and the spirals of steam rising into the air. “Amortentia,” she said softly. “A powerful love potion. It’s different for each person; it smells like what they love most in the world.” She paused and inhaled. “Like a broom handle, maybe, and herbs, and...” She trailed off and flushed.
“Professor Slughorn,” she began, but Snape stopped her. “Horace has become even more of a fool in his old age than he was in his youth which is, frankly, a significant accomplishment.” He paused. “ I am proud of you.”

Possibly the best fanfiction I've read in a long long time. Absolutely gorgeous and perfectly crafted, a must read.

"I will never, ever stop loving you. Through rain and fire and war, never ever doubt my love for you."
3/5 ✨
5 minutos lendo essa fanfic e eu já sabia que a musica para ela seria Jump the Fall da Taylor!!! Dramione nessa história é essa musica por inteiro.
Eu li sem esperar grandes coisas, apesar de ter visto um ou outro vídeo indicando ela, não sabia o que me aguardava realmente quando fui ver, por isso foi uma surpresa encantadora ter me divertido tanto. Apesar de ter alguns problemas com a escrita, sinto que falta desenvolvimento e aprofundamento de vários tópicos, essa história é um what if adorável.
Não adorável no sentido de fofo, mas de adorar mesmo. Me trouxe um fascínio, a história cativa que li em menos de 24 horas, tomada pela curiosidade do que vinha a seguir. Acredito que ele é um ótimo começo e gostaria de ler uma versão mais "adulta" dela. Que trabalhe melhor pontos políticos da sociedade pure-blood e toda sociedade mágica num geral.
A narrativa foca muito no romance em momentos que gostaria de ver outros sentimentos se desenvolvendo, um peso maior para as emoções e as ações. Mais desse desenrolar da moralidade cinza dos personagens que parece ter sumido para trazer uma reviravolta de "olha nos somos os bonzinhos na verdade, veja como os supostos herois estão sendo malvados", é frustrante ver isso acontecer pois o potencial estava ali. É possível trabalhar esse lado negativo da Sonserina junto de todo lado positivo, e ainda mostrando o lado negativo dos heróis sem tentar "inverter os papeis", a graça da moralidade cinza é o meio entre o bem e o mal e alcançar um desses lados.
Resumindo, apesar de vários contrapontos eu me diverti tanto lendo e eu no fim adorei. Releria a história sim, indico avisando desses contrapontos e é isso.

I want to start this review off same as I do always when reviewing Fan Fiction on Goodreads by saying that I understand the controversy around reviewing fanfic on good reads but it’s the only place I log my reading, so this is for personal looking back only.
Because of that I wanted to add a disclaimer:
It is illegal to purchase fan fiction and is a breach of copyright laws to make money from other peoples characters. If you want a physical copy of this book please download and bind yourself.
I found this fic difficult to read, I kept putting it down and picking it back up. The writing in the first half of the book felt like it was written for kids, and maybe it is.. this fic gets recommended a lot on TT and I’ll be honest I was quite surprised by that. It may just be that this writers writing style just isn’t for me but trying to be constructive rather than insultive, I don’t think this fic is anywhere near the types of fics it’s being recommended with/against
The last 30% did make up for it, I enjoyed the twist, minus the last page because I refuse to people Hermione or Draco wouldn’t have killed the shit out of those nurses for those comments.
The characters just felt so bleh. If it wasn’t dramione, meaning I could fill in at least some of the character gaps with other vibes, I’d have probably DNF’d. This fic could have been a lot longer and a lot more detailed and I think it could have been a masterpiece. The idea and the plot is a great one, I just don’t think it was executed the way it should have or could have been.

The green girl is a fic that answers the questions “what if Hermione got sorted into slytherin? Would the golden trio survive without Hermione?” And it ends up veering wayyyy off canon.
The writing isn’t anything special. The dramione was cute but more of a side plot to the real thing: hermione’s (very ooc) character development. But regardless of the objective meh ness of thsi fic I LOVED IT SO MUCH.
Such an enjoyable fic I can’t even explain, and thsi is coming from me who is notorious for my inability to put up with OOC hermipne granger! The nostalgia, the vibes, the journey through hogwarts, the slutherin common room found family… it was all just feeding my HP fangirl heart.
Loved Hermione in this, Draco was surprisingly endearing, LOVE the Malfoys in general actually and how Hermione was a daughter to them, the slytherin gang was so fun, and another unexpected surprise was how much I grew to love Snape and hermione’s relationship. Even psychotic voldy had his moments.
Recommend to people who aren’t just dramione fans but huge potterheads (and slytherin fans) and don’t mind vibes over writing 💚

{Isto foi o meu 300° livro. I might cry….}
I can’t do this. I give up!
Acho que é a primeira vez que assumo um DNF.
Fui vítima de uma capa bonita….
Esta fic podia ter sido fixe. Um retelling de Harry Potter em que a Hermione é slytherin. Mas damn…..what a waste of time…..
A premissa era “O que acontecia se o Cérebro do Golden Trio não fizesse parte do grupo e estivesse nos slytherin?”
E a resposta é: aconteceria exatamente a mesma coisa, mas a Hermione perde a personalidade dela🙄
Ou melhor, o único traço de personalidade dela é gostar do Draco e estar do lado dos Death Eaters, só porque é slytherin e, aparentemente, o Voldemort devia aceitar uma muggleborn no lado dele, só porque ela usa um cachecol verde na escola🫠🫠🫠
Tentei forçar ler para ver o que acontecia com a chegada do Voldemort, mas não consegui.
Única parte boa: o Snape, Lucius e Narcissa gostam da Hermione

At the beginning, an interesting story with thoughtful concepts and remarks.
But then, at around Year 6, it slumped for me. I was considering dropping it with a one-star rating, but decided to read all of it to be able to give it a fair review, also considering the previous years which were nicely done, if a bit… well, dumb!Harry, but, in retrospect, probably not worse than in canon.
Now I’m glad I read through all of it, Year 7 started off “worse” for me, but an interesting turn was foreshadowed (did I dare hope for it) and realised. The ending was wonderfully intrigued.
Still not my favourite fic, but nevertheless one I’m glad to have read.
Sorry, no more details, as I do not wish to spoiler.
