3.5 ⭐ Cute Dramione one-shot featuring a pining Draco and emotional Hermione

Word Count: 7,792 | Chapters: 1


Summary:

After an embarrassingly public fight with Ron, Hermione stumbles out of the Ministry of Magic's annual New Year's Eve party and into a damp, dreary park. Sitting alone and feeling absolutely humiliated, Hermione is surprised when fellow ministry employee Draco Malfoy finds her and asks if she'd like to be accompanied home. However, before she can reply, Ron calls out trying to find her and Draco leaves. Hermione writes off Draco's kindness as a fluke, but when they find themselves in a similar position a year later on New Year's Eve, she realizes there's a softer side to her old nemesis.


My Thoughts:

The writing and story are pretty good, and of course, it leads to a happy ending. I like how there are some time jumps that center around Draco and Hermione's interactions over the course of 3 consecutive New Year's Eves.

Two things that I didn't quite understand about the story was why Hermione stayed with Ron for so long or why Draco just completely ignored Hermione after their first two interactions. I get that both were playing it safe, but still, I'm just annoyed it took them three years to finally get together. 🙈

Also, love a possessive and confident Draco but wow did he go from 0 to 60 by insinuating marriage and telling Hermione he would give up his inheritance for her.


Overall, it's cute for a Dramione one-shot. I'm glad I read it but I wouldn't put it on my re-read fanfic list.
