Het was wel oke. De eerste helft was beter dan de tweede helft. Het boek ging echt langzaam en er was ook niet echt spanning. Dat was wel jammer en vandaar 3 sterren.

Wonderful book. Great plot and execution. Refreshing and very lovely.
Felt good to read things through Draco's very slytherin commentary, yet very Gryffindor.
Here are the things I liked about this one year wise:
Thankyou for writing something this good. It won over my heart.

I really liked this. My friend actually read the whole thing and immediately started sending me screenshots to get me to read it. I was kinda skeptical because I don't really like harry potter stuff unless its crack. BUt it was actually really good!
I'm a big fan of forced character development and slow burn so that parts alone were a dream come true. Draco's development is done so naturally and beautifully. It's fantastic. Not only that but nearly all the other characters are all more developed than in the original series.
And the entire series is cut down to the best parts so it makes for a much easier read.
I even periodically reread it, though I usually stop before year 7, just because I personally don't find it as entertaining as the rest of it.
IN SUMMARY- It's great, it's hilarious, and the plot do be plotting

4.75 stars 🌟. This fic was so fucking good omg and is still good even when I re-read it ;).
The whole concept of Gryffindor Draco is an interesting one in general that this author actually nailed it as we really got to see Draco grow from a Bratty pureblood kid to a deep man (like he has a lot of qualities?)
The humour in this book was soooooooo fucking funny like there was many instances that I was laughing out loud coz of the dumb shit they said.
One of my favourite parts of this fic was the friendship that they are shared, as honestly their relationship between them all is what made this fic so good. I like seeing the different duos in the group of four coz u had Hermione and Draco the smart ones, Ron and Harry the dumb ones, Hermione and Ron the bickers, Harry and Draco the insulters, Harry and Hermione the siblings, and Ron and Draco the dislike to friends (there is obviously so much more to their friendship, but I just wanted to do it as one word).
The chapters were long as fuck but I actually didn’t mind it (which is a surprise for me coz I hate long chapters) as they flew by coz of how enjoyable this fic was.
This fic was labelled a slow burn which it definitely was but it felt like there was the tiniest of build up to them actually getting together (like no real tension that I felt, there many have been some I didn’t catch 🤷♀️). During my reread, I did a counter of how many moments/hints of feelings there were and I got to 16 and by then they had gotten together, so I stopped counting (I like to disprove myself :).
One of the only parts of this fic which I greatly disliked was one decision that Draco made regarding Theo, I thought it was stupid and should’ve never been made (I do however understand both sides of their argument but I still think it was a bad idea and should’ve never happened).
Overall, I really fucking enjoyed this fic and I fr would have read it if all the years were in even more detail (which would have made the fic like 500k words but it would still be worth it :).

first read: 5 star
second read: 3.5 rounded to 4 stars because i finished it
in all their fics caffeinatedflumadiddle is very very very good at pointing out and making the dumbassery of characters and idiocy of secret plots funny
there were so many scenes that were so so funny just because draco was being blunt about obvious safety hazards and poor teaching in the school which definitely carried the fic for me
i wasn't prepared for it so i think it made me enjoy it less but this story really makes draco the main character. as in it isn't 'harry potter's story' told through the eyes of a gryffindor draco, instead now draco is front and centre in driving the plot, harry really doesn't feel like an active agent ever except in the final battle scene. i like the idea that harry is important to the plot but honestly he wasn't at all except where there was no way that it could be avoided to still follow canon events.
