✅ The Slytherins
✅ Pace
✅ Angsty and dark
✅🆗 Hermione
✅🆗 Plot
✅🆗 Romance (almost felt like insta-love at times)
❗️❗️Trigger warnings: physical and psychological abuse, rape, drug abuse, alcoholism, depression, and suicide ideation/attempt
I liked it, but two aspects or details are bothering me.
First, while I understand how a seemingly normal and loving relationship can spiral into an abusive one with time, and how the victim often stays because they feel guilt, that they "deserved" it, because they still love the abuser, or because they think they must support their partner, I struggle to reconcile this idea with the Hermione I know from the original series. The author did a great job of showing her mental and emotional state, and how she got there, but I am still wondering about those first few times it happened... Before it became the "normal" daily life... There is no way the feisty and strong Hermione we know from the original series would have let that happen without hexing Ron into the next century.
I like the healing journey, and the way Hermione fought to get back the power that was stolen from her, but at the same time it's hard for me to understand how this fierce character would have let someone treat her this way, to begin with, because she never accepted to be treated disrespectfully or badly in the past, and she was not afraid to tell Ron off when he was mean to her.
Second, the fact that Hermione, and other witches and wizards, can heal incredible wounds with spells and potions, but Hermione can't do anything about her bruises besides a concealing spell is just weird. She can mostly heal third-degree burns and knows spells to heal internal traumas, but cannot heal a bruise. It just seemed to me that it was convenient this way because there needed to be physical proof for the others to discover her secret, but it was not very logical.
Theo's character in this fiction was so sweet and kind and I wanted to hug him tight. He was my favorite of them all. He had more presence than Draco, to be honest. Not that I disliked this Draco, but he just was not that memorable compared to other fanfics I read. Hermione was not bad either, but because of what I explained at the beginning of my review, I struggled to connect with this version of her. That being said, her determination and resiliency were well shown in the story, and I liked that part of her.
The other characters were there mostly to support the abusive relationship plot. Ron was nothing else than a drunk abusive husband, and he showed no depth at all. Every time we would see him, he would drink, insult, and beat, and then he was absent again for a few chapters. Harry and Ginny were only there to remind us that Hermione felt alone and that they couldn't see how bad her situation was, but again, they had no depth and no real purpose in the story.
The romance was cute, that's for sure, but it was not intense or full of sexual tension, as are most Dramione stories I've read lately. Again, it was not bad at all, but it was not amazing or very memorable either. The author skipped over many "building" moments in their relationship and because of that, it almost felt like insta-love at times. We knew that time had passed and that they saw each other every day, that they learned about each other and knew each other, but we didn't see all this development... Or at least we didn't see enough of it for me to feel the deep connection between them.

POV: it’s 2004, you’ve just finished watching the new Harry Potter movie and now you're on your family-shared computer flying through every fanfic you can get your hands on —including the Oliver Wood BL ones.
Amazing. Fantastic. Don’t care if it’s considered fanfic I’m giving this allfive baby. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Can't bring myself to give this the same rating as Manacled. Now that I have read more Dramione to compare it to, I'm going to knock off at least a star and a half. 3.25 because of Hermione's journey and very simp (not so canon) Draco.
“For a moment she wasn’t The Golden Girl. She wasn’t Ron’s wife. She was nothing more than his, melting in arms and allowing him to take over every inch of her.”
Wish this could be made into a physical book. - I do still wish this for every fic I've read in this Ao3 spiral.

TW: domestic violence
First let's talk about Theodore Nott <33 his was the only character that had any life to them
Theo was the type of bloke people seemed to gravitate towards. Like he was a magnet you couldn’t avoid.
And miss hopelessravenclaw was absolutely right.
Funny, caring and perceptive while still battling struggles of his own... Theo should've been the main character if we're being honest.
And for the actual main characters, I just didn't feel any sizzle between draco and hermione 💔 Everything happened way too fast for it to develop any further than two dimensional.
Ron was declared the abusive husband and his whole character was just that. Abusive husband. Every time we saw him in the fic he was there to be drunk and raise his fist to Hermione. His sole purpose in the book was to beat on the heroine.
Next we have Draco, the underdog and the love interest. Since we already established that these characters are two dimensional, don't expect any sizzle during draco and hermione's rendezvous.
Hermione herself gets a pass because she's a survivor of abuse and dull as the fic may be, I respect her strength and perseverance.
Overall this Dramione fic was a 2/5 I couldn't vibe with it :(

This fic is so good, it’s my second time reading it. It’s very well written, the characters stories were really good. The sensitive topics were very well addressed too. Decently recommend reading if you love dramionie (just check the TWs)

This was absolutely heartbreaking and brutal but real. The abuse was horrible and I was glad when it was over and everything was revealed. Hermione's journey towards healing was amazing to see. Draco is totally in love with her and I'm so happy they got their HEA along with Theo and Blaise of course.

Tw: ab*se, r*pe, bl**d, dr*g addiction, be*tings, de*th, alc*holic
This book has some intense TWs but what drew me in was the toxic Ron. I like the toxic Ron stories a lot and this one was good.
I felt it was written well in regards to ab*se and the self blame but at times I felt that she didn’t react in the way I expected when it came to others. It is a generalization I’ve made from my experience with survivors but they tend to shy away from all touch and any tone.
That aside I did enjoy the story a lot! I liked this completely wh!piped version of Draco and Theo really stole the show. It was amazing. I had wished to see more pansy as I had hoped she found a girl friend who could help her but I loved that she was accepted by the slytherins so easily. It was adorable.
Tropes: tox!c Ron, he falls first, who did this to you, she saves herself, miscommunication(I can’t tell if I’d even call it this), they work together, forced proximity, strong FMC, he’s smitten from day one, only has eyes for her, I guess you could say cheating(but not really), multiple POVs(3)
Spice: 🌶️
Steam: 🔥

{3,5⭐️}
Uff….esta foi pesada….
Sinceramente, entre fics de guerra, ou fics tipo esta, que envolvem violência doméstica, prefiro mil vezes as de guerra.
Isto foi basicamente uma broken Hermione, um healed Draco, um soft Theo, e muita dor na alma.
Infelizmente, o Theo foi o único que notou que algo se passava com a Hermione. Ridículo como pessoas que não a conhecem, conseguem notar que algo de errado não está certo, enquanto a família e melhores amigos estão completamente clueless. Falo tanto na ficção como na vida real, btw.
Se me irritou a Hermione ter demorado tanto tempo a admitir o que o Ron lhe fazia? Omd sim! Just fucking tell somebody! É por isto que eu não consigo ler este tipo de histórias. I get so angry! GRRRRRRR
Tentei manter o nível de julgamento no mínimo possível, porque sei que isto é a realidade de muita gente, mas tipo FUCK THEM! Who cares if they’re broken and shit? They’re the ones who beat their wives AAAAAAA
Mas depois de muita frustração, a Hermione contou ao Theo, and let me tell you….I almost cried….
Isto é uma dramione fic, mas o Theo, once again, é a melhor personagem.
”If I let it all in...I'll never recover, Theo. I'll break for good."
”Then break. Destroy it all, so that you can rebuild. It's human. It's okay to break.”
Numa side note, este tipo de história não faz muito sentido no universo de harry potter, porque tipo, eles têm magia. Existem mil feitiços para a Hermione se proteger do Ron e fazer com que ele nunca a encontre se ela fugir. It’s not that hard, so why the fuck did she stayed?

I feel torn by this one. The love between Hermione and Draco felt very rushed to me. It happened too fast. I felt like this had so much potential it just needed a little more time. I loved Hermione's character strength and Theo's character. I also tend not to like when a character "leaves then years later jump" plot.
But overall, it was a good and emotional story. The aspects of struggling with and overcoming abuse felt very real to me.

Dramione fanfic. After the war, Hermione works for the Ministry and is married to Ron.
Draco is assigned as her partner.
This fanfic involves the heavy topic of domestic violence. I love Ron-bashing as everyone else, but this one was dark. I tried my best to convince myself that the abusive husband was Ron, but somehow it ended as another person in my mind. Someone named Ron but not Ron ☺️
The domestic violence and subsequent trauma was well portrayed here, the hopelessness and believing you deserve it was there. I was greatly surprised that the writer included the way people around you pretend nothing is happening. Hermione’s friends and family knew something was wrong, but they didn’t take the time and courage to see past the excuses. It is exactly the same in real life.
I liked how Hermione found her strength again and took time to heal.
I’ll have you know that this fanfic has zero spice. Cero,
Nein, Zero. There is one fade to black scene and that’s it. A little disappointing for me, but a good option if you’re looking for a clean read.

So so bad. The writing was very surface level. Every character was OOC- to the extreme. I love Ron bashing, but in other fics it’s done in a way that makes sense for the character. It’s not that this was too extreme, it was that Hermione’s reaction to it made little sense. I read an abusive fic where Ron treated Hermione like shit because he magically could because he tricked her in his marriage contract. Even then, Hermione fought hard to get away and herself out of the situation. In this fic, everything is surface level and not flushed out. From Hermione’s relationship with Draco to her addiction, nothing felt authentic. The writer relied on being overly dramatic to create shock value that was irritating. So much internal monologue and flashbacks. Pass on this on folks.

i love a bit of ron-bashing but this fic was so flat and awful. full of useless and repetitive exposition that could’ve been written more creatively. dnf chapter 35

June 11, 2025DNF @ 70% I liked the premise of this book a lot, however the characterizations weren’t really my favorite.
September 6, 2024
I am currently sick with Covid, unable to think, unable to move, I don't know if I've ever felt so genuinely miserable in my entire life. But I was finally able to read a little today, and I knew a little dramione would help. I love fics where Draco and Hermione can heal together. No, this is obviously not Canon characterization of Ron, that's why it's fanfiction. Anyway, this was sweet, I don't think all of the plot lines were fully fleshed out, and some of the timing was a bit weird, but I enjoyed it.

“It’s just the two of us, Granger. Let’s start with forever.”
That was a painful one. Ouch. One of the darker ones I’ve read for sure, but in a different way. Normally death eaters are the violent and abusive ones so it was definitely different for it to be Ron. It was an interesting take. Made me cry a bit. But that whole epilogue I was grinning and giggling. Also I love Theo so much as per usual.

An absolutely heartbreaking beautiful read. This cured something inside of me 🥲

It’s easy and action filled. Reads like an american movie- very dramatic, not realistic (and I’m not talking about the magic part obviously) and predictable, but hey, it still works and I love me a story with a happy dramione ending:”) I would love to see the domestic violence issue resolved differently, I didn’t connect with the characters much. Theo stood out for me, but he’s pretty much always my favorite. I hate plot holes and with this type of plot you just have to be ready for them, because in a world of magic it’s very hard to make things work. I get it really, but it still felt so annoying and I got frustrated with so many scenes since I kept thinking: ,,hello?! use your wands guys!” or something along these lines. Hermione, I’m looking at you especially girl. I will always appreciate the quick read that felt entertaining though, I can’t rate it very high, but a 3,5⭐️ is a good rating imo

i normally stay positive in my reviews, but this is genuinely the worst fanfic i have ever read. it felt so rushed, which may be reader error since i read the entire thing in 3-ish hours. the writing just isn’t good and the plot feels extremely forced at times. very repetitive and uncreative. maybe it just wasn’t my cup of tea or something, but i had to fight to finish this one and not dnf half way through.

This fic wasn’t for me.
Couldn’t reconcile this Hermione. She was not Hermione and everything we know her as. I understand she was a victim of DV, but even beyond that she was not herself.
I love a bit of Ron bashing - but this was just ridiculous. I couldn’t even picture her husband as Ron because it was just completely ludicrous.
The love was two dimensional. Insta-love. I was bored.
