She wore that Granger expression, the one that said she was going to bully someone into something. Draco had a bad feeling it was about to be him. “I’ll marry you,” Hermione said.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I’m not doing it for free. I marry you, then after a year we divorce and you agree to fund S.P.E.A.M.B. In perpetuity.”
“Out of the question.”
“It’s just one year. We would both get what we want.”
“Contracted marriages require consummation,” he said, adding a leer for good measure.
Granger had gotten more attractive since their Hogwarts days, he would give her that much. Her jumper was atrocious, though. He had half a mind to burn it.
To his everlasting shock, she merely shrugged. “It’s just sex. I’ve had it before and I presume you have too.”
She was utterly serious. Draco stared at her and contemplated being married to her. She was irritating and he might make her promise to never wear that jumper again, but it was better than the alternative.
Draco would do just about anything to avoid being poor.
“You’re serious?”
“Completely.”
“Then congratulations, Granger. You've got yourself a husband.”

Marriage of convenience, touch her and you die, possessive, willing to give up everything for her. I mean how can you not love this.
The « 𝙀𝙫𝙚𝙣 𝙞𝙛 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙨 𝙬𝙚𝙧𝙚 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡 » made me scream
« “𝘼𝙛𝙩𝙚𝙧 𝙖𝙡𝙡, 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙢𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚.” » YES! 🦋
« “𝘿𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙤, 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙜𝙤 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙛𝙖𝙡𝙡 𝙞𝙣 𝙡𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙬𝙞𝙩𝙝 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚?” of course he did 😁
« 𝘽𝙚𝙘𝙖𝙪𝙨𝙚 𝙄 𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙩𝙚𝙘𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙚. » Swoon 🥰
« “𝙏𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙢𝙮 𝙜𝙞𝙧𝙡,” 𝙝𝙚 𝙜𝙧𝙤𝙬𝙡𝙚𝙙 » 🥵
« “𝘿𝙤𝙣’𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙙𝙖𝙧𝙚 𝙩𝙤𝙪𝙘𝙝 𝙢𝙮 𝙬𝙞𝙛𝙚,” 𝙝𝙚 𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙧𝙚𝙙. » I'm dead 💀😫😍
« 𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 𝙘𝙝𝙖𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙙 𝙤𝙪𝙧 𝙨𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢 𝙤𝙛 𝙜𝙤𝙫𝙚𝙧𝙣𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙩 𝙖𝙨 𝙖𝙣 𝙖𝙥𝙤𝙡𝙤𝙜𝙮. » Setting the bar high 🤭
All this just sums up the fic. I can't describe it any other way.

A marriage of convenience that you can read in one evening- love.

I was good with everything but the wizengamot seat. I still think he should have kept that

A cute, short, somewhat formulaic marriage of convenience fic made better by the fact that I love Dramione.

September 21, 2022I liked this one. I liked Draco growing into himself a bit.

It didn’t do a good job helping me see why they’re in love. There isn’t a real process there. They just live near each other. Then one night they cuddle. And they’re in love. It’s just missing the point of the story. Too instalove for me.

HawthorneWhisperer writing some of my favorite fics for not one but TWO fandoms (one we don't speak about...or just me) is one of the great joys of my life. I (we all) have been BLESSED.

Remember that one where Draco changed centuries of political legislature just to apologise to Hermione?
I loved this fic start to finish. Finished it in a few hours.
The writing was also top tier- the author’s humor was amazing and this was beautiful, elegant writing without it being too verbose. There was just enough tension with the threat to hermione’s life from Yaxley.
The pacing was perfect and none of the plot moments were over the top.
This is also one of the most accurate portrayals of Draco, I thought, grumpy in the morning, cunning and intelligent, prone to violence when those he loves are threatened but warm. He was snarky and unbending and tortured by his own Slytherin nature and yet so willing to bend for Hermione in the end.
“Draco didn't believe he would ever be a truly good man, but he would do his best to be a good man to her.”
This was a realistic and lovely falling in love after a forced marriage but Draco fell first and he fell harder.
I loved the warm moments between Draco and Harry and Draco and Neville.
“In the end, it came back to that.
It was the flowers.
The flowers, and Neville Fucking Longbottom.”
I loved how the author started with and ended with the flowers and Neville.

2.5 ! This was okay. I got bored quite a bit and felt like all the time skips were so unnecessary and confusing. I ended up skipping chapters towards the end but ended up going back and reading them.
The relationship was cute with all the cuddling but it lowkey was also so lacklustre and boring? Idk 😭😭
I’m tryna put the dot on why I didn’t like this fanfic that much like yh I listed the stuff above but there’s more. Yk what I think it was just rushed and didn’t actually delve into the relationship much like there was details missing and things mentioned but never shown. It needed show not tell. Anyways 😻

I absolutely loved this version of Draco. If you want a fluffy Dramione and a relatively short read for the genre this one was so good! Kept me entertained the entire time and even though I knew we were heading to a HEA I still found myself grinning at the conclusion.
Did it crush me like Manacled? No. But I stand by that it fit what I needed at the moment so it gets all five of my stars 🤷♀️

This was my least favorite fanfic so far. Although Draco and Hermione were cute together as always - they really didn’t seem like themselves. Which is kind of a nice change of pace sometimes but it stood out too much for me in a way I wasn’t a fan of.

Decepcionada, a fic tem uma das trops que eu mais gosto que é casamento de conveniência, mas não teve um desenvolvimento bom do relacionamento dos dramione, parece que o Draco se apaixonou pela esposa do nada.

Actually wish it was longer, felt a little rushed & could have more plot/details.
Cute happy ending & liked the marriage of convenience but again it could have had more

Cute but somewhat predictable marriage of convenience story. It is a little to short rushed for my taste.
