Ten out of Ten

Rate this book
"On a scale of one to ten, how comfortable would you say you are with me physically?" she asked.

"Zero."

Hermione's lips pursed in annoyance because she really should have seen that coming. How charming that the extent of his arseholery could still surprise her.

In which Hermione is determined to find a loophole to free her from a forced marriage with Draco Malfoy. But with only two weeks until they are legally required to consummate, it would be irresponsible not to prepare for every contingency.

My goodness did I love this. I quite literally could not stop reading it and did so in one sitting (actually rare for me; I'm a relatively slow reader!)

A truly delightful marriage-law fic that had me grinning like an idiot.

And once the spice hits? SOLD.

TW: For those extra sensitive to 'repopulation efforts' and everything that entails, especially in the wake of Roe v Wade overturned, you might want to skip this one for now. No one gets pregnant and the characters are part resigned to their fate, part hopeful that they'll be just fine. It is definitely a HEA but I thought I'd throw this in here juuuuust in case xx

"Unless the Ministry was willing to give them a joint cell in Azkaban, their situation had just been upgraded from fuck or prison to fuck or die."

Marriage Law fic. 5/5.
Smut is A+, tension is delectable

Ummmm okay, I see you Dirty-Talking Draco. I absolutely loved this!!!! I’m such a sucker for arranged marriage, My Wife, possessiveness, magic, BONDS, all of the things! It’s after the war, and arranged marriages are the duty of citizens, as well as consummation and procreation, of course. But Hermione Granger is NOT prepared to be matched with Draco Malfoy. Nor is he, to be frank. But the two must cohabitate, and they’re bound by law to consummate their marriage within fourteen days. Oh, and Malfoy magic adds just a few little stipulations to that…

So yes, this was lovely and FUNNY and delicious…Malfoy and his mouth, ladies and gentlemen…that’s what it’s all about.

OH MY GOD THIS WAS GREAT!! 😭🫶🏼 I had high hopes for this one after reading and loving ‘Meet Your Match’ and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I loved this version of draco and Hermione, I loved the concept, I loved the build up and man did I love the payout😉 I wish it was longer because I would have loved to see their wedding, them getting pregnant, having a family and see where their life and love took them.

This unfortunately was not 10/10. There was nothing of substance. Maybe I misread bc someone had described this as the same caliber as manacled which honestly is the most disrespectful association I’ve ever seen/heard

3.5✨

forced proximity has always been up there on my top fav tropes, but this. i never rlly thought of it this way n cant say it wasnt genius (its rlly not, its pretty predictable but i somehow didnt see it coming)

“Can’t you just lighten up? For once in your goddamn life?”
“No, I can’t!” she shouted. “I’m facing Azkaban over this!”
“You’re not going to Azkaban, Granger.”
“I very well might!” she said, now feeling quite hysterical. He hadn’t reacted at all like she’d hoped he would. If he wasn’t willing to help her work up to it, then they were both absolutely fucked. She pressed on, letting her voice climb. “And if I’m getting sentenced to prison, I’d much rather it be because we took a stand as conscientious objectors and not because we can’t fuck properly!”
“Oh, I can fuck you properly!” he yelled, matching her tone. He pushed off the counter toward her. “And you’ll like it!”
“I don’t just need to like it, Malfoy! I need to come!”
“And you will!” he screamed. “I’ll make you come if it’s the last thing I do!”
“Great!” She shoved past him towards the door.“Perfect!” he yelled after her.
“Looking forward to it!” she screamed from the hallway.
“Can’t wait!” floated around the corner.
Hermione stopped at the foot of the stairs, red-faced and panting, replaying what she’d just said. She charged back into the kitchen. “I didn’t mean that last part!” she shouted.
“Me neither!” Malfoy yelled, looking every bit as manic as she felt.
“And I forgot my coffee!”
“Fine!” He stormed past her into the hallway and out the back door.
Hermione flipped the sink tap to cold and stuck her face under the stream.


in the end my feeling wasnt as strong seeing as i was ab to give this a solid 4. the last 30% or so was pure smut n didnt evoke that much emotion outta me. it only make sense yes, and the story itself was only in the span 2 weeks of their relationship, i rlly shoudnve expected anything more

But when she rounded the corner to the attached bathroom, she was brought up short by what she saw. Because, indeed, Draco Malfoy was using an electric hair dryer… on his face?
He was clothed in his usual uniform of white shirt and black trousers, and his hair was dry. But his head was tilted back and his eyes closed in apparent rapture as he directed the air over his face. It was such an odd and somehow strangely intimate display that Hermione couldn’t tear her eyes away. As she watched, he directed the air down the length of each of his arms and over his chest and stomach. He seemed so pleased by the sensation that he didn’t even look angry when he caught sight of her watching in the mirror.
“Look at this!” he shouted over the noise of the fan’s motor. “Like a combined drying and warming charm! But prolonged!”


irrelevant but oh this scene. i could just hear the tiktok edits ’Girl, put your records on, tell me your favorite song. You go ahead, let your hair down. Sapphire and faded jeans. I hope you get your dreams. Just go ahead, let your hair dowwwnn.’

overall was mostly domestic fluff and a tad too many smut for me. light, not exactly a funny one but still fun

3.5 ⭐️

Фанфік по Драміоні, в якому герої мають одружитися через новий закон Міністерства Магії. Протягом двох тижнів ми будемо спостерігати за розвитком їх відносин.

Для мене фанфіки стали найкращим спасінням від нечитуна - в сюжет не потрібно заглиблюватися, бо основа його вже добре знайома, за взаємодією між персонажами цікаво спостерігати, тож це ідеальні історії коли тобі від слова ЗОВСІМ не хочеться брати книгу до рук. А ще, інколи в них (деяких) більше логіки, чим у епілозі оригіналу, як на мене😆

Що саме до цієї невеликої історії, то я не бачу в героях саме Герміону і Драко, але все ж це був місцями дотепний ромком. Тут взагалі не буде жодних рефлексій про минули і зробленні вибори, а лише взаємодія між двома персонажами на два тижні змушенними бути один з одним.

Вердикт. Це нічим не примітна історія, але місцями доволі весела. З головною задачею перемогти нечитун вона добре впоралася 🙂

it was perfection.

it was short but definitely one of the best dramione fanfic I read so far.
I literally could not put it down, not even when my eyes started to hurt from exhaustion.

Short, quick paced novella focusing on the forced domestic living arrangements of Draco and Hermione. They hated each other so much in the first few chapters snd stayed away from one another keeping interactions at minimal. After some meals and many misunderstandings in hermione’s muggle house later, they found each other attractive. While reading this, it felt more like it occurred over the course of a couple of months rather than in days. A longer time span examining both characters’ background and feelings could be wonderful.

⚡️9 3/4 out of 10

Never thought I’d be reading Dramonie fan fiction - and enjoy it.

This was a fast paced and at times sweet read. Some of the themes and throwbacks to the original series was well thought out and a unique twist on romance

📚 enemies to lovers
📚 Hermione & Draco fan fix
📚 forced marriages
📚 forced proximity
📚 slow burn

He rolled his eyes. “It’s perfectly fine to be second best sometimes,” he said.
Gemma glanced back over her shoulder, twisting on the swing as though she’d forgotten he was there. “Were you ever second best?” He nodded.
“Who was first best?”
Hermione snorted a laugh as Malfoy pasted on a placid smile.
“My wonderful wife, of course.”


Post-war, Hermione and Draco are forced into marriage by the Ministry, the goal being to create couples and produce children. Any refusal, or failure to consummate the marriage, would result in a twenty-year sentence in Azkaban. Gradually, they try to find a way to deal with the situation.

It was a pretty good read overall. I really enjoyed it.
At first, I wasn’t particularly convinced, since the early chapters are quite short. But the further I read, the longer the chapters became and the more the relationship between Hermione and Draco developed.

They were honestly adorable, and I really liked the way their relationship slowly grew.

One of the best moments was seeing Draco discover Hermione’s world and learn more about it. It was funny and really sweet.

The one negative point I’d mention is that towards the end, it becomes almost entirely focused on them having sex. Even if that fits with the story’s progression, I would have liked to see more happening between them—more outings, dates, confessions, just more in general.

That being said, if you’re looking for something light to read, this fanfiction will be a good fit for you.


— Quotes

“Cold feet?” he asked with mock sympathy. “Fuck you,” she snapped. He smirked. “All in good time, love.” “Do not call me that,” she seethed. “Sorry. Wife,” he corrected.

She straightened her shoulders. “On a scale of one to ten, how comfortable would you say you are with me physically?” “Zero.”

“And if I’m getting sentenced to prison, I’d much rather it be because we took a stand as conscientious objectors and not because we can’t fuck properly!” “Oh, I can fuck you properly!” he yelled, matching her tone. He pushed off the counter toward her. “And you’ll like it!”

But when she rounded the corner to the attached bathroom, she was brought up short by what she saw. Because, indeed, Draco Malfoy was using an electric hair dryer… on his face?

“Oh. Why? What’s it about?” “Well, this couple has to rescue a bunch of Dalmatians because the villain is a fashion designer who wants to kill the puppies and make coats out of them.” “What the fuck?” Malfoy looked horrified.

“What if I had come out naked?” she demanded. He chuckled and glanced over at her for the first time. “If only. I may have led a privileged life, but I’ve never been a lucky person.”

“No killing anyone.” “No promises,” he grumbled.
“These flowers remind me of all my favourite things about you. “Beautiful.” Kiss. “Wild.” Kiss. “Pest.” Kiss. “Stubborn.” Kiss. He lifted his head to look her in the eye. “Hard to kill.”

Ten out of Ten was a fun and intriguing take on the forced marriage trope, delivering sharp wit, slow-burning tension, and emotional depth in equal measure. Hermione and Draco’s dynamic was pitch-perfect—full of stubborn clashes, begrudging cooperation, and a simmering undercurrent of something more. Their banter was sharp, and Draco’s signature sarcasm made for some truly entertaining moments.
What made this fic stand out was its clever pacing and thoughtful character development. Hermione’s determination to outsmart the system was both in-character and engaging, while Draco’s reluctant vulnerability added layers to their evolving relationship. The countdown to the consummation deadline added a steady feeling of urgency, making every interaction more charged.
While some parts could have been explored in more depth, this was definitely gripping and filled with the kind of tension that keeps readers hooked. A must-read for Dramione fans who love smart writing, emotional complexity, and a well-executed forced proximity romance.

I adored this! I wanted a lighter, shorter fic since the last ones I have read were all a million pages (give or take) and Ten out of Ten delivered. It’s fast paced and sucks you in right away. I was giggling, squealing and sweating. The banter between the two of them was so fun and the spice was 😮‍💨 🔥

-marriage law
-forced proximity
-AMAZING tension

Cute short dramione a little fast paced on the relationship but given they were under a time constraint I can see why the author progressed their relationship this way. A nice cleanser during a reading slump. Everything you want out of a dramione.
