“In the middle of the night, when he’s plagued by nightmares of the hell his father put him through, Hermione holds him afterwards, murmuring softly that he’s a good man, that he’s not his father, that she wouldn’t do this with anyone else.

Sometimes, he wonders if it’s as much of an incantation for her as it is for him, and if she says the words enough time, they’ll magically become true.”

yes, I'm self-aware thank you

Dramione power dynamics are my favorite thing in the world. The S M I R K I N G

“What if my writing isn’t good enough” write it out of spite (for those negative thoughts) because there is something called improvement which can only be achieved by, you guessed it, writing

part 2: after the game

“i barely clipped him”

“you intentionally shoved him, draco!”

Every once in a while, I really want to read Drarry but I’m always worried that then there will be Ronmione in the background and I just can’t handle it.

Please send help. I can’t stop doodling the Lionheart kids. @greenerteacups

It’s so funny how reading Harry Potter fanfic has given me so much more knowledge about the lore than just reading the books. I’m sure I’m not the only person who’s brought this up but it’s new information to me so I’m sharing it lol.

But one thing that’s crazy to me is that canonically, Hermione has a wand with a dragon heartstring core, which is a wand core that turns easily to the Dark Arts. Of course that doesn’t mean she’s necessarily a baddie but it does imply that she’s capable of it. Meanwhile, Draco canonically has a wand with a unicorn hair core, which doesn’t easily turn to the Dark Arts. Which I feel implies that he’s capable of being good. Or at the very least, he wouldn’t likely be a baddie without outside intervention which…..there’s plenty of that in his life. It makes sense that they could meet in the middle, in the grey.

Idk it’s just interesting to think about when reading Dramione. Like those little details imply that Hermione has capabilities to be darker and Malfoy has capabilities to be lighter. And like…….Miss R*wling wrote that herself it’s not fanon. Every time I see people hating on Dramione I can’t help but be like, it’s genuinely not that crazy. Most fanfics don’t even have to stretch too far from canon to make the romance work. Idk, I just feel very strongly about this pairing and I hate when people are rude about disliking it.
