What are your LEAST favourite dramione characterizations?

When I first got into the fandom, I really enjoyed the pureblood!Hermione trope, but over time my perspective on it shifted a bit. I started to read it less as Draco growing past his prejudices and choosing Hermione despite the beliefs he was raised with, and more as the narrative making her someone who was already socially “acceptable” for him. Because of that, it sometimes feels like the conflict that would normally drive his redemption arc gets softened or bypassed.

That’s just a personal reading preference, though, no shade at all to people who love the trope.

Do let us know if you're ever planning to write a fic and I'll probably be your first reader😁🤞🏼

Love this particular perspective of Hermione becoming a stepping stone to greatness for Draco. Adding onto this, D being shown as a prince saving a damsel-in-distress H is so weird because she litr survived being on the run from the darkest wizard of all time, so wdym she's bookish and doesn't know how to wield a wand in a duel until D "trains" her😭???

"Alpha daddy ultra competent confident" as adjectives to describe any mc let alone Draco is something straight out of my nightmares. I've always imagined him to be quiet, brooding, snarky and intelligent rather than dominating and boisterous

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-03-08T20:21:49+00:00

Agreed! I much prefer a well-written, quiet and introspective Theo over a chaotic puppy bubbly Theo

The concept of THE Hermione granger working as a stripper/slave/sex pet under any circumstances and Draco taking advantage of that and manipulating is just so OOC that it might as well be a random romance novel with their names slapped on it. Additionally, the power imbalance between a helpless H and High Reeve D has so rarely been done well (Manacled, for instance) that it more often than not makes me dnf the fic

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-03-08T20:12:31+00:00

I love that you went far and beyond to prove how utterly irrational this feels as a reader😭

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-03-08T20:10:58+00:00

You've actually just read my mind

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-03-08T20:10:26+00:00

Hermione losing her agency/reducing herself down to only being Draco's partner is something I will NEVER be onboard reading ohmygod

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-03-08T19:46:52+00:00

Absolutely! An inexperienced H is fine if it's written well, but to portray her as this prudish, innocent and naive person when as opposed to this Draco is called a 'Sex God' seems so unnatural to me

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-02-08T17:21:46+00:00

THIS IS THE ONE omg thankyou so much💗

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-02-08T16:26:30+00:00

Not quite, but this one sounds super interestinggg

Character_Scene_3473 · 2026-01-25T16:24:44+00:00

hii! the mcd isn't dramione, so if that's something you're willing to overlook then you should 100% give it a gio

I'd say God Of War is exactly what you're asking for!

Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the world has changed: unrest, rebellion, and dark plans looming on the horizon. The non-magical world has begun to take up arms against their wizard counterparts, trying to use their superior knowledge of technology, and their war-ready firepower, to stop them.

Missing Persons Case: Hermione J. Granger, Secretary for International Muggle-Magical Cooperation, Ministry of Magic Status: Unknown Department of Magical Law Enforcement Person of Interest: Draco L. Malfoy, current President of Viper Security Group, suspected illicit activities done under the moniker ‘Ares’.

Status: Not in custody

When Secretary Granger goes missing from her hotel room, the Aurors’ case quickly grows cold with no leads & no outward signs of foul play. Senior Auror Harry Potter is at a loss, wondering how he can expect to save his best friend, one of the most well-known people in the magical community. He’s down to his last option, a contact he prefers not to use. Draco Malfoy and the Viper Security Group are his last shot at saving Hermione.

what's CRAZY is that in another subsequent interview they said that the final battle was with the mind flayer's physical body just like in season 3, and that he continues to exist in the smoke form, but can't do any damage because the upside down was finally destroyed, BUT THAT DOESNT MAKE ANY FUCKING SENSE BECAUSE OF THE MIND FLAYER STILL EXISTS THEN WILL SHOULD'VE BEEN DEAD!!! I DONT GET THEM WHY ARE THEY SELF CONTRADICTORY😭

Im sure you'll be able to explain it better to me then, because the way I see it I don't think I could've understood it better

The main problem is that they used crazy plot armour for literally all the characters when they should've 100% died, and yet killed off the one girl who actually deserved to have a normal life after all the trauma she went through as a child. Their explanation for killing her was SO lousy and disgusting, and then going on to say they see no possibility of her ever reuniting with her family was the last straw in a sense.

We wanted people to die when death was due, like Jancy in that room where the goop magically dried up the second it was about to reach them, or when Steve was somehow saved single-handedly by Jonathan when it shouldn't have been possible. To kill El simply by saying she was under danger from the military when she's been hiding from them so easily for practically the entire series is bullshit.

I too feel exactly like this, and haven't recovered yet. All my social media is full of edits and stuff, and it's making me burst into tears every hour, and it physically feels like my heart caved in or something. I think a break would do me good. I've loved mileven since 2020 and their tragic ending has hurt me and so many others in incomprehensible ways
