A fan fiction which gave me an ending worthy than the original coupling! I have always wondered why Hermione was with Ron when I find her better off with Harry. This fanfic gave me a different perspective though and Dramione it is!!!

I've totally enjoyed the plot filled with many ups and downs, so entertaining especially when they were in Malfoy Manor! The slow pace made me so anxious, with Draco being so dense that I feel like giving him a push! I loved the ending, predictable yet so lovingly satisfying!

This fanfic totally reminds me of when I was reading Fifty Shades of Grey. Of course, that was poorly written but the gist of it, the feels whilst reading it was the same! Only difference is this Draco fanfic was well written and well explored, making it a breeze to read through even though it was a thick tome! I heard the author has been scouted to publish this book soon, with a change of names, etc. I do hope it is as good, if not better than this one :-)

Thanks to 2 Dramione fans who made sure I read this! I'm sooo sold!
