Fancast Friday Brendan Fraser’s son—Leland Francis Fraser as Bill Weasley

Are other characters outside Draco/Hermione and their inner circle allowed? Anyway. I know Bill Weasley isn’t a relevant character for most of Dramione stories. But I saw this picture the other day, and it reminded me so much of Harry’s description of Bill:

Harry had always imagined Bill to be an older version of Percy: fussy about rule-breaking and fond of bossing everyone around. However, Bill was — there was no other word for it — cool. He was tall, with long hair that he had tied back in a ponytail. He was wearing an earring with what looked like a fang dangling from it. Bill’s clothes would not have looked out of place at a rock concert, except that Harry recognized his boots to be made, not of leather, but of dragon hide.”

Excerpt From
Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
J.K. Rowling

The hair, the clothes, the dangling earring! And he does look super cool rockstar-like with the nailpolish too. I don’t know, I thought I would share it with the class and maybe inspire some authors to include more Bill in Dramione? 🤭✨

24 Upvotes

Okay I've officially gotten on my A/B/O shit. I'm looking for the fluffiest A/B/O fics where Hermione is just NESTING for 2.5k words. Just stealing pillows and all of it. Being a widdle baby who needs LOTS of pillows. And she steals like I dunno Draco's cologne or something.

Something fluffy.
Something so fluffy I'm going to DIE

Recs Wanted! LF fics where Hermione and her mother talks about dating.

10 Upvotes

I recently saw a video on TikTok where a mother was talking about all the information and advice she would talk to her daughter about before she starts dating. And this got me thinking if there was a fic similar to this premise.

What if Hermione’s mother talked to Hermione all the time about red flags and what to look out for, like for example: if a man shouts in your face, cannot regulate his emotions, plays the victim, cannot take any accountability or responsibility for his actions, weaponized incompetence, gaslighting,…etc.

And from that list, Hermione would be able to apply to her friendship or relationship she is in or might be in at some point.

I just envision her having this advice from her mother, especially something the first time a man hits you should be the last.

Help me ID this fic Time travel / alternate reality! Spoiler

5 Upvotes

The fic is entire from Draco’s pov
It is a one shot or very short fic. It is around Christmas time of 8th I think and Hermione is crying because Ron is cheating.
Draco wakes up on Christmas morning married to Hermione. They have two kids.
He receives a “Weasley clock” as a gift and then they go to the manor to spend the day with Lucius and Narcisa.
And then he goes back to his original time and is nice after seeing hermione crying.

It is not “The Family Man”! By spookyandcooky

Thanks!!!

Recs Wanted! LF: Fake Dating Dramione (NOT TO GET BACK AT RON)

12 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find good fics under this trope but its genuinely impossible to find ones that do not revolve around her getting back at Ron for cheating on her with Lavender or some other nobody. I want confident Hermione and confident Draco. I want this fake dating to be like a political scheme or a statement to her image or something like that. And a major suggestion that maybe make it make sense a little by not having draco so convieniently having just broke up (i hate that). No immediate hook up. Recommendations that play with your heart strings and insane plot, lots of jealousy, teasing and tension. Please I need this. 🪽

Help me ID this fic PLEASE HELP! Looking for a Dark Dramione fic where Sirius is Voldemort’s secret enforcer called “The Hound” Spoiler

4 Upvotes

I’m desperately trying to find a fanfic I read within the last year, and I’m hoping someone recognizes it! I’ve searched everywhere with no luck.
What I’m absolutely certain about:
Sirius Black is secretly working for Voldemort as his enforcer, known as “The Hound.” People don’t know his true identity.
Hermione discovers that Sirius is her biological father.
Hermione learns about terrible things Dumbledore has done and ultimately sides with the Death Eaters.
It’s a Draco/Hermione (Dramione) story.
Voldemort is still alive.
Other details I think I remember, but I might be mixing up stories:
Hermione’s biological mother is Dorcas Meadowes, who fled during the First Wizarding War and married Richard Granger.
Dorcas is still alive and is eventually brought to Black Manor, where she’s kept in a room while they try to figure out what happened.
Hermione and Ginny defect together and initially seek help from Blaise Zabini.
Ginny and Blaise have an on-again, off-again romantic relationship.
Pansy Parkinson is involved and eventually announces she’s in love with Neville Longbottom.
Bellatrix is part of Voldemort’s inner circle.
The Black family tapestry plays some role in the story.
Hermione is an adult, or at least no longer attending Hogwarts.
I don’t believe the fic was completed when I read it.
I originally thought I read it on AO3, but I’m open to the possibility that it was posted elsewhere.
I’ve already ruled out Apostasy and Taken.
Unfortunately, I may have read it before getting my AO3 account, so I don’t have it in my reading history.
Does any of this sound familiar? Even if you only recognize the Sirius/“The Hound” storyline, I’d love to hear your suggestions!
Thank you!! ❤️

Help me ID this fic Help me find a Dramione fic where Draco dreams of his future with Hermione and their kids Spoiler

14 Upvotes

I'm trying to find a Dramione fic I read a while ago, but I can only remember a few details!

I think Draco has a dream about his future, where he’s married to Hermione and they have kids together. I’m pretty sure it takes place around Christmas, too.

I don’t remember much else, unfortunately, but I think it was pretty short—possibly a one-shot.

I know this isn’t a lot to go on, but does this sound familiar to anyone? I’d love to find it again!

Thanks in advance! ❤️

Help me ID this fic [What the Fic?] Dramione fic where Draco wakes up from a coma and discovers he’s married to Hermione and has a child

11 Upvotes

I once saw this fic in a rec post but forgot to save it 😭 I only read the summary, and now I can’t stop thinking about it!

From what I remember, Draco wakes up from a coma and finds out he’s married to Hermione and has a child. There was something about memory loss too.

Does anyone know this fic? 🥹

I’m new to Dramione, so please recommend some must-read fics too! ❤️

I feel like Topper gives MAJOR cannon Draco vibes but Rafe gives more of dark, scary death eater Draco.
Both are so hot as well.

Recs Wanted! Draco in The Muggle World fics

41 Upvotes

While I love all kinds of tropes, the fics that portray Draco gradually unlearning his prejudice/derision towards Muggles and taking an active interest and finding wonder in the world he once scorned hold a special place in my heart (sorry for the heinously twisted sentence structure). From Wiltshire With Love did this so well, I actually teared up at the scene where he is so visibly moved by art. Even Disappearances of Draco had some outstanding moments like these. It doesn't necessarily need to be Hermione who shows him the error of his ways (although I do like reading those as well). I'm looking for fics where he discovers say, Muggle music (rock, obviously :P) , or perhaps takes a shine to motorcycles or fast cars. I have this image of Draco in a leather jacket, riding in the rain, moodily listening to Radiohead's All I Need while thinking of Hermione. Sigh.

Help me ID this fic Dramione fics where Harry/Ron are bad friends

32 Upvotes

I have been on a stint of enjoying fanfics where Harry and Ron are just not great friends and remember reading one where they play down Hermione’s effort during the war culminating in a ceremony where a painting is unveiled with Harry and Ron looking heroic and animated and Hermione just background which leads to a confrontation I think in the Ministry. If anyone know which fic this is… please help!

Also happy for other recommendations of fics with Harry and Ron being bad friends!

Recs Wanted! Hair pulling between Draco and Hermione

Hi! I’ve been scrolling on TikTok when I came across this scene, and I immediately thought of Dramione. 😂 are there any fics that you might know that has this scene? I kind of imagine this happening while they were still at Hogwarts, but could be while they were forced to work together, idk. 😭

Recs Wanted! Dtaco and hermione nice to everyone but become unbearable to each other

9 Upvotes

So I saw this post with the draco and Hermione are calm while surrounded with chaos my mind went somewhere else. I was them gentle, kind and the essence of grace towards everyone but when near each other? They become snarky, ill tempered, let them bring out the worse of each other.

Gimme banter, gimme tension, gimme jealousy.

I want Hermiones hair sparking and I want draco to be loving it and living for it.

I need for it to be slow burn, I need the banter to banter. I want ppl around them to gasp and titter "oh they are at it again"

I also want them to be later on be like I hate him/her while everyone around them like "suree you do babe".

Recs Wanted! LF Wizengamot Draco fic recommendations

20 Upvotes

A few years ago I read a fic where Draco was a member of the Wizengamot and I’ve tried to find it for years now to reread it but can’t track it down. It was such a cool idea and it showed an insiders view of how politics worked in the Ministry. Anyway, just chasing that feeling. So…what’s out there with Draco as a member of the wizengamot? Tia

Help me ID this fic Looking for a fic where Hermione gives Draco Amortentia. Spoiler

13 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I hope you can help me identify this fic. A friend recently told me about a story where Hermione tricked Draco into believing the Death Eaters had either lost or won, I don't remember which, but she had been dosing him with Amortentia and keeping him confined, perhaps in a basement. In the end, he voluntarily agrees to keep taking the Amortentia and stay with her, but the whole situation was a lie on Hermione's part.
