... oKAY JUST NO!

NoT hAppEnInG.

i'm SoRrY but I just don't see it at all.

So from being on this app and having been a Potterhead for a long time, one thing has become VERY clear to me. A large part of the fandom ships Dramione. And sorry but I don't. *cough* 

This has literally zero bases or room for existence in the canon, and anyone arguing otherwise wasn't paying attention. Draco was looking forward to Hermione's death as early as the second year. Sure, he got over that in the end, but if your bar for a romantic pairing is "he no longer wants to kill me", you really need to sort your priorities out.

There's nothing in common and zero respect, but it could force them to grow and change. Draco is in pretty much all the same classes as the trio in book 6, which tells me he's smart. They might have some intellectual competition going, and in finding her attractive Draco would have to confront a lot of the dogmas he grew up with. It's engaging stuff to read about... From his side. She gets nothing from it, really, but living with the stigma from his parents and etc if it ever grows serious. I can believe the Malfoys would step away from the most radical views on muggle-borns, but not that they'd like having her in the family or respect her much. I can understand some of the appeals in the pairing such as badboyxgoodgirl, though I never liked it (as I said, I fail to see what Hermione could get from it or how it'd help her grow or how it'd fulfil her apart from possible physically). And Hermione isn't a bloody Redemption Ark for him. She can't change him or make him "better". 

I would not have wanted this nor did the plot would do any justification to this pairing. The only justification would be the oh so clichéd, 'he bullies her coz he likes her'. Hermione hated Draco and for reasons good and evident enough. Draco, it could have been possible that he admired her intelligence and bravery but that was it, nothing else. And Draco bullied, watched Hermione get tortured, wished death upon her, and called her slurs. And don't forget Hermione fricken PUNCHED Draco in the face in POA. Talk about an abusive relationship. :/ 

And Ron (don't you, yes you reading this, dare say that he was abusive towards Hermione because he was not!) was never so rude and abusive towards Hermione. It was more in the movies, how people think Ron was really mean to her, but that was just in the movies. In the books, not one bit. And even if he was a little mean, he said sorry in the end! 

Draco never apologised, not even when they were adults. 

It's never gonna happen! It would have been really problematic if J. K wrote this way. Begs belief. 0/10.

Deeply problematic, feeds the old tropes of "if he bullies you, it means he LIKES you," and "if you're a good enough girl, you can REDEEM the bad boy - and indeed it's your duty to do so" that a lot of girls grow up internalizing and then end up in abusive relationships. Draco is never kind to Hermione. They are never friends. They don't show affection for each other, they don't willingly spend time together, he's awful to her- and he has been raised since birth to believe people like her are inherently inferior to him and deserve to die or at best be enslaved. That kind of upbringing is not at all easily overcome. Theirs would not under any reasonable interpretation be a healthy relationship, unless he changed so drastically as to no longer be Draco, and I find that both 1) implausible, and 2) aggravating. If you're going to borrow an author's characters, at least have the grace not to distort them beyond all recognition. 0/10, possibly -100/10.

Honestly, I would rather kill my self with a rusty spike than read this Dramione fanfiction abomination. ._.

I'd put Dramione last on the 'top-ranking ships in the entire world'. If people enjoy reading it or writing it, then that's fine, but admit it, you are a hypocrite if you are fine with Dramione but hate Romione. Draco was horrible to Hermione. At least when Ron was being mean to Hermione, it didn't fall under her blood status or house.

"I hope the next one dies and it's Granger. Nobody asked your opinion you filthy mudblood. I want to join a cult that would massacre people like her. I also think her friends are a bunch of lowlifes." I can practically feel the love radiating from these sentences. ._. That was sarcasm if you didn't know...

It seems to me that more people ship Draco/Hermione and Snape/Hermione nowadays. :c I hope the fuck not. Personally, I dislike those ships, but I also think shipping wars are stupid. People can ship whoever they like.

Anyway, what it boils down to is that the massive Dramione fan-base plus the moderately large Snamione fan-base plus the Harmony fan-base (which is bigger than you probably think it is) all together probably outnumber the Romione fan-base. So Romione probably isn't quite as popular as you think it is. :c

Draco and Hermione: in the words of Michael from the Office "NO GOD! NO GOD PLEASE NO! NO, NO, NOOOOO!" This has an easy -1,0000.

Oh, and people think, Dramione fans actually, that they're like Hermione. It's funny how people pretend to be like Hermione and say that they can't stand people like Ron and would prefer someone more like Draco. Honestly, what gives! Ron and Hermione are perfect for each other. Dramione is only possible if he uses a love potion or Imperius curse on her, which he would never.

It's just plain hateful. Draco hates Hermione, Hermione hates Draco. While Harry and Ron quarrel with Hermione, at least they can stay friends, at least they are similar in experiences and goals and ideology enough to have a friendship. Not enough for a relationship, but at least no loathing. Hermione and Draco can't stand each other and hate all that each other loves. It would never happen.

No points. Really, you are pairing a fantastic normal human being with a nazi that doesn't even know her given name. You really have a problem thinking being nazi is sexy. :/ It's like an SS member dating/marrying a Jew. Unless Draco gets a personality transplant there's no way this could ever happen. - 0/100000

I mean Draco and Hermione don't make sense. Draco isn't teasing Hermione when he calls her mudblood, he's bullying her and while he is clearly bothered by the fact that Bellatrix is torturing Hermione he doesn't really try to stop it. He doesn't scream Hermione's name like Ron does. He and Hermione were two of the top students in their year and were constantly competing- remember in the Chamber of Secrets in Burgin and Burkes when Draco is whining to his dad about how Hermione beat him in every subject? If he liked Hermione he would have praised her but he didn't and claimed it was because the teachers all had Hermione as their favourite and not him.

So I know what you guys are wondering: if you don't ship Dramione who do you ship Draco and Hermione with?

I ship Draco with Harry. Yes, I ship Drarry.

So fuck you Dramione shippers but Drarry's OTP and is the best-damned ship in the world.

And here is why I ship Drarry... (or you can literally stop being a lazy ass and find the chapter/page in this book which is 'Drarry'.) While Draco wasn't orphaned he was raised in a family that didn't care for him- his father abused him and his mother was a bystander. Harry was raised similarly- Uncle Vernon often punished him and Dudley bullied him while Aunt Petunia stood by and did nothing. They already have a connection in knowing what it's like to be alone. Also with Harry in his life, Draco would have realized it is alright and often necessary to make difficult decisions and you can't let other people's opinions impact your choices- sometimes you have to do something not because it's easy but because it's the right thing to do. Draco would have shown Harry that not all Slytherins are evil and I think we would have seen a better side of him with Harry, while if Draco was with Hermione he would be too ruthless and competitive only highlighting his negative qualities even more.

Not only that he doesn't respect her, but he also used to bully her too! Time to Time! When he, again and again, repeat that she was a disgrace and when he used to bully her friends too! Many people say he was a child and all, but I really think he knows exactly what he was saying! As a child, he has that audacity to say that he is superior so we can think of his thinking as an adult! He always tries to show her that he is inferior to her! I mean how come they can be in love!!? I just fail to understand!🤔

Well according to me or according to their personalities, I can't see a chance for Hermione and Draco to be friends! Alright, somehow we'll imagine they became friends, now? Can Malfoy suddenly change all his thoughts about pure-bloods and all or Hermione suddenly develop respect for him or vice versa? I don't think so!

When there is not even a chance of friendship, how can they be lovers !? 

And I really think that most, most of the people ship Dramione just because their roles are played by Tom and Emma and Emma had a crush on Tom when she was 10-12 yrs old! Also, the fact that they're both very attractive people. I don't think it will be just to the characters if we mix them with the actors (just a thought !) And although J.K.Rowling chose these actors to play the roles, they don't exactly look like what the Characters would really look like. Hermione had buck teeth, and was kind of a nerd so I doubt she was pretty like Emma Watson. But who am I to talk? Draco's complexion was very pointy to Harry, and yes, he was handsome as Harry had mentioned a lot during the books, but he would still look different from Tom Felton. They're both different people!

Do you really think that Hermione would be happy with a guy who's given her crap almost her whole entire school career just because she's a Muggleborn? She deserves better than Draco. And Draco. I don't think he would even like to be caught with a Muggleborn tbh. He loathes Hermione. (*I know he changed*) Hermione fluffin' punched him in the face! (*You go, Hermione!*) But even if Hermione hasn't done a heck a lot of bad things to him, I still feel that Draco deserves better. This is where Romione comes in, and Drarry. 

Gosh, guys. Do you really believe that Draco and Hermione would actually get together? I know that it's only imagination, but still. They can't even stand each other. I'm pretty sure that's not a good relationship. And like I said earlier, they hate each other. I can't even think of those two turnings that hatred into love!

Would you date someone who constantly calls you a Mudblood? I didn't think so. It would be unbelievable if Hermione got together with Draco. And Draco. Ugh. Hermione was friends with Ron. Hermione punched Draco in the face. I don't think Draco would ever get together with her.

Draco was a bigoted bully who hated Hermione's kind. He looked down on her as scum because she was muggle-born. He constantly insulted her and called her mudblood. He enthusiastically wished she would be killed by the basilisk. 

He was enthusiastic about becoming a Death Eater and his assignment of killing Dumbledore. We're shown him boasting about it to his friends in his train compartment. The fact that he gradually grew uncomfortable with his assignment is to his credit but it doesn't change the fact that he was cruel enough to be enthusiastic about it in the first place. He wasn't an evil person and he wasn't as evil as he hyped himself, but he was not a good person. He was bigoted against basically everyone from muggle-borns to half-breeds to werewolves. He was cruel enough to wish death upon those he didn't like and he was cruel enough to make two attempts on Dumbledore's life. His upbringing mitigates and explains the person he was, but it doesn't change who he was.

Sure Draco changed, but there's nothing to indicate Draco and Hermione being compatible in the first place. It would take quite a bit for Draco to fully get rid of his prejudices. Maybe it's understandable that people ship the reformed Draco and Hermione but it's also just as understandable (probably even more understandable) for people not to ship them too. Another major reason people don't ship Hermione with Draco is that they already ship her with people like Ron or Harry (mostly Ron) after finding her to be compatible with them.

He stood by when she was being tortured without objecting in any way as far as I can see. He tried to kill her on several occasions, usually when she was with Harry. He cursed her several times, and although one of those times turned out well for her, with her teeth, the rest sucked. He constantly belittled her, and abused her. He couldn't stand that she was smarter than he was while being inferior. That sort of relationship would be miserable for both parties.

Even though he decided he didn't want to be evil, there is no indication that he wasn't still convinced of pureblood superiority. At least not in the books. You can be anti murder and still not a nice person you know. The only reason anyone thinks they'd even go together is that the actors were both much more attractive than Rupert Grint. At least by some standards. This would be a terrible position to put Hermione in, a situation where she is abused constantly by an insecure man and sticks around...? She'd have to be a lot less intelligent than the beautiful girl we get to know.

Of course, there is proof of this ship but with Tom Felton and Emma Watson. Most people ship them together because they were the 'cutest' in the cast. Others ship this because of something Emma Watson said in an interview, admitting her crush on Tom Felton when she was eleven years old. Tom Felton replied by saying she was like a friend to him, although behind the scenes he jokes around with her a lot. The Tom Felton ship with Emma Watson makes more sense than Dramione. 

We all know Emma Watson had a very small crush on Tom Felton back when she was thirteen, so fans blew that tiny thing way out of proportion. She's long-over him now and based on the interview, it seemed like the little sparked "crush" was very brief and a bit confusing to her. Thing is, it's that Tom has said multiple times in interviews that he only sees Emma Watson as a friend, and they've remained friends ever since the franchise. So yeah it's a bit weird how Dramione is portrayed but fans seem to somehow intertwine the characters Draco and Hermione-who, by the way, have a toxic enemy based relationship so it doesn't even make sense-with the actor and actress Tom Felton, and Emma Watson. The characters have zero chemistry, I can name enough times where Drarry was more likely to happen than Dramione. 

For example in Draco's second year, he says he hopes Granger is the next target in the chamber of secrets. He also uses the racial term "Mud-Blood" on numerous occasions and it seems like he doesn't care if he makes Hermione cry. The first red flag at a crack ship was the toxic verbal abusive behaviour between the two characters. The second is the third year where Hermione goes as far as to physically punch Draco's nose, not caring if she possibly could've broken it. The second to many red flags, the physical abusive aspect. If Draco and Hermione got together, they would end up like one of those abusive couples in my opinion. 

If it wasn't toxic first, second, or third, then the fourth year was no easy feat what with Draco targetting Harry and his friends a lot more in this year cuz of the tournament. So attempted sabotage on Hermione's best friends life is another red flag on her part. Let's not forget their fifth year when the blonde idiot sides with Umbridge and doesn't seem to mind Umbridges' methods in torturing Harry, Ron, and Hermione. Uh-can I just??-Yep I'm doing it, folks. Yeah, I'm just gonna add another Red Flag. 

Sixth Year is an interesting one cuz Draco kinda distanced himself from bullying the trio to focus on his task. Despite this, however, Harry continues to stalk Draco and Hermione seems to be actively showing her FEELINGS towards one certain RON WEASLEY this boy is so dumb to not realize it I swear... 

But anyway! Because of Hermione leaning towards Ron, any possible feelings for Draco would never have occurred cuz classic chicken boi strikes again with his stupid yet Chess-Smart charm and wins all the ladies-ahem Ms. Brown he don't want you and neither does Hermione so step out of their cannon picture. So... a red flag would be that Harry's stalking Draco-hoo boy he's obsessed but we excuse it cuz Draco's "up to something". And I'm sure that even if Draco refused the dark mark and somehow managed to survive and retreat to Hogwarts-Harry would find some excuse to stalk Draco cuz they've had one of those Toxic yet Fierce relationships where they are just always obsessed with one another. 

Draco: 'climbs tree just to insult Harry' ....... 

Harry: 'stalks Draco under the cloak of invisibility and also tends to watch Draco's name on the map every night before bed' ..... 

UHUH TELL ME THAT AIN'T PROOF ENOUGH! The red flag is that Draco's taken off the market by Harry's notable interest in an unhealthy amount of stalking. Let's not forget Harry feels like crap for nearly killing Draco. And a quick note that's kind of oof topic, but not really... only fake friends go after their friend's crush.

Now then there was no seventh year but for Harry, Ron, and Hermione they were hunting down Horcruxes. Things get interesting cuz by this point they get captured by Snatchers. Draco confesses that he might've seen Hermione and Ron but he LIES about Harry. Hmm- interesting... So lie about Harry but not Hermione? 

So they obviously duel, escape, then are on the hunt again... by the time the war rolled around-Hermione was leaning towards Ron STILL even after he broke her heart with Lavender Brown - Ron stop being stupid, Mione obviously liked you back - Anyway, something couldn't possibly happen between Hermione and Draco because Hermione was more focussed on Ron, who in return was focussed on keeping Hermione safe, and then there was Harry who had been focussed on defeating Voldemort. 

During the battle Draco, Vincent, Gregory, Harry, Hermione, and Ron, all end up in the ROR. Draco was basically screaming at Greg and Vincent to "not kill him" and "him" being Harry. At some point, the room catches fire due to two idiots that used to be Draco's friends, and Draco and his two friends were left to die in the ROR but Ron, Hermione, and Harry who had found brooms and planned on escaping the burning room. But Harry tells his two friends that the others back there will die and they need to help them. 

Well... that's interesting... because, throughout the book series and movie series, Hermione and Ron show zero interest in Draco Malfoy-yet even in the first four books it seemed like a growing obsessive tension had formed between Harry and Draco. How convenient that Harry goes for Draco... HOW VERY INTERESTING WHEN GREG WAS CLOSER... Hmm... And it seemed like Hermione didn't care if they left them to die. She and Ron just wanted to get the heck outta there so they don't fall with the Slytherins. 

But they managed to save Gregory, but Vincent died-how sad yet I don't feel bad cuz you tried killing Harry... Red flag: Hermione meant to leave Draco to die while Harry felt it was the right thing to do. He didn't have to, but he did plan on killing Voldemort, not making a plan on ways to get Voldemort captured and sent to Azkaban-the wizarding prison for life. So it says a lot. Now after the seventh book is completed there was added notes, things like how Harry stood up for Narcissa and Draco Malfoy at their trials. While Lucius Malfoy managed to slime his way out of Azkaban. Little added notes like that. Welp there you go, this says a lot about Drarry and the delusional ship Dramione. 

Hermione is painted as the badass warrior queen in the movies, when she's supposed to be a nice, bossy and bookish girl. This whole "bad guy likes good girl so he changes his ways" isn't the way I would describe Dramione, and the idea is just rubbish overall and overrated. Period.

Now, about the whole "shipping her with everyone thing".

The movies made her the most perfect and pretty girl in Harry Potter, when she's really not, so much that she's literally outclassing everyone she meets. So shippers get the stupid idea that she can date anyone. She can't, so get that shit inside your head.

She's not that pretty and she's not perfect, sassy, or the "queen", so shut up. Book!Hermione has standards. She can't date just anyone and she doesn't give a shit about her looks.

Is that really what my hair looks like in the back?

Honestly, though... I'm sorry for the insults, okay? But like... What the actual fudge???

Stahp it! Get sum help.
