I think my biggest problem with Dramione is that many authors tend to treat it like there's not a huge hurdle to jump in order to get the two of them in bed. So many people who write SS/HG seem to understand that even if there is an attraction between Snape and Hermione, it still wouldn't be easy to execute a relationship since there is so much workin against them. In Dramione, they just throw the two of them in a room and expect the sparks to fly. I can buy that Draco might have a little bit of an immature crush on Hermione since his actions in the book seem to point toward the boy that picks on the girl he likes. Of course, there is more to it than that, and jealously definitely plays a role, but I still think that's a viable way to approach the relationship. I don't know... It just seems like very few people who write that 'ship put much effort into understanding how these two people interact with each other. They seem to think that the sex card trumps everything.

Anyway, I left that damn fic at work. I e-mailed it to myself and added to it during the day on Friday. Then I forgot to e-mail it to my personal account so I could get it at home. I also didn't bring my flash drive since I'm forgetful as all get out. I'm off on Monday, but I hope to read over what I have and make some corrections on Tuesday. I'll definitely send it your way if you want to read it and let me know if I've gotten them both terribly wrong. It's a response to a Potter Place prompt in which Hermione asks Harry to help her get leniency granted for one or more Death Eaters in custody. I'm trying to go with canon as of DH (except for the epilogue). My eventual goal is to throw Draco into the Muggle world and have him survive, with Hermione's help, of course. I don't know how much plot I can dredge up other than a series of interactions between the two of them. But, I'm enjoying feeling out a possible relationship between them.
