The Right Thing To Do

absolutely beautiful first chapter

This story is so cute, keep it up : )

So.good.

Well I dont think she knows for a fact he didnt kill anyone, just assumes from what she has seen of him.Well besides being a little crazy from fear, guilt, and stress, I am curious to dm's reaction. Is it because he feels he should do the time for the crimes he committed and the guilt he feels for it?Also good job hg. I liked your hautiness.

Oh~ typically Malfoy. I watched HBP today and I realized Draco's situation also his condition. The first time I watched the movie, I even didn't remember his participation in Death Eaters's activities. Because I disliked Draco the bully😂 I only remembered Dumbledore's death

What a great story, and I just found it! Great job :)

Okay. I'm going through my second read-through right now. All my comments before were essentially just me gushing because of how in love with this story I am. But I'd like to offer some meaningful comments this time around. (spoiler alert below for people who haven't read beyond this chapter)You strike a perfect balance between humor and angst. I feel for Hermione and Draco; I can acutely feel everything they're going through. But your writing isn't bogged down by purple prose. You have a way of making me understand exactly what they're feeling, without having to express it. You show, not tell. And that I think is the mark of a truly good author. It's something I've always struggled with myself, yet you do it very well. You also do not shy away from telling when needed for clarification. And I appreciate that. Also, your Hermione is believable. That alone is a complement in itself. Canon Hermione wouldn't be concerned with makeup, and your Hermione isn't either. But she doesn't put other women down for their choices. Particularly later on when we're introduced to some rivals, her first instinct is jealousy and being petty. But she gets over it when she gets to know them. And I think that is so important. Often the main female character will put down other female characters whom she views as a threat. But you don't do that. And I find that so so so refreshing. It makes me love your Hermione so much because she feels so real. Just.... god. This is amazing, and it had everything I need in a Dramione fic. So thank you so much for your hard work. Writers like you are a true gift to the world.

This first chapter is a fantastic hook! I can't wait to read more!

One chapter in and you've got me hooked. Putting in my marked for laters to read when it's not past midnight so I can fully enjoy it :)

This came highly recommended by a member from Strictly Dramione and oh my what a start! I can undoubtedly see what the hype is all about. Guess who's not going to get any sleep today? Ha!

I am blown away! Like, damn! This is so well written and I have such adoration for you already!!! Love Hermione in this!

I love Hermione’s sass when talking to the Wizengamot. This is off to such a great start!

Hmm I wrote more of a review and not much as shown up. Fab as always. They are going to have spectacular fall out

After reading this lovely story in the last 2 days, here I am starting it again. I not only want the draco POV story, but also I wish you could keep writing their story together until old age... I just can't get enough! Thank you a thousand times! I really wish all the happiness you shared with us get back to you multiplied.

I am hollering!!! I've never read something i never wanted to come to an end so badly! every word! i clung to every word. thank you for writing this, it was beautiful and you're writing style is amazing. thank you.

Hi, I just wanted to say that TRTTD is amazing. If you wrote a book I would buy it so fast. I have not been able to let this story go for the last week. I haven't been able to search for, much less read, other fan fiction. Everything feels like it pales in comparison. I just keep rereading all my favorite parts relishing the Draco and Hermione that you have created, as individual characters and their relationship to one another. I couldn't believe this was your only story when I checked your bio. I have read this story on AO3, ff.net, and have stalked your tumblr too. (I don't even have tumblr.) You are a phenomenal literary artist and I thank you for your hard work and for sharing this with the world. I can't wait for more! Xx

Like the first chapter!

This has to be one of the most detailed, well written and spellbinding fictions I have ever read in my ten years with Dramione. Ten out of ten for the slow burn that holds on to your heart. Draco is an enigma for our poor little Heroine and the way the author unfolds his depth of character is absolutely applause worthy. I stopped many times just to read hilarious bits of smooth conversation out loud to my fiance so he could appreciate the fine wording and wit. Thank you for sharing your skills with the world. Regards! ♡

What an amazing fic! I could barely put it down!! One of my favorite fics of all time tbh, great job!

wOMAN, I APPLAUD YOU AND IM WEEPING I FINISHED YOUR AMAZINGLY WRITTEN FIC IN A DAY I JUST—

I just wanted to drop in to tell you that I finished your story in one sitting. Stayed up until 6 in the morning, went to bed for three hours and when I woke up i started reading again. I just couldn't stop. All of your characters are flawless and I just really, really loved everything about. It included a lot of my ultimate trope favorites without managing to be corny. It was so different and so wonderful. And I just can't stop gushing about this story. I can't wait to read the Draco POV and the auction AU. I'm so excited. <3 <3

Hey! I really like your work. And I would like to translate it into Russian so that more people will learn about such a wonderful work. But I need your permission. Do you mind if I translate your work, and I will necessarily indicate you as the author?

It has been years since I read Dramione but I got the urge and OMG this fic sucked me right back in. I LLVED your characterizations, Draco’s mannerisms, your Hermione. The plot was so well done, that intricate slow weave. It was hot and amazing AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS WAS YOUR FIRST FIC? you are incredibly talented and I can’t wait to read the Auction AU if and when you post it. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

This took me on an emotional roller coaster in the best way way!

I loved this so much!! Beautifully written and amazing story. ❤️

This story was so amazing! Thank you for writing!

I LOVE THIS STORY!This is the second time I’ve read it and I did it all in one sitting. What a way to spend a Sunday.

Wow! This is amazing and definitely ome of my favourite Dramione famfic. It kept me awake last night and turned me into a zombie today but it was so, so worth it. Congratulations LovesBitca8 for the prizes you got for this story which you richly deserved!

very light spoilers for later chapters:starting my second read early (i was going to wait until ATWT was done to reread them both in a row). the last chapter of ATWT (which revealed the hags identity) was so good that I had to reread TRTTD now. :) I love this fanfiction and you are a great writer

Found this via fanart on tumblr and I already love it. Great characterisation and something intriguing laying beneath the surface.

Oh what a hook of a first chapter! And so we’ll written! I love it

I want to read TRTTD again before starting the Auction so here I am!

love it!

I love every single thing about this. You're so brilliant i mean I love you now

GAH! Rereading again. Which makes this my third pass? Fourth? Eh. Who cares?!SIDE NOTE: I snuck this onto my sister’s kindle because she’d never knowingly read FanFiction. I essentially laced my sister’s leisure reading in hopes of inciting an addiction. Background info: we are both adults. She’s a lawyer and has a mortgage. It took a lot of my creative genius to get this onto her kindle covertly. And as sharp as she is I am 100% sure this will work. 🎵I’m your pusherman🎵

Oh I’m so excited to start this! So good so far!

I do so admire Hermione for being able to look at people for their own situations and not just their outer stereotypes

She left her wand behind oh no! Great chapter!

My palms actually get sweaty when I read this chapter, my heart pounds. You just suck me right into the moment!

You know that movie “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind”? I’ve never actually seen it but enough of my friends have for me to get sparknotes version of it. Essentially these two people break up. Then since it’s too painful for them they each separately employ this service which can remove the memory of their relationship. Viola! No breakup pains!Except they keep falling in love and breaking up “for the first time” because they keep erasing it after every breakup. I just. I just ~wish~ I could continually read, erase, re-experience TRTTD and ATWT for the rest of my life. So, thanks for making me think of Jim Carrey on the regular

Hermione is such a bad bitch and I love her so much

Can I just say, I have blissfully stumbled upon this story and it has devoured an entire day and a half (of which I was supposed to be studying). I didn't even really know this was even a pairing, nor did I know that I desperately needed it. Your shit is so good, and I am hooked. Thank you.

Oooh! I’ve heard so much about this story I had to finally read it. Very intriguing!

I finished reading this story today and it was phenomenal! I stayed up all night reading it because I could not put it down. The build up and mystery kept me completely hooked. You write this pairing so well and this is my favorite Dramione story that I’ve read so far! I can’t wait to delve into the other stories in this series.

Time for a reread and realized I hadnt read nor reviewed TRTTD on AO3. Shocking . Amazing first chapter pulls me right in again💕

Honestly I've lost track of how many times I've read this story. It's one of my favourites and I keep coming back to it!

rereading this gem again....

Such a fantastic and sweet story! I absolutely love their relationship and the way you write their interactions!

Yooooo this is setting up to be a fic that will possibly BREAK MY HEART.AM I RIGHT.PLEASE DONT LET ME BE RIGHT. THANKS FOR SHARING!

Oh goodness I am SO excited for this journey. I initially got directed to The Auction because of Avendell's artwork for it, but imagine my surprise when I realized that there is not one, but TWO fics that come before it. I've got my seatbelt on, I'm strapped in for a rollercoaster of angst!
