Dramione Diaries

In this episode we are going back to our roots where we read and react to a singular Dramione fanfic and we are doing LIONHEART BOOK 3! We are aware that greenteacup has gone dark and has deleted this fic and her profile but Neiha is living under denial and Aafreen still wants to continue (esp bc we have been getting comments requesting us to!). HONESTLY IT’S A GLORIOUS FIC even if it is unfinished *cries* *screams* throws up Maybe hearing and seeing the love will inspire green teacup to come back? LET ME LIVE IN MY DELUSION. Anyways, we...

Hello Hello! Welcome back to Neiha and I continuing our Disappearances of Draco Malfoy chat. We last left off righttt after the First Kiss.

We love this episode because while the first half of this fic is all yearning and long looks, the second half is so much action and crazy twists and turns that we were literally trying our best to make sure we didn't leave any detail uncovered!

We also get some more Narcissa, a lot more Ron (we'll allow it), anddd PANSY!! Aafreen's actual girl-crush let's be real. This fic is so...

Hello!!! This fic has been highly requested AND has def been one of Aafreen's fave for a while so we were so excited to finally record an episode on The Disappearances of Draco Malfoy by Speechwriter! This fic rewrites all of Deathly Hallows but if Draco had taken Dumbledore's offer in the Astronomy Tower and allowed the Order to hide him and his family (instead of being an unsuccessful murderer). Well, that happens, and of course Draco can't keep his pointy nose out of the Golden Trio's business and before he can say "My father will hear about this,"...

Hello, hello! This week's episode we are starting where we left off in Lionheart--Year 2 for this Gryffindor Draco! We unpack the politics in the Ministry with the new elections (help), we grow our hearts for our love for Dobby, and we hold Draco's hand while he painfully grows into a better human being (and stops saying slurs to muggle borns lmao). We also damn near cry in hysterics when retelling a particular scene between Draco and Snape...it was so much fun! We hope you guys enjoy...if you don't here's a virtual marigold from us ;)

Hello again!

Surprise- we're starting a WIP series to follow along with Lionheart!

This is a fic that is near and dear to us and so many other people who enjoy canon rewrites. Lionheart by Greenteacup is a rewrite of the whole HP series BUT from Draco's perspective :)

Yeah, its super fun...and let's be honest: tween Draco Malfoy makes for the most hilarious, sarcastic, and ponce-y narrator. We hope you enjoy!

Cheers! ~Aafreen and Neiha

HelloOO who's still here??

Neiha and I come, (Manacles in hand lolz) bearing our last and finalllll part of our Manacled series voldy's voice "my friends!! Thirteen years its been!!!"

No, but, seriously we know we have been hitting y'all with so much Manacled content and if you've made it this far you are our strongest soldiers!

We had an amazing time but we are also excited to move on to different fics!

As always, please mind the tags!

Cheers

~Aafreen and Neiha

Welcome baackk squints into the crowd

Are you guys tired of our Manacled episodes yet?! No? Same here

We're picking up this week as Hermione is desperately trying to keep Draco safe with the war picking up on either side- they're both feeling the pressure as the war asks more and more from both of them... BUT the best part about this episode is that we finally get to see them turn to each other! cries ugly tears

We hope you're enjoying this Manacled era on the pod as much as we are...

Helloooo Manacled Ride-or-Dies!!

Welcome back and welcome to our 2nd installment of the Manacled series where we dive in to the flashback chapters (cue the immediate RAGE we all feel for poor Hermione).

To absolutely NO ONE's surprise but our own: Neiha and I dove sooo far deep into the Manacled Flashbacks that we in-fact have to split up it up into two episodes :)

So here is Part 1: hopefully you guys aren't sick of the Manacled content (or us :P) just yet. Let's be so forreal right now, this fic is...

Hello!!

Did you miss us? We definitely missed you!

We're kicking this year off with a 3-parter on one of the greatest fics of all time (a gfoat if you will???)

It seemed only right that we do this fic justice so of course there's no way we could have kept these episodes short so grab a snack, and grab an emotional support blanket or something...because we all know Manacled rips our soul to shreds EVERY time- and we love it.

HUGEEE blanket trigger warning on this one...

Happy New Yearrr from DramioneDiaries!

We hope you enjoy this 3rd and final installment of our one-shot series: By the Book by DarkoftheMoon!

This one shot had us chuckling about the Scottish isles, lentil soups, and Muggle literature. Its a great little unique read and you should totally check it out and come back and join our chat!

Neiha and I will be taking a little winter break from episodes for the rest of January so make sure to keep up with us on socials and tune back in February.

Happy 2025!!! ~...

Happy Last-Dramione-Diaries-Episode-of-2024!!

Welcome to part 2 out of 3 of our festive and holiday-ish episodes everyone! This week's fic is: A Stake of Holly Through His Heart by LovesBitca8 (aka the actual queeeen of Dramione whomst we absolutely adore).

This fluffy one-shot is the story of how scrooge-y 8th year Draco goes from making Hermione Granger cry on Christmas to plying her with enough mulled cider that she agrees to take a walk with him...and proceeds to SMILE about it. We're not going to explain any further..honestly its the "13 Going On 30" of it all.

Hello and Happy Dramione-themed holidays here at Dramione Diaries!

Today's episode is part 1 of 3 of Neiha and I chatting about short little fics that jingle our Draco-and-Hermione-loving hearts!

We're keeping it all fluff and no angst for the next few weeks, inspired by the Draco in this fic: To Woo a Witch by MyDelphi.

He has a witch in sight, a plan, and a baby- he should have her snowed in by Christmas morning...right?

(mild TW for infertility)

XOXO! ~Neiha and Aafreen

Hello Hello Dramione Friends!

Welcome to this week's episode where we are "whisked" away into the fic, Apple Pies and Other Amends by the lovely author: ToEatAPeach!

Neiha and I dive into Hermione's baking era, and how she reallllly needs to discover the art of sleeping in, and we celebrate that Drapple theory lives on :P

We're keeping it light, fluffy, and fun this week and also getting VERY hungry after discussing all these desserts...so perhaps we'll also be making a Hermione Granger PT recipe!

As always, please read the...

Hello hello and welcome to lucky episode number 7!

This week we are diving into a belovedd Dramione classic: Wait and Hope by mightbewriting. This fic is beautifully written and we had so much fun working our way through it. Hermione wakes up in St. Mungo's and finds herself at a loss for words when she discovers she's married to none other than...Draco Malfoy?? Except he's...really nice? And makes her breakfast everyday? And likes children? And basically desperate for his wife to fall in love with him again. Basically Neiha and I can't figure out what...

Hiii and welcome back listeners! We are continuing our discussion on The Auction by LovesBitca8 so strap back in because we have things to rave about! SPOILER ALERT --We love how Hermione and Draco's relationship develops through practicing together for Edinburgh, their tandem researching, and then eventually the horecrux hunting! So much tension and action that we unpack as well as getting our feels out about the ending! Have a listen and tell us what you think!

p.s. how often do you guys think Hermione brings up to Draco that she got put in the mental...

Well hello there! Welcome to this week’s episode where we talk about a God tier fic: The Auction by LovesBitca8! We had a lot of thoughts so this is part one–where we set up this tragic and beautiful story. Although it is a dark AU, we still manage to crack jokes and keep things Unserious over here…Pansy would be proud.

We analyze Hermione and Draco’s resistance to the New Order, gush about the Malfoy Manor Library, and wonder if Lucius wears a claw clip!

Happy listening and please mind the tags!

TW...
