This one was very cute and heartwarming.
How did he look?” Ginny’s question broke through her reminiscence. Lonely. Thin. Tired. Broken, but trying. Exactly like me
Nine years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco still struggles with his life and feelings. He gets up, goes to work, and comes back home. His routine is the only thing that keeps him sane, but at the same time, it's becoming unbearable for him to just exist without any purpose. Hermione has a steady and fulfilling job at the ministry and sees her family and friends weekly, but somehow she still feels lost. She feels that she is still trying to put the pieces of her life back together, while everyone else moved on. Everything changes for both of them when Draco sees Hermione enter his favorite Muggle coffee shop one morning.
There is no complex plot and twists, or villains to defeat in this Fanfiction. Remain Nameless is about two survivors of the war trying their best to heal and thrive. Draco desperately needs something meaningful in his life to give him the motivation to push through and go on with his life, while Hermione has a great career, but feels as if she's not on the same page as her friends because she is not married and doesn't have kids, and she feels as if no one really understands her. This fiction makes a much better epilogue than the one we had in the last Harry Potter book.
I like the fact that this story happens 9 years after the war. Draco and Hermione are adults, and they both had the time to mature and change for the better. It also forces them to take the time to rediscover each other because they both changed so much since they last saw each other. It was refreshing to have a fanfiction focused on happiness and healing, without the darkness and trauma that come right after the end of the war. That being said, I still adore the darker Dramione fanfictions, but I think I was ready for something lighter and fluffier.
The pace is good enough, with funny and cute moments, but I admit that some parts were getting a little bit long or repetitive after a while, but I still enjoyed it very much and read it all in 2 days even though it's over 1000 pages.
“You would carry around monogrammed handkerchiefs,” she chuckled and finally managed to remove the ink. Draco rolled his eyes good-naturedly. “Well of course, Granger, I’m a gentleman.” Hermione snorted. “More like trust-fund brat.” “Careful, peasant, or I shan’t ever lend you my coveted kerchief ever again.” Hermione laughed and held it back out to him. “Here, unless you want me to wash it first?” Draco waved a hand imperiously. “Trust-fund brat, remember? I could have several sails made from my stockpile. Keep it as a reminder of my chivalry.”
“You should have let me pay,” he frowned, annoyed that she wasn’t letting him display any sort of chivalry. She waved his statement away. “No, you got the tickets tonight and you paid for the ballet. Besides, I need to keep building my credit in the Muggle world. You rob Gringotts one time and they constantly treat you like a criminal every time you need to visit your vault…” Draco laughed at the image of Hermione being harassed by a group of security goblins. “Come on then thief, we don’t want you accused of purloining the silverware tonight.”
Seeing Hermione after all those years fills Draco with guilt, and he feels like he does not deserve her forgiveness, and he is not worthy of her. He obviously enjoys his time with her but is always waiting for the other shoe to drop, for her to get fed up with him and abandon him. He cannot understand why she's kind and smiles at him, after all the horrible things he said to her, and after his part as a Death Eater in the war. Hermione is, as always, very driven and determined, and she feels whole and complete whenever she's with Draco. He truly listens to her and is not afraid to give his blunt opinion or challenge her. They have their morning routine: during the week, they meet every morning for a cup of coffee in the muggle coffee shop, and they take this time to chat, talk about their jobs and their life, just breathe, and enjoy each other's company without the judgment of the rest of the magical community.
I loved the banter between Hermione and Draco. Their romance is a slow-burn, and it is a healthy relationship, which is a nice change from Breath Mints / Battle Scars and the other Dramione fiction I've read lately. They get to know each other again, years after they last saw each other, and they become friends long before they get into anything romantic. There is no rush between them, and they take their time to just sit and talk and appreciate their routine together. This story happens over 3.5 years, so we can see how their relationship develops and evolves. I have to say though that I was very eager for things to finally progress between them because it took a while for them to finally take that leap of faith, and I wanted to see where all that sexual tension would lead them.
Hermione slumped against the wall of the pantry cupboard and put her hands over her face. “Am I constantly giving off vibes that I am a pathetic and lonely spinster?” “No more than I’m giving off the vibe of pathetic and lonely bachelor without a woman to take care of him,” Charlie responded wryly. Hermione snuck a peek at him through her hands and let out a laugh. “I suppose I should break the news once again to your mother that despite this lovely time together in the pantry, we did not emerge engaged.” (…) Your mother just tried to trap me in a cupboard with Charlie. She also saw me hug him and I’m pretty sure is now setting a date for our wedding,” Hermione wryly reported to Ginny, who grimaced. Hermione grinned wickedly to herself and thanked several deities that Molly and Arthur Weasley had continued reproducing until they reached Ginny.
Seeing how the Weasley adopted Hermione, and how she considered them to be her family just as much as her muggle parents was so cute. They all love each other so much, and they would all be willing to do anything to protect each other. Their family is now extended with the husbands, wives, and kids, and they just all seem so happy in this chaotic environment full of love and laughter. Seeing how Molly kept hoping that Hermione and Charlie would end up together because they were both single was also cute and funny.
Ginny and Hermione's strong friendship was the best. Ginny was so supportive of Hermione and always willing to run interference when needed. She was also there to control Harry and Ron whenever things got out of hand and was always willing to hex anyone mean to Hermione or Draco.
“You just missed Harry,” Hermione said from her spot on the couch. “You say that like I wanted to see his face.” She narrowed her eyes at him. “Mmhmm. You can snark all you like, but I know you two are close to friendly these days.” Draco scowled. “I think my ‘Potter Stinks’ badges need to come out of storage.”
Draco's snarkiness whenever it comes to Harry and the Weasleys never failed to make me smile or laugh. Draco and Harry being forced to spend time together once Draco and Hermione started dating, and slowly warming up to each other was so wholesome! I ADORE how Harry was so empathetic and forgiving, and how Ginny and he tried their best to integrate Draco into their group. It was also quite funny to see how Draco would keep on saying that he didn't want to spend time with them, or would be snarky when things became a little too friendly, but we could see how he kinda like his time with them despite what he was saying. His new nicknames for Harry made me smile every time, and I am really happy that Draco finally got to experience what real friendship and loyalty feel like because he had no one besides Theo for so many years.
“Potter, take your wife off my hands and for Salazar’s sake, learn to dance a proper waltz yourself,” he hissed and quite literally handed Ginny to Harry. “Oh thank you for indulging me Sir Malfoy, I’m all of a flutter,” she gasped dramatically and sighed, pressing her hand to her forehead. Harry only encouraged her by snickering and Draco suspected the Boy Who Lived was well on his way to being the Man Who Tossed His Dinner into the Hogwarts Shrubbery After One Too Many Whiskys.
Poor Draco was also forced to spend time with the Weasleys and all their extended family and friends (because we all know how Molly and Arthur love to "adopt" every friend of their kids). Ginny and Draco developed a nice bond, and even Draco says that he kinda likes her... compared to the rest of the Weasley.
This is a funny and heartwarming Fanfiction that I highly recommend to any Dramione fan looking for something lighter and full of cute moments and banter.
"So you were enemies at school, what changed?" inquired Sasha. War. Torture. Death. Destruction. Addiction. Redemption. Friendship. Love. Draco turned to Hermione in a panic, but she only smiled up at him, the cold dread that had seemed to seep into his soul burned away by the warmth in her eyes. She was a living, breathing Patronus, chasing away the darkness that wanted to consume him. "We did," she said simply.
