Hello. For those who do not know, I have a literary blog in Brazil, and whenever I can I am posting some recommendation of foreign Dramione fanfiction. Today, I made a very special post recommending the fanfiction "The Decision" from TodaySheWrites, and recommend this WONDERFUL story to you too!
Shaped by the decisions of others, Draco Malfoy finally has a chance to decide for himself - and he decides that a world where Hermione Granger doesn't exist just doesn't fit.
"— It was also very clear—he whispered closer, —that the moment I decided to save you was the moment I decided to save myself as well."
The decision of the boy who never had a choice.
The Decision begins specifically in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, at a time when Hermione is being tortured by Bellatrix. There has clearly been a change of events and Hermione is left to die on the floor of Malfoy Mansion after being cursed by Bellatrix's dagger.
Draco who witnessed his torture, is the only one to make sure to get rid of the body that is already very weak by the curse and amount of blood he has lost. Narcissa, present in the room knew better than anyone what his true intentions were, because while magic vibrated in the air felt the exact moment when his son made his decision... For the first time in his life Draco makes a decision for himself, one that will change and align his path to the destination from which he was predestined.
I have to congratulate this author, because this is a very common beginning in some Dramione stories, because it is obvious that this is a decisive moment when Draco could have made a decision and saved Hermione when she needed it most, but, perhaps, one of the few fanfics that brought originality in a surprising way by picking up one of Draco's great talents that is the practice of the art of occumência. The whole story revolves around this gift that in a way for him is unique because throughout his life he was forced to cognitively organize a proper way of hiding his feelings, intentions... This brought to history, a magic so vibrant that it is almost felt in the air, literally, so at this point it's like there's a break in that "wall" that he has raised to the long of life to close out the outside world that is so dangerous to the people he loves the most.
It's brilliant in my view how the author captured this particularity that is noticeable in Draco because whether he wanted it or not, he was a young man who suffered a lot during the process of becoming a death Eater and was basically contrary to how Voldemort acted on his beliefs of race. This point in the story really surprised me, and the way the other characters, Draco's friends being them Theo, Blás, Pansy and Daphne were being docked to form a new juvenile armada of order in this struggle over the tyranny of Lord Voldemort. This fanfiction was everything I've wanted for a long time, which was what?
The J.K. Rowling really value a little some participants of Slytherin who are not only cunning and malice, there are good intentions and we can perceive through some attitudes of Draco, Snape and even Narcissa Malfoy. So what I expected was that peace and relief for most of the young sonserinos who suffered and that for the next generations there would be more opportunities showing another facet of the slytherins, and this does not happen in a very efficient way and resulting even in a very clear divergence on she it showed and finished the story of the characters of Slytherin vs. Gryffindor , which is clearly the most privileged house in Harry Potter history in the sense of being acclaimed and Slytherin being underestimated.
