does anybody else this this is strange?

I think the reason that Dramione is so popular is because the pairing is completely and totally taboo. They've got nothing in common, and to top it off, Hermione and Draco are one opposite ends of the wizarding world social pyramid. I'm guessing it's so appealing because finding out that two people who "obviously" hate each other, are actually in love, is absolutely scandalous! As a girl, that usually means two thumbs up, but I personally don't like Dramione as much as other pairings. If I WERE to read a Dramione fic, then the fanfic writing would have to be EXTREMELY good. Like I've read Tom Riddle Jr. and Hermione stories, but the few that I HAVE read were like the thousands with reviews, and highly recommended.

Well, the same goes with any non-canon relationships. People like fantasy. That's why fanfic is such a popular thing. The problem is when some people mistake fanon for canon and refuse to believe anyone who tries to set the record straight.

I've seen some pairings that I thought were extremely odd, but to each their own.

Ah the magic of fanfic writing...

Also, have you already heard that love and hate are quite close actually ? Maybe behind anger and hate and prejudices, there are a whole potential for a redemption for Draco, of acceptance for Hermione.

JKR's works contains also a clear message that racism (whatever its form) and prejudices are a bad thing and deserved to be fought at any level.

I like the pairing, as the two have more in common than at first sight. They are good students. They are good-looking too and very smart individuals.

Such a pairing reminds of Romeo and Juliet - hence the appeal. Well, just my 2 Knuts.

i love ROMIONE best and i don't hate Harmione-it's cute! Dramione is something that makes you think and J.K did consider it so that made alot of fans believe and of course Emma had a crush on Tom when they were little!
I don't know why they have sooo many fans bu i find it interesting......

Opposites attract, my friend.

I find this pairing very similar to the Zutara movement in the Avatar fandom. People just like the cliche good girlxbad boy thing I guess...

I prefer Romione, but Dramione isn't that bad.

Some people find it appealing I guess. I just can't get the logic of it. Why would Hermione be that foolish, abandon her pride and date a guy that has pretty much called her offensive slurs the whole time they have known each other? Like I've said before, it would be like a black woman ending up dating a KKK member.
