Romione vs. Dramione

When it comes to shipping, I have a minor conflict.  I'm torn between a canon and a non-canon ship.  Those would be Romione (Ron/Hermione) and Dramione (Draco/Hermione).  I honestly don't know which one I like better.

First is Romione.  Ron and Hermione became friends in the first book, and eventually they became more than just friends.  Yes, they had their arguments, but what friends haven't?  Their friendship always came through in the end.

You could tell they were meant to be together.  How Ron disliked Viktor Krum in year four, and Hermione disliked Lavender Brown in year six.  How Hermione was upset when Ron left her and Harry in Deathly Hallows.  How, later on in that book, Ron was in distress during Hermione's torture.  You could go on and on.

There's no other way to put it; they're just so perfect together.  Some might say that Hermione deserved better than Ron.  Why?  Why isn't he good enough for her?  They loved each other, and that's what matters.

Next is Dramione.  When I first heard about this ship, I hated it (I may have mentioned this before).  I didn't think it would work.  The more I thought about it, however, the more I liked it.  Now, I think it would work.

I honestly don't know how to describe it.  The only way I can think of would be to compare it to Lily and James Potter, who didn't like each other in school and then ended up getting married.  The same could happen with Draco and Hermione.

I don't believe that Draco was that bad of a person.  Okay, so he was a bully in school, but again, so was James.  Draco sort of redeemed himself in Deathly Hallows, and I think he could've turned out all right.  There really isn't anything in the books that could suggest them being together, but I've seen other ships that are the same way (like Fred/Hermione, I have nothing against it but where did it come from?).  I can't explain this ship any other way than that IT WOULD WORK!  Just think about it for a moment.

There you have it.  Ron and Draco, two very different people, but both people that I think could end up with Hermione.  Who do I like better?  I don't know.  I'm not sure if I'll ever be able to choose.

  1. Viktor Krum is a Bulgarian, so I love him! :D

    Anyway, back on to the topic at hand...

    I can see your dilemma! It's a very hard choice. Hm... I think Draco/Hermione would add more drama and flare, but Ron/Hermione is just too CUTE!

  3. No but Draco Malfoy didn't redeem himself in DH. He was just a "two-faced bastard" who tried all he could to end up on the winning not the right side. He was still thinking for himself only. He isn't the same as James either and saying they are the same is an insult to James. No matter what you think of James Potter, he was never a racist.

  4. I agree with you, it's a pretty hard choice. But as I read more fanfictions, I found Dramoine as a more deeper and understanding ship. Ron and Hermione have faced many ups and downs in their relationship and I feel they could break up any moment.
    They have grown throughout the books, no doubt but Dramione has such a deep understanding and the way their relationship could have been woven is beautiful.
    So, Dramione for the win

    1. It's simply not fair to use fanfiction to compare the two ships.
      Dramione is not volatile? Lol this is just hilariously delusional considering how horrible Draco Malfoy is a person. This is the same guy who did not care about morals even when he knew it was wrong. Remember how he tried to hand Harry over to Voldemort in RoR during the Battle of Hogwarts?
      Draco has a good understanding? Lol he never seemed to get out of the concept that Muggle-borns are scum until when?
      Draco and Hermione makes as much sense as pairing a SS officer with a Jew.

    3. Everything is volatile, especially humans. I fail too see how Draco Malfoy cant. He isnt a common criminal. He's an asshole and he isn't immune to change. I was Romione once. I switched. I can't handle the cliched best friend pairing. It was too dull and repetitive. Good day btw

    5. Why should Hermione wait around for someone to change? What does Hermione get out of this? You know, this idea that a girl should wait around for the bad boy to grow up is an insult to the girl and sexist.

      If you like Dramione nobody cares but make it clear it's in AU and don't go around bashing the canon pairings as it wouldn't make your ship look any better.

      The fact that Ron is a sidekick instead of the hero should mean it's not repetitive.

    6. Sorry to break the news, but I don't approve Dramione. Seriously, I think its pathetic. In Romione, do they make Draco Malfoy the bad guy? harry the bad guy? NO.NO. In Romione, Harry is just this cute BFF. Dramione: Problem or obstacle. Ron: VILLAN! EVIL! CRAZY!!!!
      When I read Dramione, Ron SLAPS Hermione, and Hermione goes running to Draco and he consoles her. Not really the type Draco and Ron should be like, don't you think? Romione, on the other hand, just is this really cute couple who make a beautiful relationship, and I read so many fanfics about them. I read many Dramione fanfics, too, because I was wondering where to ship. I really hadn't decided yet.

      Dramione makes Ron the villan.
      In the Dramione I read...

      Ron

      a. screams at Hermione
      b. is DITCHED BY HERMIONE and she goes running over to Draco. SERIOUSLY? She ditched a QUIDDITCH star to be with Ron in cannon!
      c. slaps her on the face.
      d. is crazy

      Draco...
      a. consoles a sad person (Never going to happen)
      b. doesn't call Hermione a mudblood
      c. Is happy for Hermione when she goes running off to another guy
      d. does not pick any fights

      Dramione sort of spoils Hermione, too
      She is usually the one to ditch Ron to be with PRECIOUS Draco, and when things don't go like she wants them to, she ditches HIM. And then she goes back to him. People think that that is ROMANTIC? I think that that is DISLOYAL.
      Romione is cute, funny. and makes perfect sense, but Dramione--well--It CAN be cute, but it just--doesn't work out. If a sheep marries a lion, well, the sheep will eventually--Anyways, I still haven't 100% decided who to ship! Can you help me and tell me what is better with all the reasons?
      BYE!!!!
      THANKS!!!
      SORRY!!!(If you found this offensive)
      JUST SHARING MY OPINION!!
      SHARE YOURS!!!!

  5. Non c'è nemmeno bisogno di chiedere. La Dramione rimane sempre la regina delle ship potteriane. In più Draco Malfoy è un vero figo. (I'm Italian if you don't understand what I wrote used the translator, in English I suck lol)

    1. No you need to learn how to write in English in an English blog for the sake of everyone else who doesn't understand your language. Also, Draco is a horrid person but of course fans just think he's cool um who cares that he tried to hand Harry over Voldemort or kill innocent people lol.

  7. Dramione is a pathetic ship that makes everyone that Hermione might be intrested in into bad guys, and Draco will come defeat them all and end up with the princess. Will DRACO do that? NO. IF dramione works out, Draco will be an abusive bully as a husband and a father... I know the whole bad boy falls for the good girl thing, but Romione is a enemy-best friend-date-marrige! It is so beautiful! Dramione is written cute, too, but in the books, who wants their crush DEAD? Draco MALFOY! so...
    Draco does NOT DESERVE THE KIND, GOOD, INTELLEGENT HERMIONE!!!! RON DOES!!

  8. Dramione is the worst ship in the whole UNSIVERSE followed by Harmione and Pansimione. Well,first of all...
    Hermione chose Ron. Dramione shippers leave out that tiny aspect; HERMIONE CHOSE RON, IDIOTS!
    No matter HOW hard you email and torment the amazing author JK, her books are NEVER Dramione.
    It's Romione; the ship that is the best!
    Harry potter is a Romione shipper!
    Draco malfoy CAN be a romione shipper. I mean, like, maybe he called her a mudblood so Ron could defend her. I don't know. BUT, hinny and romione are the best, forever, whatever those abusive evil dramione shippers say!
    Romione won't be a long run! you wail.
    Uh huh, they are together 19years later with 2 children. IDIOTS.
    UGH.
    is hermione with malfoy? WAS SHE EVER WITH MALFOY? DID SHE BECOME HERMIONE GRANGER-MALFOY IN CANNON? NO NO NO NO NO. ONLY STUPID FANFICTIONS SAY THAT SHE DID.
    I THINK IF DRAMIONE WAS REAL, HERMIONE WILL DIVORCE HIM THE DAY ON THEIR "WEDDING".
    Romione is the most popular Hermione ship, and it's the 2nd most popular ship after drarry (why is that even a thing).
    The only Malfoy ship I ship is Drapple and Drastoria, ya know, THE REAL/MAKING SENSE ONES?!

  9. If you love relationships where you get to marry the biggest bully in your school, then go ahead and ship dramione. I just want you to get less hates on your fanfics if you ever ship any of them.
    Think about the most evil, racist, and spoiled boy/girl in your school. THE BULLY.
    If you choose dramione, well, i feel so bad for hermione.
    put yourself in her shoes and marry the bully.

  10. So this is how it goes.
    Dramione: Malfoy marries Hermione, calls her a mudblood, and they divorce the very next day.
    Romione: Ron and Hermione get married, have two kids name Rose and Hugo, Ron appreciates her since HELLO, Rose and Hugo "Granger" Weasley, and they sometimes argue but apologize and were together for over 19 years.
    Harmione: the trio breaks apart, and due to it being the most dull, idiotic, and dumb ship, no one will even talk to each other. In fanfics their like Ron and Hermione, always playful and loving, but if this was real then it would be a disaster, or the most boring and commanding, vain ship EVER. Worse than Edward X Bella. And that's saying something!
    Nevmione: (was it this?) Nevil will run away
    Krumione: Krum will watch her study until they get old and die. No communication. Just staring and reading.
    Snamione: Ew. Just Ew. Paring HERMIONE with the only teacher (except for Umbridge and Trelawny) she did not treat like a saint with her, the person who was over 20 years old older than her?
    "WIZARDS LIVE LONG!"
    Imagine that you are born to this world by a 50 year old dad and a 30 year old mom. SO BAD. UNREALISTIC. HORRIBLE.
    Volmione: WHY DOES THIS EXIST? Voldemort was KILLING people like her because of their "blood purity". As a half-blood gryffindor, I can't see why they would EVER be together! Time travel to the past? HE STILL WANTS TO MURDER 7 PEOPLE TO RIP HIS OWN SOULD APART AND BECOME IMMORTAL. GOOD LUCK WITH HIM, HERMIONE.
    Cormione: "Confundo"
    Fremione: Ron and Hermione are puzzle pieces that match together. Fred and hermione are too opposites to even ATTRACT.
    Any other Hermione ships you ship? I will tell you why you should save yourself from them (except for the cannon one, of course)
