Hi everyone,
So if you've read Conversations, you'll know that Draco and Hermione ended up getting married and he gave her an amazing engagement ring, which Ginny estimated at 30,000 Galleons (rough Sterling price £150,000 based on JK Rowling's assessment that a Galleon is equal to £5).
I'm sure you'll have wondered what it looked like. This is the ring I based it on. Isn't it absolutely gorgeous?
So now for the details regarding this remarkable ring (that I would dearly love to own but could never afford in a million years and, sadly, am never going to have a beau with enough money to buy it for me. However, if I ever win big on the lottery it is mine!)
It's a 5.92ct emerald cut Columbian emerald with 12 baguette diamonds, 6 tapered emeralds and 8 carre diamonds, set in platinum. It is made by the fabulous jewellery designer, Martin Katz and, unsurprisingly, doesn't have a price (hence my guess) — go and check out the rest of his exquisite work and drool at the beautiful pieces he makes (there are earrings that match this ring, too, which I obviously want just as much as the ring).
After doing a search for comparable jewellery, I thought I'd got the price about right when you take into account that it's a real statement piece from an amazing designer, but then I found a couple of his pieces on other sites and they were way more expensive - between $300-700K, so it may well be that Hermione's ring is worth far more than Ginny thought it was.
Only Draco knows it's true worth, and maybe that's a good thing!
Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the story, and that you're all keeping well and social distancing without too much problem — at least you have plenty of fanfic to keep you going. Please check out my other stories if you haven't already done so, or revisit old favourites.
Most of all keep yourselves safe!
Until next time,
Dx

New Story - Conversations (Dramione)
Good evening everyone,
After my little tease back on Valentine's Day, I'm posting a brand new Dramione story. To be honest, I had expected to unveil it a little sooner, but real life got in the way, as it so often does. At least I've managed to get something out in the first half of this year - which is definitely an improvement on last year.
As the format of the story is about conversations between Hermione and Draco the chapters aren't too long, apart from the set-up one, so I'll be posting this daily rather than weekly. For this reason, I'm not going to link to every chapter like I normally do, just this first one.
The story isn't explicit although it does feature some swearing and Draco gets a bit leery on occasions. It is being hosted on FanFiction.Net and Archive of Our Own, so anyone can read it.
So, to the story. It begins in Hermione and Draco's sixth year at Hogwarts after a chance meeting in one of the school corridors changes both their lives forever.

I hope you enjoy the story. As ever, kudos, comments and reviews are appreciated.
I'm off to write. I have loads of WIPs but no time to get them finished at the moment so I'm taking a few minutes whenever I can. Maybe the prospect of isolation because of the Coronavirus might give me a bit more time to get something finished. I can only hope.
See you soon (hopefully).

Sugar and Spice: Valentine's Day
Hi all,
So in case you missed my last post, the Halloween stand-alone Dramione story, Sugar and Spice, has become a fully-fledged series.
We last met our protagonists at Christmas, when Draco sneakily tried to get physical with Hermione while dressed as both Santa and Casanova, with relative success but eventually to the detriment to his relationship to her.
Now it's Valentine's Day and time for new shenanigans . . . and a confession.
As ever, comments, kudos and reviews are gratefully received, so thank you for posting them.
Until next time - which may be sooner than you think - keep the faith!

Ooops - Sugar and Spice: The Christmas Chapter
Hi everyone,
Okay, so because it had been so long since I posted, and because I may, possibly, have been a bit squiffy due to the imbibing of Christmas champagne, I completely forgot to announce that I had posted a new chapter in the Sugar and Spice story.
To be honest, when I originally wrote the story - as a Halloween special - I intended it to be a bittersweet stand-alone Dramione story.
But then I had inspiration for a Christmas chapter (which was good, as the Christmas story I was supposed to be writing was growing and growing (as these things always do with me) and wasn't going to get finished in time for the festive season - fingers crossed for this year, eh?)
Anyway, so on Christmas Day (well, Boxing Day, actually, by the time I got round to it) I posted the next chapter in what is clearly going to be an ongoing series.
So here are the links (although it might be a bit late if you've already read it - if not, better late than never, and welcome to the story!)
And now I'm off to post the entry I meant to post today - the Valentine's Day chapter!
See you soon.

New story - Sugar and Spice
H A P P Y H A L L O W E E N
Hi everyone,
Oh wow, it's been so long since I last posted. I can't believe I honestly haven't uploaded a single story this year. Unfortunately, real-life intruded a bit too much and I've had little time for writing. But finally I'm back (and just in time for NaNoWriMo too, although I'm currently at a loss as to what to do).
I've wanted to write a Halloween story for quite some time and this year I finally managed it. Of course, it was sod's law that I then couldn't post it on Halloween as I got caught up with other things, but rather than leave it for another year I've decided to upload it anyway.
The story is called Sugar and Spice and takes its title from the old rhyme.
Ron and Harry make a bet with Hermione that she can't spend Halloween night alone in the Shrieking Shack. She knows it's going to be an easy bet to win - there's nothing in there and never has been, apart from Professor Lupin in werewolf form, and that was many years before. But is she right? And what is Draco Malfoy doing there?
It's quite a long short story so I've split it into two chapters. the first of which can be found below.
Christmas here we come!
Until next time, stay safe and keep the faith.

All I Want For Christmas - New Story
Merry Christmas everyone!
I'm actually a little late as it's now Boxing Day here, but I got caught up with stuff and then remembered I hadn't created a picture for my story and so I had to quickly cobble something together (which is why it's so rubbish, sorry!).
Christmas time, of course, means the annual Draco and Hermione fanfic, so here it is - All I Want For Christmas. It's cute and AU as hell, but it's Christmas and fanfic so anything goes, right?
Draco Malfoy asks Father Christmas for an impossible gift.
I really hope you enjoy the story and would, as always, appreciate kudos, comments and reviews.
I'm off to do a bit more Christmassing. I hope you've had/are having a peaceful and happy time whether or not you celebrate any of the many different festivals around this time of year.
I'll see you next year, when hopefully I'll have some more stories completed. I really need to stop watching Netflix and get on with some writing!
Until next time,
Dx

Dear Mym - Year Seven and Epilogue
Hullo, everyone.
It's Sunday night, I have a stinking cold thanks to the rotten weather at the moment, and it's time for the final chapters of Dear Mym. There is an epilogue, but it's so short I didn't think it was worth saving until next week - and I'm off to Spain anyway, so at least I don't have to worry about posting that before I go.
Charlie has left Hogwarts and is working with the Order of the Phoenix, but with war on the way, anything could happen.
Thank you to everyone who's read the story. I hope you enjoyed it. Comments, reviews and kudos are always welcome.
As I said I'm off to Spain shortly, but before I go I need to crack on with NaNoWriMo. Shamefully, I've been so busy this month that my current tally stands at about 4,000 words, but I've set this week aside to do as much as possible, and if nothing else get the annual Christmas story finished.
I'm also very excited because my BFF bought me the Harry Potter Funko advent calendar, to clutter up my already overstuffed home with 24 miniature HP figures. I have also bought a chocolate calendar (of course) and a wine one, too, as I think a glass of wine each evening is a nice way to treat myself in the lead up to Christmas.
Time to get going as I need to crack that word count, and find time to put up my Christmas tree!
Feeling festive already!
