I have looked into etiquette for fanfiction and will be following the community etiquette below. I will still give spice levels so that others know what they are getting into in case they want low spice reads.

About the Fan Fic

In the wake of the Dark Lord’s triumph over Harry Potter, the defeated must learn their new place. Hermione Granger, former Golden Girl, has been captured and reduced to human chattel. Sold to the highest bidder as the top prize at an auction of Order members and sympathizers, she is thrust into the rabid, waiting hands of the Death Eaters. But despite the horrors of Voldemort’s new world, help—and hope—seem to arise from the most unlikely of places. - lovesbitca8

My Thoughts

I absolutely love a good possessive Draco Malfoy. The whole premise of Draco secretly loving Hermione and buying her so that a twisted death eater couldn’t harm her was enough to sell me on this.

The growth in their relationship was so nicely timed. The way the rest of the characters interacted with Draco and Hermione was okay but their interactions together was golden. I do love that the other Malfoys got to play a more up front role in the story as well.

Overall for one of my first Dramione fan fics, I really did enjoy this and plan to continue to re-read this one. I know it has been adapted into a novel but to me this is always going to be the true version.
