Reviews for Switching Witches
diamondnightskies chapter 25 . 5/1
Okay, so I did enjoy A LOT of things about this story, but I do feel the need to tell you that it could use some serious editing. It did feel rather disjointed, and it was sometimes difficult to follow the timeline. Most importantly it was frustratingly difficult to figure out when certain things were supposed to have happened between Draco and Hermione. I also couldn't really figure out what really happened between them...at different points you talk about him breaking her heart by choosing to follow his fathers wishes instead of choosing her, but then you talk about her choosing Ron over him. Which is it exactly? There were also times when a character would say something and then a bit later say something completely contradictory, so I was left to wonder which was supposed to be true. One example was when Lucius supposedly found out about Hermione's true blood status. You had Narcissa tell him, but then later he seemed to not have known when Draco is telling him. I didn't understand the whole Krum/Ginny situation at all. While I'm glad you did not end up making Gideon Harry's child, because I might have had to stop reading at that point, it makes no sense to me that he was apparently still contracting to marry a different witch even though he was already married to Ginny. It would have made more sense for him to have been kind of keeping her on the side. Also, that whole thing with Healer Greene seemed completely pointless, especially considering there is no way that kind of unprofessional behavior would be tolerated by so many people. Unless you had worked him into the story as more of a villain I just didn't see the point of him. My main concern with the story is the issues of consent. I'm not sure how it's alright to perform a marriage involving a witch who doesn't actually know who she even is, but that can be brushed aside due the Pureblood traditions you've created and the binding betrothal contract. But it boggles my mind that it's alright for Blaise to have put the Malfoy ring on Hermione's finger without her consent, essentially trapping her. They have a complicated past and she may not have chosen to be with him despite loving him, because sometimes that is not enough. She had that choice taken from her. I also really felt Ron having sex with Astoria so soon was horrible. You made him sound like he didn't really love Hermione, just really wanted sex. He wasn't the least bit concerned that he was supposedly going to take her virginity when as far as he knew she wasn't really in her right mind and when she had been he knew she had wanted to wait. That's awful.
I don't want it to seem like I'm tearing your story down or anything. It's an extremely complex story, the work and imagination put into this is really incredible. Blaise is pretty hysterical in general, Fred too, but I really like the whole spell creation thing with Blaise. I loved them taking care of Elliot. I adored the role of Snape! I absolutely appreciate the fact that you gave interesting story-lines to other characters, despite this being a Dramione story ultimately. The idea behind it and some really funny/interesting writing kept me reading despite the issues I had with the story. I just think some editing could make this story really exceptional.

It was good at first. but lost interest somewhere a few page earlier. so much mixed stories... sorry..

"It's like Yule, but with hate, which is so much better."

While this is probably the most disjointed story I've ever read, it is a hilariously good time. I can't find it in myself to be irritated about the plot holes or even the confusion. It's just a riotously good time and that doesn't happen often in fanfiction.

Nothing will convince me this wasn't written under the influence of twelve bottles of wine, and I've said, "What in the hell...?" more times than I can count, BUT it was all worth it for the moment Snape saw Fred walk down the aisle.

"Sweet Salazar, give me strength," about sums up Snape's entire role in this story and it's MARVELOUS.

I have never in my life wanted to see a Harry and Lucius bromance, but now I just want pages of commentary from the pair.

Loved loved loved this story. Quite funny in parts. However, I found some inconsistencies in some of the details (like in the big gathering at Malfoy Manor, wasn't sure who was there or who was talking in some parts). Otherwise this was quite an entertaining story.

I wish there was a picture of Ron, Harry and George.

I love FredBlaise's wedding
MotekElm chapter 23 . 12/28/2018
ewwwww, Draco making her choose him over family is gross. he should embrace the Weasleys, not be defensive against them.
MotekElm chapter 19 . 12/28/2018
the Black sisters drink in L's study is awesome
MotekElm chapter 16 . 12/28/2018
this bit with Ron and Astoria at the end is funny.
MotekElm chapter 16 . 12/27/2018
Fawley muggleHermione. Avery GreengrassAstoria. So why would Astoria and Hermione look alike? Later, Fawley marries an Avery, but she's not Hermione's mother, so there's no genetic connection between Hermione and Astoria
MotekElm chapter 12 . 12/27/2018
it started out really well, but the refusal to tell Draco at this point- or before the wedding, really- is just grating and nonsensical. it frustrated me that they're still hiding identities for no reason. why can't everyone reveal the truth now?

This was such a good story, I enjoyed reading it. I loved the seriousness of the first half and seeing Draco and Hermione's relationship begin and then them getting what they wanted after all. I also adored the second half and how hilarious it was, Fred was a big favorite. There were a few inconsistencies throughout the story such as in the beginning you said all Draco and Hermione ever did was kiss once but then had a bunch of flashbacks of them kissing and being physical so that was a little confusing. I loved all the rare pairs in this story like Fred x Blaise, Harry x Tonks those are ships I've never seen before but I enjoyed reading about them. Thank you for sharing!
