A Question of Ethicshttp://www.fanfiction.net/s/3904813/1/A_Question_of_Ethics
Hermione is in a bad spot with her friendships. Draco torments her as usual, which sets off a horrible string of events. They eventually discover that they are each others' favorite fighting partner for surprising reasons.
Despite the OOC-ness that was found in this fic at times (which I completely accepted since the authoress made the disclaimer that she was writing this for her own pleasure and the character Hermione herself would reflect on how much she had changed) I really loved it. The ending was so bitter and well written. Why is it that I enjoy hurtful farewell stories sometimes? Is it because they are so emotionally charged that I can't look away? Well, this fic has a hurtful ending. And that's why it has a sequel called Forgotten Things.
In this story, all the characters are quite selfish. Yes, even the Golden Trio, if not especially. This fanfic is a lot more realistic that the actually HP books or other fanfics in many ways. Because teenagers are indeed selfish, the characters actually got in trouble when they fought in the halls, and nothing was forgiven and forgotten.
It starts off with Draco finding Hermione in the library. And he proceeds to smack her across the face! This was quite shocking to read. It happens in the last chapter too. But really, is Draco Malfoy above hitting girls? Hermione has been going through bullying and harassment ever since she covered up for Ginny's slutty behavior. Now both Harry and Ron have turned their backs on her, most of the school as well, and Ginny won't come clean despite seeing Hermione suffer. And now Draco was harassing her too. Hermione uses the bruise she got from Draco as leverage and soon gets revenge on her friends. Harry gets back into Hermione's good graces and they almost become a couple, but Hermione keeps getting into scrapes with Draco which end up with them kissing. Draco confesses to Hermione in his own twisted way, and everything gets too muddled for words. It ends with Draco and Hermione having one last talk about their 'relationship' where they conclude Draco won't change for Hermione and Hermione won't change for Draco and they can't be together. At least not until the war is over.
