Why This Must Be Read: You should know straight off, I do not ship D/Hr. Like at all. I fail to see where people get it from, why people love it. But shippers and non-shippers need to read this fic. Somehow I stumbled upon this oneshot years ago, somehow I started reading it. It stands as the best (ok, pretty much only, but you'll see why) D/Hr fic I've read to date. The flow and style of it I envy so much – it's all clever and sort of sarcastic and almost rambly and wordy but in the BEST way possible. The author tells the story in the way you might think of a plotbunny before and during writing it. This is one I've reread multiple times because I just adore how it's written. Plus it's basically the only way I could ever see D/Hr happening. ;)

Allow this line, near the beginning, to give you an excellent taste:
“Two nights ago (or possibly three?) I was lying in bed trying to reconcile to myself that my bonsai tree really wasn't getting any bigger. Sighing and turning around to stare out the window, it occurred to me that the price of tea in China had everything to do with the fact that Draco and Hermione are ultimately destined for great things.”
