Summary
The first three chapters will be presented as Daily Prophet articles, dripping with scandal and whispers — and let it be known, Rita Skeeter is hardly a journalist one can trust.
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy was presumed dead—disintegrated by a strange spell witnessed by only a few. But eight years later, he is discovered alive in the dungeons of Azkaban, wearing a tattered prison uniform marked only with a number.
Now, he faces trial for all his alleged crimes, with no one to speak in his defence.
With his parents exiled and banned from returning to the wizarding world, his solicitor—assigned to the case for just a week—finds his hands tied when it comes to building a proper defence. But in a sudden turn of events, a last-minute witness steps forward, and long-buried secrets begin to surface.
Will justice prevail? Is Draco truly innocent?
And why does Hermione Granger keep dreaming about him—and a little girl with silver hair—every single night?

Summary
When a late-night Patronus interrupts the chaos of the Auror Office, Draco Malfoy doesn’t hesitate. Hermione Granger’s been attacked—and while she survives, the aftermath is far from clean. Her memories are gone. Not the magic, not the brilliance—but every shared glance, every scar, every sharp-edged truth between them.
Draco is assigned to keep her safe. It's meant to be temporary. Professional. Detached.
But memory is a fickle thing, and the threat hunting her is more deeply embedded than anyone at the Ministry dares admit. As secrets rise and loyalties fray, Draco must protect the one person who once knew him too well—and now doesn’t know him at all.
Not yet.

Summary
Hogwarts was a prison and everyone in it was a prisoner.
Secrets meant more than people's lives; they ran deep, so deep that they rotted beneath the stones of Hogwarts, and love—if there was any at all—was just another curse.... Hermione, Snape's daughter, was cursed by it... Draco Malfoy, the one who was under her father's protection, was her curse. They couldn't be together; they shouldn't be together but their love was immovable.

Summary
Some say there’s not much to life at all. You’re born, you live, and you die. But what about everything in-between? Life isn’t that simple, not in their eyes at least.
Hermione felt life had dealt her the worst of blows. Having been through a war as a Hogwarts student, becoming a healer at St. Mungo’s hospital after, then losing the man she loved. She had become a shell of who she used to be. The bright, forgiving and clever 'golden girl' had gone, replaced by a cold and empty woman pondering if it was worth living at all. All she felt was hate and heartbreak, going about life unchecked and uncaring as she hunted death eaters and traitors alike.
Draco is trying to turn his life around, but the wizarding community just couldn't understand he had changed. No longer a 'death eater', he now worked as an auror after losing his wife. Harry Potter has accepted him and for both their family's sakes they display a level of civility, but there are always those dragging Draco back into his past and he hated it. Would an unsolved case they were working on turn out to be the end for Draco? Or would it change the course of everything the future held for him...

Summary
Draco dragged her blade down his throat, nicking his collarbone as he went, and didn’t stop until he had the blade of Hermione’s knife pressing above his heart.
“Go ahead, love,” he whispered, a faint smile playing on his lips. “It’s yours anyways.”
He took a deep breath, which pressed the knife further into his chest, the tip digging into his skin.
“Do it, Granger,” he goaded her as he let go of her wrist. “Kill me.”

Summary
Hermione proposes a mission for herself: don the mask of a notorious Death Eater, infiltrate Voldemort's ranks, and finally end the war that should have never begun. But as she descends into the labyrinth, her mind begins to fracture. She finds herself haunted by fragments of lives she might’ve lived, battles she cannot remember, and the enigma of a man whose presence threatens to unravel her completely.
And the worst of it, she realizes, is the unbearable truth: he is good.
Draco Malfoy was never meant to be good.
He has always felt like a pendulum clock swung askew, unable to settle on which side he belongs to. He is the very embodiment of a coin with two faces, Light and Dark, destined to spin for eternity. He has never let fate play her hand. He will always bend the will of the gods to service his own survival.
Goodness in him isn’t light, isn’t warmth. It is the precision of cut-glass honesty so brutal that when it shatters, it leaves splinters buried like cactus spines beneath her skin. He does not offer refuge, because unlike her, he never flinches at the truth’s ugliness.
She hates him for it.
But she envies him for it, too.

Summary
Six years have passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. Six years of broken hearts, lost loves, and new beginnings.
Hermione Granger stepped out of the magical world in 1998 and has refused to return, only keeping in contact with the Potters and Weasleys, and for good reason. Her son is her life, and she'd do anything to protect him, especially from the world and people that had wanted to eradicate her from it.
Things begin to change when alarming attacks on Muggles begin emerging around London, and no one knows the cause or the perpetrator. Secrets long buried threaten to upend Hermione's peaceful existence as a single mother. And problems she'd distanced herself from suddenly require her attention again.
She's not prepared herself for her son's exposure to the magical world, but she may not have a choice as a resurgence of dark magic is brought to her doorstep. And the person most equipped to protect her is someone she'd been avoiding with her departure from the wizarding world.
Draco sodding Malfoy.

During the First War, Lucius Malfoy pledged his loyalty to the Dark Lord. While others swore to kill for the cause, Lucius offered something more—his family’s mastery of the Mind Arts.
As the Dark Lord returns to power once more, Draco Malfoy finds himself confined to the family's Cannes chateau for fifty long days. With little more than schoolwork and Professor Snape’s Occlumency exercises to distract him, Draco wades deeper and deeper into the unknown.

Summary
The first time Cedric died, it had been unexpected – too sudden, too loud. A flash of green, a stolen breath, a moment of confusion. No time to be afraid, not really. Just the violent clarity of an end. His end.
But this time, death came slow, wearing the face of inescapability.
It gave him time to think. Too much time, perhaps.
---
Cedric would die tonight.
But it would not be the peaceful kind.
