    Summary

    Hermione becomes an Animagus just in time for the start of her 8th year. Surprise. She's a cat. While roaming Hogwarts, she comes across a very distressed Draco Malfoy. Against her better judgement, she decides to comfort him.

    It turns out Draco is a cat person.

    “Granger came to find me in the library today.”
    She stopped purring.
    He kept stroking her absently. “She said she forgives me. I don’t know how or why, but she does,” He sighed deeply. “I believe her. Maybe you’ll meet her one day. She has a lot of wild hair and she’s a swotty, annoying sort–”
    WELL.
    “But she’s good. She’s good, and brilliant. Pretty too. She’s always been all of that, even when she had rather large teeth.”
    Well.
    “Don’t worry, love. Not as pretty as you.”

    Summary

    Draco can’t tell you exactly when the noise began. Perhaps it has been around for as long as he’s been conceptually aware of sound, or able to identify the impact of pain. What he can tell you is that it’s unrelenting—this terrible buzzing, growling thing that absorbs all the space in his mind and pushes at the edges of his fledgling sanity.

    --

    “I lied to you once.”

    “Oh?”

    “It is quiet sometimes. The noise. It’s quiet right now.”

    Summary

    Hermione gains an unwanted assistant for her self-defense class and gets more than she bargained for. Come for the bickering and banter, stay for Draco's forearms and Hermione's library obsession.

    “Look, Potter,” Draco said, “I either get the month off work, or I have to quit. My family responsibilities come first.”

    With a sigh that turned into an exasperated groan, Head Auror Harry tapped his quill thoughtfully. Then his green eyes narrowed with a sly look.

    “I’ll approve it, Malfoy,” he said, “on one condition.”

    “I’m not sure you’re in a position to—”

    “Until May, you’ll be aiding Senior Undersecretary Granger with her self-defense classes.”

    Draco and Hermione gasped in horror simultaneously.

    Summary

    The owl squeezed itself through the rusting bars of his Azkaban cell and flew to the ground, hooting in triumph and waddling around on the dusty floor. Draco grasped the owl gently in his fist to still it, then withdrew the letter from the mail bag.

    His heart thudded. Who was contacting him? His mother? Pansy? Not one of the Death Eaters, surely?

    Then he unrolled the page and let out a disbelieving huff.

    It was a fucking survey.

    Well. They wanted a response? He’d give them one.

    • On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 4 (very), how clean are Azkaban’s facilities? — Fuck you
    • On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 4 (very), how humane has your treatment been at Azkaban? — Fuck this
    • Any additional comments? — Fuck off

    P.S. Your owl is insane

    Summary

    Hermione remained perfectly still. She’d forgotten how to breathe. How to blink. How to exist inside her own skin.

    She experienced a peculiar sensation while frozen in her own body, a sort of reality-bending tingle. It manifested like a pit in her stomach, a gaping maw not unlike a black hole devouring her alive. She would soon become a singularity at this rate.

    In this place, she was a singularity. Singular.
