Summary
His name was Draco Malfoy. He wrote reports. He still came to work. He did not go home. He did not sit in Theodore Nott’s chair, and no one else was allowed to either. But one day Hermione Granger is sitting in Theodore Nott's chair. Hermione Granger is rewriting his report. Hermione Granger is smoking in his office, and her ashtray is sitting in the imprint of Theodore's coffee mug.
There used to be frogs in the pond behind Malfoy Manor.
There are not anymore.After a near-death experience leaves Draco severely wounded, as well as his Auror partner and best friend Theodore Nott dead, Draco is adrift, suffering hallucinations of Theo, self-medicating through anything he can get his hands on. Hermione Granger is one of the things that he can get his hands on.

Summary
“You think that your own pain is so large and unique that you can’t see anything past it. But you can’t keep acting like I’m the villain for trying to help you live through it. You didn’t deserve Azkaban, Draco. You didn’t deserve to be a pawn in a hate group crusade. But I didn’t deserve to be tortured in your home, then have to live with the man who watched it happen, berating me as if I’m the one who should apologise because I didn’t break in the same way you did.”
Draco Malfoy is found alive in Azkaban after five years, near death. He is traumatised, unstable, furious at the world, and drowning in the ghosts of his torture. Hermione Granger, now in charge of the Deradicalisation and Reintegration department of the Ministry, discovers something she shouldn't have. Malfoy was never tried, never convicted and does not seem to exist on record.
Tasked with facilitating the rehabilitation of someone who hates her back into society, at the expense of her own personal life falling apart, it quickly becomes clear to Hermione that someone had never intended for him to escape.
A tale of two deeply flawed, deeply sad individuals and the pain that binds them together. This is not a happy story.

Summary
Expelled from Hogwarts for using dark magic as a last resort, Hermione goes to the only place that will take someone tainted by the shadow; Durmstrang, where knowledge is a blade, obedience is a ritual, and survival is a quiet, daily act of defiance. Enthralled by the intimate violence of the Dark Arts more than she cares to admit to herself, Hermione must learn the architecture of power all over again.
Then Draco Malfoy arrives, carrying a darkness that surpasses even Durmstrang's propensity for cruelty. Draco is hiding something. Something that festers in the space between the boy he was and the cruel stranger he has become. She tells herself she needs the truth to stay safe. But the truth feels perilously close to obsession.
Hermione must choose who she intends to become in a place where the line between student and monster blurs with every lesson. Durmstrang can break her, or it can remake her, but it will not leave her untouched.
(Not abandoned, just on pause until i finish Please, Just Live!)

Summary
“To the Giant of Flea Bottom,
Do not think this is over. I have paid three men in the Reach to follow you. If you sleep, they will be watching. If you eat, they will be counting the bites. If you find yourself some common omega wench that you’ve fallen in love with, I want their fingers brought to me in a box of salt. You are a stain on the laws of gods and men, and I will watch you rot from across the world.
— A.T.”
Dunk is only trying to be of honorable service, but his travels are constantly interrupted by “hate” letters from a certain exiled prince across the Narrow Sea.

Summary
"The way that you can tell a person is good is by how well they make things right again after they’ve been bad."
-John Steinbeck, East of Eden
Hermione Granger had found a semi-satisfactory sense of solace after the war in the best way she knew how: immersing herself in the muggle world and avoiding the people and places that triggered emotions she'd long since suppressed. Until one night when a familiar head of platinum hair is wheeled through the doors of the ICU on her night shift, bleeding, unconscious, and forever shattering the walls she'd built around herself.
Years later, she's still putting the pieces back together.

Summary
Nobody has seen Draco Malfoy in several years. When he shows up in Hermione's office looking fit as hell and asking for her help with some rather awkward symptoms, she's only too happy to assist. But, well, what kind of researcher would she be if she didn't conduct some... experiments... along the way?

Summary
This year, Draco Malfoy absolutely cannot find the strength to attend the Christmas festivities organised by his mother in Britain. He simply can’t.
Instead he’ll enjoy some well deserved vacation at a luxurious muggle resort on the coast of Brazil while slurping Caipirinha. Yes. That sounds like the perfect plan.
It was the perfect plan, until the swot extraordinaire, Defender of the Poors and Oppressed : I call Hermione Granger appears.
Draco then sets a devious plan to get rid of her…
Enjoy White Lotus meets Christmas Elf in this short Dramione story.

Summary
“I thought you never wanted to see me again.” She said, voice low. Her traitorous eyes falling to his lips.
“And I thought I told you to stay away from Death Eaters.”
She fixed her gaze back up at him. Beneath the arrogance she could see fear in his eyes and it caused her to narrow her own. “You know something, don’t you.”
He didn’t answer, just gripped her harder. She closed the remaining space between them. “There’s something more going on here. I know there is. And don’t you dare—for a moment—think that I will walk away from a story this big just because we have a history. You either help me Malfoy, or stay the hell out of my way.”
