Summary
Hermione Granger is 27 years old when her life falls apart. Cheated-on, flatless, fed up with her job, she decides to change one thing she can--take a class and try for some career advancement. But change is never easy, especially when an old enemy is the catalyst.
And the class instructor.
"Just as the minute hand clicked over to the hour, the doorknob twisted and a figure slipped into the room. He was tall, a bit windblown. Hermione had a general impression of crisp cuffs and polished leather, and then a more specific one of the most beautiful grey coat—highlighting his shoulders and eyes, skimming to just the right place on his knife creased trousers.
His movements were precise and confident.
He was wearing the softest-looking gloves.
He was not Professor Belinda Rowle.
He was Draco bloody Malfoy."Series

Super cute Dramione. Light angst lots of fluff and downright hilarious. Harry/Draco bromance and Slytherins mixing with Gryffindors and Ravenclaw!

Summary
It's a year since Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy parted in Italy with promises of love and fidelity. The Battle of Hogwarts is over and Voldemort is dead. And although the price paid was high, Hermione is ready to start the rest of her life, and her eighth year studies, with Draco by her side. No hiding and no shame.
But when Draco finally arrives at Hogwarts, it's obvious that things are very wrong. Why is he acting so strangely? And what happened during the long months he lived as a double agent, passing secrets from the Death Eaters to the Order?
No one is talking, but Hermione will get to the truth, even if it means breaking her own heart in the process.If Bending Light was the warm, lazy Italian summer, this is the dark, brooding Scottish winter. Dress warmly.

Summary
Hermione was often the one who thought things through. Always had a strategy in mind with an end in sight, and never willingly put herself in risky situations unless otherwise necessary. But as she stood here in the boys' lavatory with Draco Malfoy's back to her, she didn't have the faintest clue on what to do.
A Canon Divergent AU where Hermione is the one who confronts Draco in the boy's lavatory. PostHBP HG/DM

Reddit's 2023 Top Dramione Fics: Seventh place for Enemies to Lovers
"Choices are the hinges of destiny." - Edwin Markham
Hermione didn't choose to be a witch and Draco didn't choose to be given a suicide mission. But in a world where they lacked agency, what if they chose one another?
A sliding-doors like reimagining of 6th year through the end of the war.
----
"You left her!" Draco roared, following Weasley to where he fell. "She begged you to stay, and you left her!"
"You don’t know what it was like,” Weasley said, almost too soft to hear.
A crazed, humorless laugh tore from Draco's lips. "I don't care what it was like. You were supposed to stay with her!"
"I just kept having these dark and terrible thoughts…."
"I'm not your fucking mind-healer, Weasley," Draco growled, marching towards him again. "She begged you, you fucking coward."
“I know,” Weasley finally said.
“You don’t deserve her,” Draco hissed and leveled his wand. "Obliviate".

Freaking phenomenal story of Draco changing. More medium than slow burn. We love a pining Draco Malfoy
