"I'm fine with our arrangement. Happy even, for my own reasons, if that’s what you’re worried about. Even if it isn’t what I’ve always imagined. You should know that, at least."
It was slightly disquieting to hear her carefully chosen words.
So, Draco noted she said she was “happy” and let his hopes for their future be buoyed by her attempt at a smile.

Summary
The stars spanned out in sweeping, unimaginable distances above them. Rationality alone would have told Draco Malfoy that this was impossible, that lying here in perfect silence next to Hermione Granger could have never happened, neither in their single, fraught universe nor in all the universes that ever had or would ever come to be.
And yet he knew, because such Big Things had happened between them, things he could not even name, things so vast, so terrible and complete in their desolation, things like loss, betrayal, grief and death, that this was the most natural place in the world for them both to be. He remembered the look in Granger’s eyes at the end of his hearing all those years ago, the rush of freedom that greeted him like air, and knew then that amidst the pity, anger and that searing, shimmering hope, there was also understanding. Understanding that neither of them had to say a word to know what had to be done, to know that at the end of their story was always forgiveness.
The end, and maybe the beginning.

Summary
It's all weights and measurements, his job. A life for a life, the value of which he levies against the potential for danger. If in the end it all evens out then he walks away satisfied. A cold existence but a stable one.
And then her, and her ugly scarf, and the priceless weight of her safety in his hands. She upsets the delicate balance he's cultivated, bleeding warmth into the winter of his world, turning him into a person when all he's ever been is a weapon.

A bodygaurd fic with a reserved, hesitant Draco. Rare enjoyable use of 1st person POV.

Summary
Whilst others’ formulaic platitudes were predictable enough that he could offer half-hearted agreements, Hermione Granger was a riddle he could not decipher.
The version of him before the war, before the ugly mark on his left arm stood stark against his pale skin and the threat of death to him and his mother and father made every waking moment a nightmare, he was certain he had Granger pegged.
She was an ensemble piece to Potter. Smarter, perhaps, but still as fool-hardy and stubborn.
He couldn’t have been more wrong.
Or: Draco Malfoy traverses through his Eighth Year, changed from who he once was, and bemoaning the fact that he's falling hard for Hermione Granger.
