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.

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.

Soulmates? Preposterous. Soulmates with Draco Malfoy? Hermione would sooner believe that Voldemort had miraculously come back from the dead than entertain such a thought.
Why, then, did her heart beat an irregular rhythm whenever she caught sight of him?
Or: ‘I can’t believe they’re soulmates!’

Summary
She is overwhelmed, liable to combust, really, at the way his hands press into the small of her back. He smooths his thumb over her cheekbone when they’re catching their breath, and she’s startled by the almost adoring look that paints his gaze. Before she can have more time to think about it, he’s lifting her up on a table strewn with linens.
“This is as good of a height as any,” he says, his tone mischievous.
Her brows furrow. “For what?”
His damnable grin (it’s a bit crooked and it will take her five more years to admit it’s her favourite part of his face) spreads wide, and then he taps the inside of her knee with his thumb.
Or: Hermione Granger has a hand kink.

Draco returns to Hogwarts to complete his 8th year, only to find that he shares almost his entire schedule with Hermione Granger. Oddly enough, she doesn't seem to hate him as he thought she would.
This is one of my first attempts at fluff with no stuff. Just a feel-good piece.

Summary
Draco's mother marrying a Muggle -- in Australia, of all places -- was frankly unbelievable. But even was more troubling was he just couldn't shake the feeling he *knew* the man from somewhere. But how could Draco Malfoy know a random Muggle from bloody Australia? And why did the man's curls remind him so very much of his perpetually infuriated (and easily nettled) co-worker, Hermione Granger?
-- Yet another ”feuding rival co-workers discover they are step-siblings, stage a fake-relationship to fool an amnesiac parent, share a single bed and disagree about the existence of any resemblance between the villain in Die Hard and their former potions master before finding love over the holidays” fic. You know, the usual fare.

Summary
“Granger. Granger! Wake up.”
Hermione’s awareness came to her slowly. Someone was shaking her by the shoulder and speaking very loudly in her ear. She slowly opened her eyes and the shouting figure before her resolved into a blond man with grey ey — hang on.
“Malfoy?” she asked incredulously. “What — where am I?”
“I don’t know,” he said, sounding resigned. “I just woke up a moment ago myself.”
Hermione sat upright. She was on a stone floor. She looked around her surroundings and saw that she was inside of a stone room with no windows or doors. Moving quickly, she discovered that her hip was sore — presumably from lying on the hard ground. Hermione instinctively reached for her wand and found it wasn’t there. She started running her hands over her clothing, trying to locate it.
“I don’t have my wand either.” Malfoy said. “I think whoever left us here took them both.”
Hermione Granger hadn't even seen Draco Malfoy since she testified at his trial over a year ago. Who on earth would lock them in a room, especially in a room together? And why?

Summary
“Or you’ll die. Really.”
Hermione put all the derision she was capable of projecting colour those words, allowing it to just hang in the air.
“Granger, you have no idea the impact those periwinkle ruffles had on me,” Draco said defensively, before immediately looking at his feet again — the bloody coward.
She scoffed. “Ha! I think you saw your first exposed collarbone and it broke your brain.”
Blaise turned to Draco. “I mean, she’s not wrong, mate. That’s basically what happened.”
“Shut it, Zabini. Granger, I realise I’m not your favourite person and I understand why this is hard for you to accept —”
“You just told me you made an Unbreakable Vow in bloody fourth year — something that Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dumbass over here helped with — that you would have sex with me before you graduated from Hogwarts. And now if you don’t shag me in the next few days, you'll die. Not just sex with someone, full stop, mind you. It has to be sex with me. Muggle-born, notorious swot and insufferable know-it-all Hermione Jean Granger. Me.”
Draco swallowed. “Yes. It has to be you.”
“I call bullshit.”
8th Year Fuck or Die AU. Enjoy!

Summary
“Granger,” Draco said politely with a nod as he hung up his coat and sat behind his desk in their shared office.
“Malfoy,” she said with exaggerated emphasis, looking up from the parchment in her hands as she sat across from him at her own desk. “Long lunch?”
Draco blinked, confused by her inflection. “Ah, yes. I was running errands. What are you reading?”
“Oh Theo dropped off some reports and this one is fascinating. I started reading and got so caught up in it that I forgot to take lunch altogether.” Her smile was wide but it emphatically did not reach her eyes. He felt his stomach drop.
“Oh?” Draco asked, trying to sound casual as he ignored his growing anxiety. “What’s it about?”
Her smile turned vicious as she glared daggers at him. “Oh, let me read it to you. List of cons when considering the unlikely possibility of dating the Golden Girl herself, Hermione Granger.”
Fuck.

Summary
Draco is certain Hermione Granger would keep her room the same way she keeps herself. Prim and proper, like the perfect poster prefect she is. She even has the alliteration down. But when he walks into the Head Girl's dorm to find crumpled parchment and empty gin bottles littering the place rather than colour-coded studying schedules, he thinks he might be wrong.
Of snark and Firewhiskey, letters and museums, and, as is customary, first kisses.
Written for the Sounds Like Dramione competition, 2021.

Summary
She wore that Granger expression, the one that said she was going to bully someone into something. Draco had a bad feeling it was about to be him. “I’ll marry you,” Hermione said.
“Don’t be ridiculous.”
“I’m not doing it for free. I marry you, then after a year we divorce and you agree to fund S.P.E.A.M.B. In perpetuity.”
“Out of the question.”
“It’s just one year. We would both get what we want.”
“Contracted marriages require consummation,” he said, adding a leer for good measure.
Granger had gotten more attractive since their Hogwarts days, he would give her that much. Her jumper was atrocious, though. He had half a mind to burn it.
To his everlasting shock, she merely shrugged. “It’s just sex. I’ve had it before and I presume you have too.”
She was utterly serious. Draco stared at her and contemplated being married to her. She was irritating and he might make her promise to never wear that jumper again, but it was better than the alternative.
Draco would do just about anything to avoid being poor.
“You’re serious?”
“Completely.”
“Then congratulations, Granger. You've got yourself a husband.”
