    Summary

    This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.

    It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).

    That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.

    Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.

    *TAGS AND CHARACTERS/PAIRINGS WILL BE CONTINUALLY UPDATED AS NEEDED UNTIL THIS IS COMPLETE*

    Summary

    “Ok, I’ll bite. What makes you so popular, then?”

    He gave her a wolfish grin and relaxed deeper into the chair, turning his palms over on the armrests to face upwards. He didn’t run a hand over his body as if to say “have you seen me?”, but the look on his face pretty much shouted it at her.

    Hermione mentally rolled her eyes to the very back of her skull. Insufferable prat. She blinked at him in a show of being very much unaffected by the absolute gorgeousness of him.

    “Unfortunately, Malfoy, the Falmouth Falcon’s bank accounts aren’t fed by people fawning over your scrawny body -“

    Draco spluttered, “Scrawny!” and frowned down at his own chest. He stopped short at flexing his biceps for her.

    ************

    Draco Malfoy is the star Seeker for the Falmouth Falcons. Well, he is for the time being, but with the Falcon’s undergoing some serious financial woes, he might be out of a job very time soon.

    Enter one Hermione Granger, reluctant PR advisor hired to clean up the team’s act and drum up some good press.

    The problem is, when these two go head to head, who will come out on top?

    Summary

    "I - I'm really sorry, I've had a kind of portkey issue - " the girl begins, her voice carefully controlled - as Tom smirks at her.

    "Really?" he says, pointedly raising an eyebrow at the offending object around her neck. "Wouldn't you rather say you've had issues with time?"

    There's a long pause, as the girl's eyes widen and she looks down at the exposed chain of the Time Turner. She mutters a curse, before sighing and saying, "So, what year is it?"

    Or alternatively
    The one in which Hermione Granger accidentally time travels into Abraxas Malfoy’s bed in the middle of the night.
