Summary
Sixteen Years ago Draco Malfoy lost the girl because he didn't have a plan. It's not a mistake he's going to make twice.
Hermione Granger has no plans on making the same mistakes twice, either, and as far as she is concerned, Draco Malfoy was definitely a mistake.
They have just seven sessions to unweave the past from the present. Seven sessions in which they both want to figure out a way to move on with their lives. However, Draco is determined that he'll be doing it with Hermione by his side, and Hermione is sure it will after she finally allows herself to say goodbye.
NOTE: This is the second fic in this series. You need to read the first to have this make any sense.

Summary
Sixteen years ago, Hermione Granger removed herself from Draco Malfoy's memory. She never expected to see him again.
If he hadn't kept journals of their time together, she might have been right.
***
“Hello, Kit.”
Her intuition and Sneakascope had both failed her. The deep voice that reverberated around her office wasn’t that of an administrator. And it called her a name she hadn’t heard in 16 years.
One that heralded danger.
She didn’t turn. Couldn’t turn. There was no way her eyes could confirm what her brain already knew. Besides, she’d already been bled, vomited and sweated on; she didn’t need to add her own tears to the mix.
“So it’s true then?” the voice continued, “Curious.”

Summary
In which Tom Riddle is a charming, manipulative mastermind, Draco Malfoy's hands are soaked in blood and Hermione Granger can't remember a life beyond suffering.
Or the Time Turner fix-it attempt that goes horribly awry. With all hope lost, Hermione turns to desperate measures to rid the world of Voldemort and his crimes, but she doesn't count on a Death Eater hitching a ride to the past or her target being quite so alluring.
At its heart this is Dramione, but it's a hell of a slow burn.
Complete!

Summary
“Alright, listen up, folks! Snow’s really coming down now, and I’m sorry to be saying it but the pass in’t safe to use. Looks like we’re all stuck here ‘til it can be cleared. That’s gonna be tomorrow at the earliest.”
The rest of the pub breaks out into chatter, but Hermione just sits there, muted, struck dumb in more ways than one with not a thought in her head other than
oh...
god.
All Hermione was looking for was a nice, Christmassy evening with Ginny. Instead, she gets an ex, a snowstorm, and a whole heap of buried emotions brought back to the surface. Wrap up — there's a blizzard on the way.

Summary
“You talk less than you used to,” she tries again when he doesn’t reply, because she never shied away from saying the unspoken thing before, and she has no intention of letting that be something else the war’s taken from her.
Even his laughter is muted, just a quick puff of breath through his nose.
“You talk more,” he counters. “I didn’t think that was possible.”
Seven months have passed since the Battle of Hogwarts, but the chaos of it still runs riot in Hermione's head, forcing its way out and disrupting her life in any way it can. Draco Malfoy, in stark contrast, has been laid quiet and unmoving by the war — an echo of his former self. Throw in a 12-hour road trip home for the holidays, a few disrupted plans, and a bit of Christmas music, and things are bound to get interesting.
