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.

And the Bells Were Ringing Out by ifyouwereamelody
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
21 Dec 2022

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.
Written for the HP Festival of Stars 2022

Summary
“This isn’t working.”
She was already halfway buttoned up when she turned to face him. His slacks still unbuttoned and his shirt open around his shoulder, which he gave no indication of closing anytime soon.
Hermione rolled her eyes, continuing to do up her blouse. “We just finished. Give it a moment. Besides, I have to be—“
“No, not this,” Draco scoffs, gesturing to his open trousers. “This.”
She blinks carefully, watching his long fingers extend from his own chest to hers.Bookmarked by cleopat

Summary
In a world without Tom Riddle or Death Eaters, the wizarding class divide and prejudice still thrive. With no troll in the dungeon to solidify their friendship, Hermione Granger never forms a bond with Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. Resented and ostracised at Hogwarts for her unapologetic intellect and self-righteous superiority, Hermione spends most of her school years isolated and alone. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy moves through the school with passiveness despite his popularity, secretly burdened by the weight of his family name and a deep discontent he cannot name. When detention entangles them together, they become drawn into the same orbit and the certainty of their separate lives begins to fray. Constantly losing and finding each other in an ambiguous path, they both navigate a gravity they cannot resist.
If you’re looking for fluffy romance, this isn’t for you. This is a nuanced exploration of two flawed characters finding their way through a complicated connection. It’s a macroscopic observation of unresolved conflicts, shifting dynamics, and the grey areas of human relationships. At times, it will hurt. And it will frustrate. But above all, it will lay bare the messy, unvarnished truth of the human experience.

Summary
Hermione Granger’s wedding ceremony is gorgeous. It’s the social event of the season. Everyone is there - their families, closest friends, farthest friends, workplace acquaintances, celebrities, reporters for every newspaper and magazine. The groom’s mother is beaming proudly.
If anyone notices the bride disappearing for nearly half an hour after the ceremony and returning looking harried with her makeup smudged, nobody comments on it.

Summary
Hermione finds herself planted against the wall with Malfoy kissing a trail of fire down her skin.
“We could have that,” he croaks.
Hermione shakes her head vehemently. “They love each other. We despise each other.”
He pulls back and Hermione flinches at the expression he’s wearing. He looks like someone who has seen something terrible — eyes unfocused and face taking on a sort of stricken expression.
“We don’t need to love each other,” he says in a strangled whisper that holds the weight of words unspoken. And then in a sort of desperate plea, “We don’t even need to like each other.”

Summary
She shouldn't be here.
She shouldn't be here.
She shouldn't —
It doesn’t stop her from putting on the dress. The one she knows he’ll like. Doesn’t stop her from styling her hair, painting her eyes black. Doesn’t stop her swallowing half a bottle of wine and apparating to the steps of Ezkridis.

Summary
You gave me a tight smile when you caught me staring; your cheeks bunched into strained parenthesis. You hated when I looked at you like that, like a puzzle to solve. But I knew how hard you were trying, how even if you didn’t know what to say you always did something. That was enough for me; I thought we would be all right, Draco.
Six years after the war, Hermione parents are dying and her marriage to Draco is crumbling. Nothing seems logical in her life anymore. Her healer tells her to start writing about it, so she does, as a way to figure things out, and remind herself along the way.

Summary
He regards her with interest, cool as the ice in his G&T. “What do you want?”
On close inspection, he's a bit deadly. It's the combined power of self-regard, an open ear, and a cunningly tailored suit.
Hermione wants—
“An expiration date would be nice.” She suctions up the watery dregs and signals for more. “Let’s say I want . . . a year. Exactly one year of monogamy without the possibility of further commitment."

Summary
Draco thought it would be good for his relationship if they spent Friday evenings together instead of apart.
Somehow, in Hermione’s mind at least, that meant that he had agreed to play Dungeons and Dragons in a room filled with Gryffindors. Once that idea was in her head, there was nothing he could do about it.

Draco Malfoy had to ruin everything by asking her to grab drinks with him.
Hermione was a smart witch, she knew how to say no to a man. So why did she agree to get drinks with him at 2 pm on a Sunday?

Summary
Ron is happy. Or he should be. At the very least, he can pretend he is. He's learned over the years how to fake a smile and pretend he's satisfied.
It's a skill he will gladly perfect, because Ron and Hermione are meant to be.
That's what everyone says, so it must be true.
