Summary
He and Granger had abided by their clearly established roles for the last 7 years, and now suddenly she had not only changed the rules but upended the metaphorical game board. Draco had enough on his mind, enough to deal with, without adding a potentially volatile Granger into the mix.
She had been despondent, yelled at him, backed down from their typical tête-à-tête, apologised to him, accused him of being nice, laughed like she was unhinged, thanked him, smiled at him, touched him, then collapsed inward and fled.
She was a living, breathing tornado. He didn't know if he was supposed to be offended, grateful, concerned, or intrigued by the whole situation, but he was pretty sure that he was all of those things and some others he couldn't quite put a finger on yet. It was all dizzying and incredibly distracting.
Or... The war is over. Hermione and Draco both find themselves back at Hogwarts for eighth year — alone in a castle full of people, haunted by the past and present — their wounds still unhealed. For now.

Summary
Taking a breath to settle her nerves, and her wand in hand, she set about repairing the vase. It was an old piece, not as ornate as others she had come to own. But it had held the endless parade of flowers her grandmother taught her to name when she was a girl.
As she watched the pieces fit themselves back together she wondered how many times a thing could stand to break before it simply refused to mend.

Summary
“One of the joys of residing in an ancestral estate is the wealth of power it offers to draw from,” Lucius added as he began the smudging, first encircling the altar, then making his way toward the door to the visitation chamber. “One tiny summoning per year is a pittance when compared to the benefits the ancestors bestow when appeased. And of course, we do greatly prefer to avoid the unpleasant consequences that result from failed appeasement…” he trailed off, distance seeping into his gaze.
OR... Some families have fun Halloween traditions. The Malfoys are not among them...

Summary
“If there is anything at all you need,” he said softly, but firmly. “Any matters that need seeing to… You just say the word.” It was an understated offer, punctuated with enough solemnity that he was certain Granger would infer his meaning. After all, she knew better than most people of his professional proclivities and unique ability to make problems disappear without a paper trail.
Or... After five years of miscommunication and unspoken truths, Draco Malfoy finds himself in a Sisyphean hell of his own making, only to discover the gate had been unlocked the whole time.

Protocol S02 – Voluntary Supportive Surrender: A Death Eater who wishes to renounce their former allegiances and fight for the resistance.
“Do you have a sponsor? If not, one will be appointed to you at random.” She glanced up; the fear and desperation in Malfoy’s eyes sank right through her ribs and squeezed like a fist around her heart.
He shook his head.
It may have been adrenaline, her overabundant empathy, or just plain reckless stupidity, but she signed her name on the sponsor line at the bottom of the form and set the clipboard down. She swallowed the lump in her throat. “Right, well, I suppose you'll be coming with me then.”
OR... Draco teaches Hermione the joys of being a Muggle.

Summary
Draco eased himself onto the mattress beside her and as the desolation that was his body met the heat of hers, he began to wake. He reached for her and with his eyes closed he could almost see the contours of her like ley lines, glimmering with her magic and something even more significant. He pulled her closer, his arm coiling around her waist.
“I missed you, love,” he whispered, with barely enough force to stir the air into sound.
Or... Draco returns home, but something is different this time...
