    Summary

    The audacity of Ron Weasley breaking up with Hermione Granger should be the most shocking display of the night.

    It is not.

    That distinction goes to the band of Slytherins she stumbles upon performing in a pub, with Draco Malfoy on lead guitar.

    He might only be attending university because his post–War sentence requires it, but Draco’s plan is simple: enjoy the distance from his father and pull witches.

    That doesn’t change when Hermione Granger shows up looking unfairly fit at one of his band’s gigs.
    After being stung by her rejection, he decides that the only way to get her out from under his skin is to shag her.

    Perhaps even more shocking—as a string of dark attacks places Hermione at the center of a dangerous mystery, Draco repeatedly finds himself drawn to protect her.

     

    Set post–eighth year, this university fic—book 1 of a duology—keeps most canon plot intact but spares a few characters who didn’t make it out of The War. Inspired by a fever dream and The Strokes, every chapter title is a song from their discography, and any lyrics featured belong to them, aside from an occasional edit to align with the wizarding world.

    Summary

    Six years into the war.

    Hermione Granger has honed herself into a lethal weapon, presiding over a woman-run task force called X alongside Luna, Ginny, and Lavender. Only called into battle when their soldiers are in need of relief, and the need to preserve life dwindles, the girls cut through Death Eater defense lines with ease, leaving little to nothing left behind.

    Despite their greatest efforts, Voldemort continues to gain power, ruling over Europe and sealing it off from the rest of the world. With chaos, bloodshed, and now the imminent threat of dragons, Hermione has found herself captured by Cassiopeia Malfoy, Draco Malfoy's twin sister.

    With her back against the wall and blood on her hands, she is thrown into a world of great uncertainty. How did the Malfoys obtain dragons? Why is Voldemort growing stronger? Why can she speak to the third, hidden dragon underground, and why does Draco Malfoy look at her like that?

    With dragons taking to the skies and a forced betrothal breathing down her neck. This is the story of how Hermione Granger fell in love with the Order's greatest enemy.

    Summary

    The whole thing—the complete lack of care from anyone involved—is starting to really grind on Draco Malfoy.

    So, after four days of Granger mysteriously failing to show up at work, Draco does what any morally ambiguous, mildly concerned coworker would do: he breaks into her office. After all, a witch like her doesn’t just vanish without leaving a color-coded memo detailing the reasons of her absence.

    But what he finds is a hell of a lot messier than any of her labels.

    Summary


    "All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
    (From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)

    This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.
