Summary
They didn’t talk about the fight or the mission or the night she’d stormed into his room full of fire and left wrung out with something dangerously close to tenderness. But the way his eyes found her now made it clear he hadn’t forgotten a single word and neither had she.
Because despite everything, she kept waking up wanting more. More of his quiet. More of his anger. His laugh, rare and crooked. His body, pressed to hers like it might hold her together when everything else kept trying to split her apart. She told herself it was proximity. Adrenaline. The slow, shared ache of surviving a war that didn’t leave room for softness. But when she lay awake at night, staring at the crack in the ceiling above her bed, it was his face she saw. She hated how easy it was, how inevitable it had begun to feel, to imagine herself tangled in him again.
And again.
And again.

Summary
Hermione Granger didn't really expect to live through the war, or at least she hadn't planned for what would come after. Now that it was over, she had to figure out how to move on and what to do next.
She decided to focus on a number of personal projects. Getting her NEWTs. Becoming an Animagus. Figuring out who she really was by doing whatever she wanted.
As part of her progress towards that last part, she let herself get distracted by Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott, and ended up doing a lot of things she'd never done before.
