Summary
He’d been here before, somehow. With her. His mind, that was always moving, slowed.
Draco met her eyes and Granger looked as confused as he felt but they kept dancing. He closed his eyes. He felt the magic that was bursting inside him at all moments start to alleviate, leaving him not hollow, but right. Everything started to become in its right place. He felt delirious. He felt warm as if cradled by the light that was flashing behind his eyes.
***
Subversion of the Veela trope. What if the Veela's mate felt the bond before the Veela? Draco has been overwhelmed with magic and emotions and he doesn't know why.Series

Summary
Hermione becomes an Animagus just in time for the start of her 8th year. Surprise. She's a cat. While roaming Hogwarts, she comes across a very distressed Draco Malfoy. Against her better judgement, she decides to comfort him.
It turns out Draco is a cat person.

“Granger came to find me in the library today.”
She stopped purring.
He kept stroking her absently. “She said she forgives me. I don’t know how or why, but she does,” He sighed deeply. “I believe her. Maybe you’ll meet her one day. She has a lot of wild hair and she’s a swotty, annoying sort–”
WELL.
“But she’s good. She’s good, and brilliant. Pretty too. She’s always been all of that, even when she had rather large teeth.”
Well.
“Don’t worry, love. Not as pretty as you.”- Language:

Summary
“I’m joking. Merlin, you’re wild.”
She sneered. “Are you going to compare me to a wild animal because I’m a Mudblood now, Malfoy?”
Malfoy continued to polish the cauldron in front of him. “Not because you’re a Mudblood.”
She listened to the scrape of the cloth against the cast iron, round and round. He set it aside, leaned forward.
“No, at this point you’re just an animal, nowhere close to human.”
This time when she leapt for him, he was ready.or, a no Voldermort AU where Hermione is isolated, angry, and ready to draw blood. No one sets her off more than Draco Malfoy does. She has his attention and eventually his father's attention.

AITA for being "obsessed" with my childhood nemesis? by RainstormRadish for beta_vulgaris

Summary
Alrakis • I [24M] attended a small boarding school in the UK. There was a boy in my year, a couple of months younger than me, and he became my nemesis after we developed an intense rivalry. My friend [25F] told me recently that our dynamic was "weird back then" and that "it’s even weirder" that I still think about him today. She argued that I talk about him all the time, but I believe the amount I talk about him is reasonable. AITA?
prongymcprongface • i completely get what you mean. i had a nemesis (like a school one, separate to my other nemesis) and we had a dynamic super similar to what you are describing. having a nemesis is a very cool and normal thing dw about it. NTA
In which Draco asks the internet if he's being reasonable. Only one commenter is sympathetic. They start talking.
