Summary
When the time comes, Harry Potter really wants to be a good lover. The only problem? He can’t trust anyone to show him the ropes without risking his face splashed across the Daily Prophet.
Until his best friend makes him an offer he can’t refuse.
“He swallowed. ‘Why?’
Her voice softened. ‘Because it’s a gift I can give you. Something only I can. And because… I want to. I want to be the one who helps you feel safe. Desired. I want to be the person you remember helped you figure it out.’”
Set during the long, quiet summer after eighth year, The Summer Between is the story of how Harry and Hermione — best friends, battle-forged, tender and tangled — decide to explore intimacy as practice, never expecting it to become the one thing neither of them can surrender.

Summary
“If you leave now you'll no longer be a Malfoy,” his father shouted, drawing his wand and pointing it at Draco's chest.
“Good,” Draco shouted back, his left hand forming a fist around a slip of paper bearing his Aunt's address.
His mother grabbed at her husband's arm, tears flowing down her cheeks. Draco took one last long look at her, then closed his eyes and twisted on the spot. He disapparated with a crack.
A disinherited Draco Black (formerly Malfoy) returns to Hogwarts for an optional eighth year having transferred to Ravenclaw. He's completely unaware that a certain bushy-haired, muggleborn witch has also been granted a fresh start in his new house.

Summary
"You wanna come?" Syd asks, tilting her head. "See me home safe."
"It'd make me feel better to know you got in okay," Richie says with a grin, and Syd makes a big show of ushering him into the car first. On the way back to her apartment, she tucks himself into his side, and he lets his chin rest against her forehead.
