Summary
Hermione is familiar with fighting: for respect, for attention, for justice. She’s even made a career of it; working on behalf of creatures and beings. But her battle against the Ministry’s marriage law is one she loses. Badly. And now, she has to contend with not only public derision and patriarchal politics, but her growing feelings for her government-mandated spouse.

Summary
How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.
The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.
Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?Series

Summary
“Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”
The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.
Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.
Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.
[This story begins in third year and updates Sundays and Tuesdays.]

Summary
Draco Malfoy is sentenced to five years probation following the Battle of Hogwarts, including the onerous task of completing weekly group therapy sessions. Trapped in England, he finds himself sitting in a shitty conference room in St. Mungo’s every week across from his newly-ex girlfriend along with his friends that abandoned him at the height of the war. He doesn’t think life can get much worse, until Hermione Granger starts showing up. She’s hiding something, and if there is anything Draco will not abide, it is a Gryffindor with a secret…
OR:
Draco Malfoy gets splinched being nosy and strikes up an odd relationship with certified killer, Hermione Granger.
CW throughout for suicidal ideation, alcohol abuse, graphic injuries, panic attacks, and overall angst
This is nearly completely written, estimated to be 60k+ words. The first half is a whole lot of misery. No one is happy and I think that's pretty normal for traumatized teenagers, but better days are coming. I appreciate comments as you read along, and find me on Bluesky for drabbles and updates!

Summary
How much control does she actually have over this narrative? Ginny refuses to be the hero’s prize at the end of his trials. She wants to obliterate that old inner voice of hers, the one that had smothered her under the guise of survival:
Don't be emotional, don't nag, don't be the needy, weepy love interest who begs the boy to stay with her. You're a distraction, you're a liability, you're collateral. Know your place.
Ginny is so tired. But she’s always found her comfort in chaos.
