Summary
After The Battle of Hogwarts Draco Malfoy went into hiding, fleeing trial. 10 years later he's found and sentenced to exile. He takes to wandering the Edinburgh streets feeling hopeless and alone. One cold October night he wanders into a small coffee shop that just so happens to be owned by Hermione Granger, who disappeared from the Wizarding World shortly after the war, choosing to live off the grid in the muggle world.
Hermione isn't ready to forgive him, but Draco is ready to change. The two form an unlikely friendship that slowly blossoms into something more. But when a poisoning plot of supposed vigilantes who aren't too happy about a former Death Eater walking free starts to threaten the quiet life they've built together, Hermione and Draco must call upon friends old and new to help them.

Summary
In a world without Tom Riddle or Death Eaters, the wizarding class divide and prejudice still thrive. With no troll in the dungeon to solidify their friendship, Hermione Granger never forms a bond with Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. Resented and ostracised at Hogwarts for her unapologetic intellect and self-righteous superiority, Hermione spends most of her school years isolated and alone. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy moves through the school with passiveness despite his popularity, secretly burdened by the weight of his family name and a deep discontent he cannot name. When detention entangles them together, they become drawn into the same orbit and the certainty of their separate lives begins to fray. Constantly losing and finding each other in an ambiguous path, they both navigate a gravity they cannot resist.
If you’re looking for fluffy romance, this isn’t for you. This is a nuanced exploration of two flawed characters finding their way through a complicated connection. It’s a macroscopic observation of unresolved conflicts, shifting dynamics, and the grey areas of human relationships. At times, it will hurt. And it will frustrate. But above all, it will lay bare the messy, unvarnished truth of the human experience.

Summary
When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a mandatory Eighth Year, she is grateful for the pause — a chance to recover from the war and the nightmares that still plague her. Determined to find happiness and enjoy her final year, Hermione expects healing to be quiet. But of course it isn’t. This is Hogwarts. A small group of Slytherins approach her in confidence, asking her to help Draco Malfoy before it’s too late. Hermione is forced to make a choice — one that pulls her back into old tensions, dangerous secrets, and the unsettling realization that some of the most brutal battles are fought inside one’s mind.

Summary
When Hermione Granger is asked to transfer temporarily into the Magical Games and Sports Department to lend her name to re-elected Kingsley’s platform promises, she expects little more than bureaucracy and bruised egos. But when she investigates the next team on the list, she finds herself tangled in much more than quidditch politics. Especially when two familiar Slytherins start getting under her skin.

Summary
Hermione did the best she could once the war ended. She returned to school, became a successful healer and researcher, got married, and hasn't raised her wand in a defensive way in years. But the nightmares still come. Her marriage to Ron is floundering, and each day, she loses a little more of herself to a life she never quite imagined.
In order to get her marriage on the right track and prove that she's desirable, she accompanies Theo to the club he's part owner of. Once inside, she discovers more than just a kink or two that's been repressed within her. She discovers that perhaps she's not the bookish prude she's always thought she was. And maybe reclaiming herself and her happiness will be the best way to finally heal her traumatized past.“Tell me the last time Weasley made you come so hard you thought about it for weeks.”
I couldn’t.
“Tell me about an experience that left you fully sated.”
I couldn’t.
“Come to Nox, Hermione. You’ve fucking earned it.”
I couldn’t.

Summary
They didn’t choose each other. They were assigned.
When an unwelcome partnership program forces Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger together, resentment is inevitable. What isn’t expected is the slow unraveling of certainty — rivalry giving way to trust, trust giving way to stolen moments, and stolen moments becoming something dangerous and deeply wanted.
Beginning at fifteen and following them into adulthood, this is a story about hope found in secret, love chosen in defiance of fear, and the quiet courage it takes to follow the heart instead of the mind in a world determined to teach you otherwise.
This is their love story.

Summary
Draco expected his Eighth Year to be a gauntlet of sneers and isolation—and frankly, he preferred it that way. Because his dorm mate wasn't a Dementor, or worse, his father, and that was the most he could ask for.
He wanted everyone to just leave him the fuck alone.
But then one of Hogwart's lingering ghosts decides to blackmail him to break a generational curse, the Boy Wonder is constantly bugging him for drugs he does not have, he is suddenly responsible for tutoring a shy First Year, Moaning Myrtle is moaning for him a little too much now, and worst of all...
The Golden Girl had to fall prey to a conniving merboy's ulterior motives, and now she's accidentally cursed them both to swap lungs with a mermaid until they find their way out of their slippery situation.
~~~
ORShit hits the fan, and Hermione and Draco realize just how intertwined and wet their Eighth Year will be.

The War of the Malfoys by MissiAmphetamine (Kaleidoscope)
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
When a pandemic of Runespoor Fever sweeps through the wizarding world at the end of 2003, leaving a full quarter of its victims infertile, the International Confederation of Wizards takes drastic action. A marriage and reproductive law is enacted, throwing the wizarding world into upheaval.
Lightly inspired by the 1989 film The War of the Roses, (but without the animal death,) and our own recent pandemic.
She was wearing one of her neat, buttoned-up outfits as always; brown herringbone trousers and a silky cream blouse that covered her from throat to wrist, her hair braided around her head but not quite as neat as usual. He stopped several feet from her and frowned. “Why do you smell of smoke, Granger?”
“Does it really matter, Malfoy?” She skewered him with a glare, arms folding across her chest. “Perhaps I took up smoking.”
“And did you?”
She gave him an ‘are you mad?’ look. “No, I burnt down my office,” she said exasperatedly, as if it should’ve been obvious, and he tried to refrain from giving her an ‘are you mad?’ look in return.

Summary
The Dark Lord has risen.
Harry Potter is gone.
And Hermione Granger has disappeared into the heart of Voldemort’s regime.Forced deep within the enemy’s inner circle, Hermione survives through lies, performance, and increasingly unforgivable choices. Every day inside the Manor demands another piece of herself, and the longer the war drags on, the harder it becomes to remember who she was before it.
But survival was never going to be the most dangerous part.
Not when Draco Malfoy watches her like he’s trying not to lose something that was never his to begin with.
Not when Theodore Nott loves her with the kind of quiet devotion that turns fatal in wartime.
And not when whispers begin to spread that Harry Potter may not be dead at all.
As alliances fracture and old magic begins to awaken beneath the ruins of the war, Hermione finds herself trapped between duty, grief, and two boys who would burn the world down differently for her.
Because some love stories are not meant to survive.
And by the end of it, loving her may be the thing that destroys them all.

Summary
8 years after the death of Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts, Shacklebolt is dead and John Dawlish has become Minister of Magic. All was well until the Daily Prophet began a fear campaign around another dark magic uprising. With Wiggenweld also becoming exceptionally hard to come by, Peace and Order were the most prominent words being thrown around magical Britain. A ministry-led program, Magical Matches, was created to force marriages between magically compatible witches and wizards. The Ministry had declared that strong magic bonds would be the key to prevent another dark uprising in the future, placing emphasis on the need for a stronger magical population. When Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are paired together as Magical Matches, they are forced to face their true feelings about themselves and each other.

Summary
They watched in anticipation as the potion covered the parchment to the edges but not spilling over or soaking in. Everyone held their breaths. Suddenly, the liquid sunk into the parchment and in blood red ink wrote her name and birthday towards the bottom.
Hermione Jean Granger - 19th September 1979
A line spread up from her name and split into two.
Marlene Eleanor McKinnon - 1st August 1960
Everyone let out a collective breath. Then the ink started again, for a moment everyone had forgotten that they didn’t know the second parent. Hermione closed her eyes.
Or Hermione finds herself too curious one day and her world flips upside down. She has two new parents, two new siblings and two new godparents, one of which comes with baggage, not that Hermione's complaining. Follow the story of Hermione as she figures out her new normal with three new house guests living with her new family.

Summary
No one had seen or heard from Draco Malfoy in ten years. Sentenced to two years in Azkaban after the war, he was pulled out after six months by the Ministry with a deal: go undercover to hunt down the remaining Death Eaters or serve the rest of his time. He chose the mission, and when it was over… chose to stay undercover.
Now living as Luke Richards, a deep-cover Auror in the DMLE, Draco has spent a decade hiding behind someone else’s face. Only a handful of people know who he really is, and he prefers it that way. But when he’s assigned to protect Hermione Granger from a series of escalating threats, everything starts to change. What begins as a case becomes something far more dangerous: an unraveling of the life he once gave everything to protect. He might even have a chance to become the man he was meant to be—if he’s brave enough to stop hiding.
A slow burn, post-war action/romance told from Draco’s POV. It features a mystery, angst, redemption, and a witch that changes everything.

Summary
Eight years after the war, Hermione Granger has rebuilt her life. She has carved out a career, raised her six-month-old daughter, Rose, and endured the grief of losing Ron Weasley, who was murdered by rogue Death Eaters before ever meeting his child.
When the Muggle-Born Protection Act is proposed—an insidious law that would strip Muggle-borns of their autonomy by assigning them a pureblood guardian—Hermione’s name becomes the centerpiece of a political debate she never agreed to be a part of.
The last person she expects to offer a solution is Narcissa Malfoy.
Poised and deliberate, Narcissa proposes a bargain: if Hermione agrees to marry Draco Malfoy, she will be exempt from the law, her status as a pureblood’s wife making her untouchable in the eyes of the Ministry. In return, the Malfoy family—still tainted by its past loyalties—will gain the one thing it cannot buy: social redemption.
Hermione and Draco must navigate a world where alliances are never simple, and where trust is as fragile as the paper their marriage contract is written on.But some things cannot be kept on paper.
And gold is not always the most valuable thing in a bargain.- Language:

Summary
Born the secret daughter of Lord Voldemort, Hermione Riddle was raised within the walls of Malfoy Manor beside Draco Malfoy and Theodore Nott—two boys she was drawn to long before an ancient magical bond tied their souls together forever. Groomed to become Voldemort’s heir, Hermione was destined for darkness. But on the night Draco killed Dumbledore, Hermione vanished without a trace, taking dangerous secrets with her.
Five years later, Hermione is captured and dragged back to the world she escaped: a world of Death Eaters, blood politics, and dangerous loyalties. But the girl who returned is not the same one who ran. She is hiding secrets powerful enough to destroy everything, and as the bond between her, Draco, and Theo begins to awaken into something far more obsessive and unstable, the line between love, possession, and destruction begins to blur.

Summary
Now complete!
Draco Malfoy is extracted from Azkaban eight years into a ten-year sentence following a near-fatal attack. After barely surviving, Senior Auror Harry Potter takes him to Maison Black, an ancestral family estate in the French Alps, to recover and fulfill the remainder of his sentence.
When Hermione Granger arrives as his healer, she says she'd only be there for a week, but Draco's mind is hiding something that only she can find. She's not the Brightest Witch of her Age for nothing.
While Hermione works on healing Draco, with the help of one of the Black family's nosy house-elves, questions still plague his case. Who attacked Draco? Was it an isolated incident, or a larger conspiracy that has the Malfoy family at its center? Who wanted him dead, and how far are they willing to go to achieve their objectives?
