Rules are the very foundation of Regency London. Everyone is raised to them, and they understand their role, their purpose. A young marriageable lady must make the best choice for her future and her family. A young lord must make the best selection for healthy heirs and a sizeable dowry. Enter Hermione Granger. Having previously avoided a number of seasons, she knows that if she is to achieve her dreams, she must make a match, and quickly, lest her secret become too much for gossip to handle. An advantageous match, made quickly, can save her from becoming a Spinster, and allow her the life she desires. She must attract attention... but only the right kind. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy, Duke of Wiltshire, has no interest in marrying. In fact, the very last thing he wants is to attract the attention of any woman - but, it seems as though his friends will no longer allow him to sit outside of society, brooding far away from his responsibility. They insist he must court, if not wed. The answer, when it falls into his lap, is Hermione Granger. If only their arrangement had stayed as such... DRAMIONE BRIDGERTON AU...

Desperation is a state of despair, one that results in rash and extreme behaviour. It is what we resort to in the most precarious times in our lives. It is the year 1998 Hogwarts had fallen. Under Dumbledore's order, Hermione Granger returns back to 1944 to try and prevent Tom Riddle from becoming Voldemort. However she hadn't expected that the young dark lord would have such an impact on her.

Voldemort is gaining more power as each day passes, and no one can stop him, except for maybe two people. Hermione and Draco go back in time, back when Tom Riddle was still a teenage boy, and are told to befriend him in order to find out what his plans were for the future. But what happens when a feeling called love destroys the plan...

Draco is barely holding himself together as his world shatters around him. He is hiding a secret and if anyone were to find out, it would mean certain death. But he is not the only one with secrets. The Mudblood seems to be having troubles of her own. Ah, well. He doesn't give a damn about what she does with her life. He doesn't...right? Sixth Year and Eighth Year AUDrac

"You're a goddamn catalyst, you know that?" He said slowly, the wind picking up and blowing his hair into his eyes. "Every single emotion I feel, they become whole damn explosions because of you." I sat there frozen, my breath caught in my throat. I make him feel explosions. I think of quicksilver eyes and pinkies brushing against one another and shared earbuds. You make me feel how I imagine touching the stars would be. Say it. Say it. Say it. Nothing comes out. Draco's expression shuttered closed, his spine going rigid. He stood up quickly, towering over me, and he held his broken arm out. "I know we bleed the same, Granger. I bled for you." _____ slowburn dramione starting fifth year book 1 in The Starlight Duology spotify book playlist: "the stars aligned" (each song in order fits every chapter) *I do not own any of these characters or this fictional world.
