"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. All rights go to JK Rowling* Disclaimer: some parts towards the end are straight from the original Deathly Hallows book/movie, more towards the last few chapters becausa jkr wrote the scenes well and I didn't want to rewrite canon. This was to highlight the outcomes of the story that do not change despite Draco and Hermione's relationship and everything that entails. I added a few things such as changing it to Hermione's POV, adding her thoughts, and changing some details to fit the story.

-WATTY'S LONGLIST 2018- When McGonagall requests that every student repeat the grade they had just finished due to the distractions of the previous year, the whole gang return to Hogwarts for a year they'll never forget. Not only are tensions boiling over after the war, but all Gryffindor and Slytherin seventh-years are forced to move in together in an attempt to reverse the century-old feud. Along with the pressure of sharing rooms with enemies, comes the struggle of ignoring the memories of the war that pop up at every twist and turn. To be blunt, it is a year full of bickering and name calling - but it results in the endings and beginnings of many relationships, new and old... One in particular, however, stands out from the rest - Complete x

The War is won, and Hermione Granger is back at Hogwarts as an Eighth Year, feeling reckless and determined to shed her prim bookworm persona. Also returning is Draco Malfoy, universally hated but determined to restore his family's name. Hermione's hopes for a quiet school year are quickly dashed as she contends with mischievous First Years, killer plants, enchanted hair accessories, a totally inappropriate Moaning Myrtle, renegade Death Eaters, a nice vampire, a poorly named study group, a depraved party, and mysterious, threatening blood messages on the castle walls. We have redemption, partial redemption and (sadly or hilariously) no redemption at all. Throw in a snarky, disturbingly attractive Draco with his own secret agenda, and we have a very slow-burn Dramione with a side of who-dun-it. COMPLETE!

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 morning 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 is morning coffee with Draco Malfoy the only thing that makes sense anymore? *cover art created by @eternallyreadinggoodthings

"Don't you dare walk away from me right now Malfoy!" "I am not walking away I am simply going to my room for the night. Goodnight Granger." "Not Before we talk!" He stopped and turned to face her. "About what? Enlighten me, Granger, please." "Oh just the tenderness of the roast pig at dinner- that kiss, Draco! You kissed me in the middle of the ball in front of everyone with zero warning! That was not part of the plan!" He gave a quick smirk as he slowly brought his bedroom door to a close. "Not a part of yours. Sweet dreams, Granger." "You disgusting ferret!" Hermione shrieked from the other side of the door, but he wasn't paying attention. For Hermione Granger had just called him Draco. DISCLAIMER: CHARACTERS ARE NOT MINE.
