Her fingers curled into fists as her eyes filled with tears. "I'm pregnant," she whispered before she bit her lip. "I'm sorry, what?" Draco asked, praying to some God that he had misheard her. "I'm pregnant, and it's yours."

First little story in the Fucklust Series. Fuck-lust; Draco had liked to call it. A state of tension whereby two people hated each other so much that one day they would implode all of these emotions and take them out on each other. The outcome would usually end in them both rutting like rabbits. Not him and Granger, though. No, they wouldn't just rut. They'd fuck. Hard. *Mature content from the start.* ** Draco and Hermione are the Bestman and Chief Bridesmaid at their friends wedding. Maybe there are some things that are better left unsaid. I DON'T OWN THIS! IT BELONGS TO ADA_P_RIX!

"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.

Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger return to Hogwarts for their 8th year, appointed as Head Boy and Head Girl-a decision that forces them into an awkward arrangement of sharing a common room. While the wizarding world seeks to rebuild after the war, tensions remain high between those on opposing sides. For Draco and Hermione, their shared living quarters ignite a fiery clash of personalities. Hermione views Draco with contempt for his past, while Draco carries his own burdens and guilt, masked by his signature sarcasm and cold demeanor. But amidst the late-night study sessions and accidental moments of vulnerability, something unexpected begins to shift. They slowly discover cracks in each other's armor-a truth hidden behind Hermione's fierce drive for justice and Draco's stoic facade. As walls come down, hatred turns into hesitant understanding, and understanding blossoms into something undeniable.

**MATURE CONTENT ** (Smut alert!) His eyes defiant and wild, Draco spoke to her in barely a whisper, "We need this, Granger. Marry Weasley, but tonight you belong to me." Taking her small trembling hand in his, Draco led her to the bedroom. Hermione surrendered to him, he was right, they needed this so much.

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!

"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.

The Wizarding War is over. Voldemort is dead. The Wizarding World is now peaceful. Wizards and Witches are still reminiscing about the past. Hermione Granger and the rest of her batch are returning for their final year and there she meets Draco Malfoy, again. Friendships are made. Attraction starts to grow. Jealousy takes place. No one would possibly think that the "Brightest Witch Of The Age" can make the "Slytherin Badboy" fall, seriously. But what if betrayals are done? Trust has been broken. Reputation is destroyed. Rejection will follow. A child will be born. Two years have passed by so easily then suddenly, he came back saying it was all fictitious. Asks for marriage but leaving her again. True love is hard to find as others may say. Problems are coming. Surprises are waiting. Temptations will be faced. But only few can stand after thousands of trials that has been remedied and all questions that has been answered. Will it still be . . . Hermione Malfoy?!
