my dearest darling love,

Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

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

Love is a curious thing. You can find it in the most unlikely of places and I happened to find it under the stars that night in the Astronomy Tower. I got this story from a tik tok but I changed up some things and i'm going to make a completely different ending and add spice🌶 Also I switched around the order of events from the movies. With that being said, ENJOY! Disclaimer: Any crazy smut won't happen till later chapters, (starts chapter 19) I really wanted to focus on there emotions at first!! There will be trigger warnings and I will make sure to label the chapter before it begins! (Started writing November 17,2020)
