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

❛And do you know what's the stupidest thing about this?❜ said Draco and made an aggressive step towards me. ❛That after all this,❜ he grasped my forearm violently and made me backstep in fear. ❛After all this trouble,❜ he said and pushed me against the wall despite my tries to get away. ❛After all these fights,❜ he closed up and stuck his body on mine, putting his hand on my neck almost painfully. ❛I still want you so badly, it hurts,❜ he said and looked at me with both anger and lust and passion. ❛God, I want you so much and I want to kill you at the same time. You stupid, little girl, I fucking love you.❜ Despite being Voldemort's daughter, Dumbledore's goddaughter and destined to lead, Annalise Riddle was born in a world ordinary and plain. Thrown into a life full of magic and wonders, she stumbles upon her fate. This is not just a love story. This is a story of self-sacrifice and being brave enough to seek your destiny. ❛The Lost Daughter is now born. Lady she is meant to be and Lady she will be, and a Dark Lord's daughter. Beware, for only she knows the key to his collapse. Long may she reign and retribution shall be ours.❜ *Highest Rank: #2 in fanfiction and #1 in draco* If you like this story, I am sure you would also like its prequel.

Book 1 of the Thorn series. ~ book 2 is being published - Crown of Thorns ~ "Look, I know your type. Private school guy who peaked in his teenage years, living off daddy's money, shagging every girl he sees thanks to his handsome face and lacking any kind of respect for others because he's so used to getting what he wants." The moment they meet, Draco and Chloe cannot escape each other. He is a wizard escaping his past after the war, she is a muggle completely unaware of his reality. But as they often do, opposites attract and their worlds come crashing together. That would only be a typical love story though, right? And Merlin knows Draco Malfoy was never supposed to have one of those. Because Chloé DesRosiers is anything but normal. And her very existence might threaten what the Wizarding World has fought so hard to get. Will contain sensitive topics (mental health, addiction, sexual assault, potential smut). I will try to include TW in the beginning of each sensitive chapter. The story starts in London but will bring you all around Europe soon enough. The story is set in our current time space, and I will most certainly get some parts of the JKR plot wrong as I do not know the books by heart (unfortunately). Regular updates.

The impending Second Wizarding War brings two people from opposite worlds together. She, of grace and gentleness, her life torn apart by a tragedy. He, who has only known hatred and spite, tasked with an impossible mission. Her, caught between loyalties - two boys, two sides. He, between love and evil. Is their story written in the stars, or was it never meant to be? // "I'm here with you. And you're here with me." Now as he held her in his arms, he wanted nothing more than to be part of this fascinating, confusing, half-and-half world she lived in - as a part of a family who would have treated him as their own, with warmth and respect. A family who would have had no expectations for him, only pure, genuine, and unadulterated love. {Draco x Cedric love triangle} TW: s**c*de, r*pe, panic attacks Note: deals with heavy themes such as grief, loss, depression, and anxiety VIEWER DISCRETION IS ADVISED.
