A dramione story based off of Beauty and the Beast with a twist... Nothing is as it seems. A splinching incident lands Hermione Granger in the arms of someone wholly unexpected... and they might not let her go. *domestic abuse/non-con and Ron bashing* Dark!Ron read with caution ⚠️ #1 dramionefanfiction #1 dramione #1 ron-bashing

Five years after the war, Draco and Hermione meet by chance as she wanders into a French vineyard just hoping to re-live a trip she took there with her parents during her school years. Instead, she finds a shirtless, barefoot Draco Malfoy hiding out unbeknownst to the wider wizarding world. He's ashamed of his past misdeeds, and she's been recently humiliated by her soon to be ex-husband. Neither are aware that their lives are about to be inexorably linked, forever.

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.
