The years have not been kind to either Hermione Granger or Draco Malfoy. With the war over and the dawning of a new age begins: both Granger and Malfoy must learn that the past is the past and that's just where it should stay. Hermione, now 25 and watching her friends move more into adulthood while she treads behind- has taken up a new sort of job for the Ministry of Magic. But an unsuspecting alliance may be brewing for her since the Golden Trio has disbanded. Certain events lead her to start questioning her secret Slytherin side. Draco, having avoided serious consequences, finds that he is more alone now than he ever had been. In a world he no longer understands- Draco must find his inner Gryffindor to get by. Or it may just be the last thing he'll do. With the help of the least likely person: can Draco manage to survive?

New cover ~ I don't own this image ~ I don't own these characters Due to personal reasons, and some recent comments made towards myself that are affecting me, I am officially on hiatus for all stories and all activity. I apologize to anyone who was waiting for updates and those who were actually excited. I hope to be back in a place soon where I will come back. Lots of Love :) (Story is finished but UNEDITED) Hermione Granger has returned to England after also vanishing post-battle of Hogwarts; but she's got a shadow in the form of a six-year old attached to her hip. Leo Granger was raised in America as the war stagnated in England with the disappearance of Harry Potter. Once the war was won, Hermione decided it was time to bring her son to London, and the face ghost of her past... the married ghost of her past.

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

Six years after the war, Hermione has the picture perfect life. She's married to a loving husband, has the Ministry job she always wanted, and friends that are loyal to the end. So why does she have to glamour away the bruises on her face, as she reaches for her bottle of Muggle pills? No, her life is far from perfect. Draco has lived his life day-to-day for the last six years. After taking over the Malfoy estate from his estranged father and spending most of his time rebuilding the Malfoy name, he realizes he's missing something in his life. That's how he finds himself working alongside a certain Golden Girl, who seems to have lost her fire.

"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.

Summary: After Voldemort wins, the wizarding world realizes he's not quite the best choice for a leader and the community falls into chaos...economy crumbling, crime and violence. Hermione Granger is caught embezzling funds from Lucius Malfoy's accounts and thrown in jail. Draco comes to offer her a chance at freedom if she agrees to come work for him...at The Shattered Dragon...a brothel outside London. I do not own this story.

Five years into to the war, the Order is pulling ahead after ages of drastically losing. Draco Malfoy notices. He wants in. He offers himself as a double agent, but the Order requests more. They've created a new spell that binds two people's magical cores together in order to make a nearly unbeatable pair of duelists. Draco agrees to bind himself to the person most compatible with his magical core. Even if it is Hermione Granger.

Draco and Hermione find themselves in a very unfortunate situation, one where they'll be forced to trust one another with their deepest secrets. Because how does a relationship between enemies change when they have full access to each other's mind? When they discover each other's darkest secrets? And how will they be able to use it as their advantage? Cover by: @FRUMPOLOGIST on tumblr

Hermione Granger returned to England after years abroad. Of course things have changed back home, but so has she; though Hermione didn't know just how much she was still changing. No one ever said change was easy and in her case it was downright dangerous, but at least she wouldn't be alone. Not only do drastic changes affect Hermione's life and magic, but she will also end up bound for life to another person. The question is will she be able to choose her life partner or will it be out of her hands? I dont own Harry Potter
