On a fateful mission gone wrong, Auror Draco Malfoy gets mauled by a werewolf in an attempt to save his partner's life. When they rush him into St. Mungo's, the only healer Harry Potter will trust near his partner is his best friend, Hermione Granger, the head of the Trauma Ward. Little did they realize, healing Draco Malfoy would not be the difficult part of her job. When he regains consciousness, Draco's impulses are frayed and his instincts keep pushing him towards Granger, the one friend from Potter's crew he'd always kept at a distance. But now his heightened senses won't allow him to escape her and his new and volatile wolf has decided she's his perfect match. ✧ 𝐇𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐑𝐚𝐧𝐤 #1 hermione #5 dracomalfoy #4 harrypotter #2 dramione #194 fanfiction /1.2 M! #528 romance/1.8M! 🥇 1st PLACE (tied) in Post-War Era @ Seeker Awards 2019 🏅 2nd PLACE in Post-War Era @ Hogwarts Student Council Writing Contest ✦ 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐂𝐋𝐀𝐈𝐌𝐄𝐑: • I clearly don't own HP or the Wizarding World, I just enjoy having fun with the world. • Rated M for later chapters.

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.

Um feitiço cruel, uma maldição imperdoável. Draco e Hermione estão prestes a descobrir as consequências do ódio que sentem um pelo outro. Amor, jamais. Prazer, certamente...

Hermione saw potential in Draco Malfoy, the kind that he liked to hide and pretend he was never capable of obtaining. Draco saw everything that he's never experienced or had in Hermione Granger, the kind of things she freely gave to anyone who wanted it. One night, he decided to take from her. They kissed, and the rest came crashing down around them. [Mini-story]

[...]Eu ainda conseguia ver e sentir a dor no rosto de Draco. A imagem da lágrima solitária escorrendo pela pele branca ficaria gravada para sempre na minha memória. Assim como as palavras que vieram depois: Não importa. Eu serei o pai dessa criança. Naquele momento, eu finalmente parei de lutar contra mim mesma. Foi naquele instante que eu percebi o quanto ele estava diferente, que tive certeza do homem que ele havia se tornado. Ali, escondida com Draco entre a escada e a escultura de um bruxo do século 15, eu descobri a excitação e a angústia que fariam da minha vida um constante desespero bom. E me entreguei definitivamente à tempestade no céu noturno.[...] "Não há nada surpreendente o suficiente, singular o suficiente para descrever o inacreditável. Especialmente quando o inacreditável está diretamente ligado a você". (Hermione Granger) O que aconteceu nos primeiros anos após a guerra? Como cada um dos personagens lidou com as perdas, com os "efeitos colaterais" que a guerra trouxe? Ninguém luta em uma batalha, é perseguido, torturado, mata, bate, apanha, perde amigos e parentes e continua sendo o mesmo. A guerra deixou marcas, feridas profundas em cada um deles e agora, eles tem que aprender a viver com elas, transformá-las em cicatrizes.

"You see, Draco Malfoy, without your sarcastic replies to endure each morning and that arrogance only you could carry, I find myself somewhat missing you." Draco thought the biggest problem living for a year under the same roof as Hermione Granger was the probability of them killing each other. He never thought it would be falling in love with her.
