~SEQUEL TO 'SCARS THAT HEAL'~
ON HIATUS
Hermione Granger found last year difficult to say the least. Between love, death and her own mind, it took a lot to make it through her NEWTs. But her scars have healed, and now she has emerged on the other side - fully qualified, with a stable job, loving partner and a fresh start in her own house. It should be a lot smoother sailing from here.
Draco Malfoy had so much to win back last year. He had lost his dignity, his status and all hope in getting better. It took some time, and a certain woman's help, but his scars have healed and he has mended the breaks in his life. Now he can live with the knowledge that he has safety, and the conviction that it isn't an accident - this will last.
The pair seemed so unlikely, but now they couldn't be closer. They will need each other's support to survive life after school and all the troubles adulthood brings; just because life is easier doesn't mean that bad things and confusing feelings can't happen. But they have each other after all, and everything is easier when someone is there to watch your back.
NOTE: This is a sequel to my other fanfiction, 'Scars That Heal'. It can be read on its own as an adult Dramione fic, but there will be references to events in the other book set in Hogwarts, so although I would recommend reading 'STH' first, it shouldn't be necessary for the enjoyment of this book.

Breath-Drarry COMPLETE
I charged at her, watching as she didn't brace herself for the impact. Thinking I had caught her off-guard, I felt the swell of rage and pride churning in my chest. I held her collar in my fist, my wand against her throat, knuckles going red. Her expression was shot in shock, eyebrows raised in uncanny petrification. She nabbed at my hand holding her collar, digging her claw-like nails into the top of my hand, her thumb's nail nearly piercing my palm. "What have you done?" "Going to kill me, are you?" "You'll wish I had." -- Following their newfound love for each other, Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy face new challenges that prevent them from the peaceful life together they so desire. Haunted by the consequences of their past actions and daunted by the uncertainty of their future, the pair, along with their loved ones, continue forward through a crumbling world, a final choice awaiting them all in the end. --THIS IS A SEQUEL TO AFTER, RETURNED, AND RISEN. AND ACTS AS A FINALE TO THE THREE BOOKS. PLEASE READ THOSE BEFORE OPENING THIS ONE, OR YOU WILL BE THOROUGHLY CONFUSED. ALL CAN BE FOUND IN MY PROFILE.-- Trigger warnings for this whole thing.

A Potions Mishap
When the eighth years return to the newly rebuilt Hogwarts to finish their NEWTs, a lot of things have changed. The Wizarding World is finally at peace and the looming threat of Voldemort diminished forever. But there's still a year left to go through. And it's already off to a rocky start. Harry Potter is showered with praise and celebrated as the one who saved the Wizarding World. But with the wounds of the war scarring deep and a heartbreak to handle, he doesn't feel ready to step into the role the world designed for him. A problem Draco Malfoy can only dream of. Spending the summer cut off from the world in his childhood home, the only thing he wants is to flee its tight grasp. Yet, Hogwarts isn't the same it once has been and has nothing to offer the former Death Eater but cold shoulders and dark corners, where he is supposed to linger unnoticed. Everything changes with a terrible potions mishap and they are forced to pretend to be the other. A task already difficult enough, yet they soon find themselves tangled in a web of lies and facing a threat regarding nothing less but the safety of Hogwarts itself. To escape the effects of the potion and solve the mystery of the attacks, they have no choice but to trust the one they had every right to be wary of for the past seven years. Each other. -------- (mostly compliant with canon; enemies to friends; implied drarry; no sexual content; mentions of past trauma; descriptions of violence and injuries; body swap; slow paced) ~190k wordsComplete
Scarred but still yours
It's easy to think that the greatest battles are fought on the front lines, in dark alleys or behind closed doors. But for Hermione Granger, the most painful war was one she fought in the silence, on her own. Her marriage to Ron Weasley, once a symbol of hope belonging, had deteriorated into something unrecognisable. Behind the warmth of the Burrow, there were shadows-violent, destructive, and suffocating. But some battles, she would learn, were beyond her ability to win alone. When the chance to escape came, she took it. With nothing but her courage and a few belongings, she fled the life that had once promised so much, seeking solace in the place where her heart had always found peace: Hogwarts. But even within the walls of her beloved school, the scars of her past could not be erased. Not until she found herself working alongside an unexpected ally-Draco Malfoy. The boy who had once stood as her enemy, the one who had tormented her and her friends, now offered her a different kind of support. As time passed, the distance between them began to close, their shared history no longer a wall, but a foundation. They find something in each other they never expected to find again-safety, understanding, and love. But just as they begin to rebuild what had been lost, a shadow from Hermione's past returns to haunt her. Ron, desperate and enraged, comes to Hogwarts-his anger consuming him. He attacks Hermione with the same violence she had escaped from, and in that moment, Draco becomes her protector. This is their story-one of rediscovery, of healing, and of love rekindled against all odds. Together, they will rise from the ashes of their broken pasts and embrace the future both of them have always craved. ****Please note, this fic includes graphic descriptions of traumatic events including all aspects of physical abuse****Complete

Heal My Heart🤍
Heal My Heart Summary: After the war, Draco Malfoy's name was dragged through the mud, but one person refused to let him drown in it - Harry Potter. When Harry defended Draco at his trial, freeing him from Azkaban and giving him a second chance, Draco did what he thought was best - he left Britain, escaping the whispers, the pity, and the ghosts of a life he never truly lived. Four years later, he returns - no longer the sneering boy from Hogwarts, but a brilliant Healer from France, quietly dedicated to mending what others have broken. But St. Mungo's is not kind to ghosts of the past, and neither are the people who still see the Mark on his arm instead of the man beneath it. What Draco doesn't realize is that his quiet courage has not gone unnoticed. Harry, now a respected Auror and just as reckless with his heart as he ever was, has been keeping an eye on him - not out of guilt, but because the man Draco has become is someone Harry can't stop thinking about. When a case at the Ministry forces the Auror and the Healer to work together, old wounds resurface, and new emotions begin to bloom. Between laughter in the hospital corridors, late-night tea in the Auror Office, and the quiet healing of two scarred souls, Harry and Draco will have to decide - is it possible to rebuild a life from the ruins of war? Or perhaps... to heal a heart that's never truly stopped bleeding? --- (All the copyright of the Harry Potter Characters belong to J.K Rowling) (The images used aren't mine, They're taken from Pinterest.
