The Scandal That Made Us
The headlines called it a scandal. She called it survival. Hermione Granger had spent years building a life she could be proud of-until a very public betrayal shattered it all. Cheated on, humiliated, and thrown into the center of wizarding society's gossip mill, she's left with two choices: hide from the world or rise above it. And rising is exactly what she does. With the support of an unexpected circle of Slytherin friends-and one infuriatingly charming Draco Malfoy-Hermione transforms. No longer the girl who let others dictate her worth, she becomes a force to be reckoned with in the Ministry, making headlines for all the right reasons. But the press isn't done with her yet, and when old enemies try to drag her back into the scandal, Draco proves he's willing to fight for her-even when she isn't sure she deserves it. What started as a disaster might just be the best thing that ever happened to her. Because sometimes, the worst betrayals lead to the greatest love stories.

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
