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![Stay With Me | Draco Malfoy [3]](https://img.wattpad.com/cover/324957365-256-k479049.jpg)

GUILTY ~ a Draco Malfoy story
Born a half-blood, she grew up in the shadows of two worlds. Her Muggle-born mother abandoned the family when the strangeness of magic became too much, leaving her to care for her ailing father-once a dark wizard whose past sins still linger. While others her age studied openly at Hogwarts, she taught herself magic in secret, hiding her power and her lineage. But the ghosts of her father's alliances eventually found her, dragging her into a world she had tried to avoid. As Harry Potter's war with He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named raged, she was forced to question her silence, her survival, and her place in a future she could no longer outrun. Enrolling at Hogwarts in her fifth year, she is thrust into friendships and rivalries that test her loyalties-and into a love that began as anger, sharpened with lust, and deepened with every stolen glance. Haunted by the love she left behind and torn by the one she's falling into, she must navigate the dangerous truth of who she is and decide whether she will shape her fate... or let it consume her.

That's all that stands in the way between Harry Potter and the rest of his life. Except, he's not even sure what he wants to do with the rest of his life. Hell, he hadn't even expected to live this long if he was being honest. But here he was, alive and well and completely unsure of himself. Everyone keeps telling him that he can relax now, have a normal life, but normal flew out the window the day he learned he was a wizard. Voldemort is gone, (for good this time) and Harry is struggling with his purpose, his fate, his future. The one thing that Harry thought he could count on, the one thing Harry actually considered a part of his normal life, was the constant arguments, high tensions, and general teasing that Draco Malfoy would inflict upon him. But even that's changed. Draco Malfoy is different. He's quiet, reserved. Harry's not sure what to make of the new Draco and when they're paired up as partners in potions, Harry is anything but excited. But as the two enemies talk, as they get to know one another, their relationship takes a turn. A turn that neither of them could have expected.
