Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

The Order of Serpents (Dramione)
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Harry Potter walked into the forbidden forest, died, and walked out with crimson eyes as the new vessel of the Dark Lord. Since then, Hermione Granger served as an elite member of the True Order, isolating herself from other Order members and going on missions alone, not only haunted by the loss of her best friend, Harry, but Ron who had run away after the battle. Three and a half years later, Draco Malfoy shows up with his two year old son on the Order's doorstep seeking to switch sides. Together, Draco and Hermione are forced to deal with not only each other, but their own past and confront who they've become because of the war.

Once You Know The Devil, The Devil Knows You
THIS IS PART TWO : "You're playing a game you can't win," he whispered, tightening his grip. "I already have," she choked out, becoming light-headed as she struggled to get a full breath in. He was well aware just where to hold, because he held her right on the edge of passing out. "Is that so?" He asked. "From where I'm sitting, you have not." His thumb released her enough to stroke her throat. "Enlighten me, Hermione." She shivered at the sinful way her name sounded on his lips.Complete
The Darkwood Wand
Draco Malfoy's history of poor decision-making continues after the war, when he returns to Hogwarts under strict probation. Bored and restless, he decides to cast the infamous Vanishing Cabinet spell to link his bed with the bed of a willing witch. But something goes horribly wrong, and instead of the buzzy flirt Draco's been secretly meeting, his bed keeps delivering an extremely unamused Hermione Granger. So begins Draco's travesty of an "Eighth Year," where nothing goes to plan and good deeds NEVER pay. His mother owls him daily prophecies of doom, a rabid she-weasel stalks him through the castle, and his mad roommate from Durmstrang plots to avenge the Dark Lord. Each day Draco struggles with his worst nature and often loses. Every night brings Granger back again, wreaking havoc with his body and mind. Draco is convinced he's headed straight back to Azkaban and he's almost looking forward to the trip. COMPLETE! (Illustration by K Writes Dramione)Complete
The Internal Devices
"You're a good friend, Hermione." She narrowed her eyes at him. "So we're on a first-name basis now?" He shrugged. "I feel it's only fair after spending every moment of our free time in a lab together. Also," he scratched at his chin in thought, "I'm pretty sure you're dating my best mate."

Every Me, Every You
The war has ended. The world returned to normal. Then they had to live in it. Five years after the war, Hermione Granger wears her survival like a badge and a bruise-polished, professional, and slowly vanishing beneath the weight of expectations. Marriage, career, public image: she plays the part. Even if it means losing the girl who once burned for justice. Draco Malfoy didn't ask for redemption, he only wanted to fade into obscurity. Become the man everyone expected of him and forget the rest. When Hermione walks back into his world, she isn't the girl he remembers. And he's no one's villain anymore. What begins as a reckless mistake turns into something messier-full of jagged wounds, softened edges, and the parts they swore they'd bury. This is a slow-burn, character-driven exploration of trauma, power, and what it means to want something real in the aftermath of survival. Dramione, but raw and human. Eventual HEA.Complete
Remain Nameless
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 @eternallyreadinggoodthingsComplete

The Pitfall (A Dramione Fanfiction)
"I...I love Ron." His lips brushed against her ear as he breathed softly, "Then tell me to stop." They thought the war was over. Little did they know it was only just beginning. After the war, Hermione thinks she has her life back on track. She can finally finish her schooling and be with the love of her life. Little does she know that fate has something else in mind. Draco has spent the summer mulling over every action he has taken that has led his life to this point. What he finds is disgust and guilt that he just can't seem to shake; until he finds solace in the one person he never thought would listen. Bonds are tested, friendships are forged, love is found, and all the while a dark threat arises from the shadows to take on the task the Dark Lord has left.Complete

"Granger, you may have my wand, but you're not in control of the flow of information here. It's not your life on the line." Granger bristled at his assertion. "My life is on the line every day." "So. Is. Mine." He growled at her. "Give me my fucking wand and don't be so bloody obvious when you contact me." She narrowed her eyes at him. "I already told you I'd be more careful next time." She better be. "One more thing." "What, Malfoy?" she said impatiently, still angry that she hadn't gotten the information she wanted. He pointed his finger at her so she would understand how important this was. "You need to learn Occlumency. If you're captured, I'm dead." She stared back at him defiantly. "We both are." He couldn't argue with that. She tossed his wand to the floor and Disapparated with a crack.Complete
Anything
'I don't want your pity, Granger,' he seethes. 'I'm still in your debt. I haven't made amends yet.' 'Oh, so you're planning to?' she asks more cheekily than she is feeling. Malfoy's eyes flash as if she had challenged him to a duel. 'Is there something you need? Just say the word and I'll give it to you. Or do you prefer actions? I'm willing to do fucking anything...' Hermione's heart is beating indecently fast. She masks her fascination with a sceptically raised eyebrow. 'Anything,' she echoes. 'Anything,' he confirms. 'All right, then. For starters, I'd like you to stop crowding me against this bookshelf.'
