War was something out of Ventura Way's vocabulary, much less her realm of imagination.
She was raised on the communes, a group of 8 interchanging groups of wizards who sought refuge, freedom and community in the Australian outback's. Not much was known about her home to the rest of the Wizarding world, but they were regarded as savages due to their nomadic lifestyle.
Due to their lack of an education, the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry opened their doors to the young 'travelers' in an attempt to increase literacy rates and magic efficiency. It's here, where Ventura is introduced to a life of prejudice, schedules, routine- and most daunting, the cold Draco Malfoy.
Ventura had never met a boy like Draco, he was materialistic, egotistical, and thoroughly mean and unhappy- but it's what interests her. Just as she draws closer to Draco, the travelers are sent back to Australia due to the looming war and rise of the Death Eaters.
The travelers are left with three years of peace, while a war ravages the rest of the Wizarding world- but it was only a matter of time before the curse of war touched them.
Orders were sent out that any Traveller over the age of 16 and under 40 must be sold into slavery, and the children rehoused in an attempt to 'save' them. Whereas the rest of the Travelers are sold off at auction, Ventura is picked first in a roundup by a high official in Voldemort's army- Draco Malfoy.

Not to mention that nearly all Malfoy's have been in the primarily pure blooded Hogwarts house for generations.

Ashes & Echoes (Dramione fanfic)
After the war, Hogwarts is in ruins-just like Draco Malfoy's reputation. Isolated from his old friends and resented by the rest of the school, he keeps his distance from everyone, especially Hermione Granger. She represents everything he was raised to despise. But when she saves his life-against his will-Draco is forced to confront the one truth he can't ignore: he owes her. And the more their paths collide, the harder it becomes to see her as just a Mudblood. In a castle filled with ghosts of the past, some grudges refuse to die... and some enemies refuse to stay enemies.Complete
Always Aurelia
Aurelia never asked for a legacy... not the name, not the bloodline, and definitely not the secrets that came with it. When her she decided to transfer to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry from Beauxbatons Academy, it wasn't a dream come true. It was a complication. It feels like a shift, like something her mother hoped to delay. But still, she boards the train-half-curious, half-dreading the truth she'll find between stone corridors, whispered spells, and eyes that seem to already know her. She's not a hero. She's not a villain. She's something in between-and magic doesn't forget people like her. At Hogwarts, Aurelia must navigate cryptic professors, ancient family ties, and a boy with sharp eyes and sharper words. As tensions rise and shadows gather, Aurelia begins to wonder: Was she brought to Hogwarts by fate... or by force? "You think this is funny? You think you're better than me?" "I don't think I'm better than you, Malfoy. I just have enough self-respect not to cry 'daddy' every time I embarrass myself." "You don't know a thing about my father-" "And yet he's in every sentence you say. Are you sure you're Draco or just his overly dramatic echo?" In a world where names hold power and pasts refuse to stay buried, Aurelia must decide who she is-before someone else decides for her.
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

She found herself falling deeper for the notorious, bad to the bone, prejudiced and lothario Draco Malfoy. She had a crush on him for a quite a long time but it wasn't anything serious, she never intended to grasp or earn the attention of the platinum blonde haired boy, but she did. Who would've thought the Slytherin Prince would be intrigued to get to know a sharp-witted girl, full of ego and has a massive problem of perfectionism. Her slurs were perfectly calculated which pained Draco Malfoyy whenever she insulted him. From enemies to bestfriends and to lovers, this is a story full of 18+ chapters, saddening scenarios and maybe even disturbing plots. This story is vaguely juvenile and inane. Not your ordinary Matured Content. #6- Malfoy #1- sadness #9-dracomalfoy A sharp-witted Ravenclaw and a Cunning ambitious Slytherin, a power duo. What more could be possibly exciting than that? *COMPLETED*Complete
Nowhere To Belong

Hermione Granger has been studying curse breaking and has become the upcoming most successful healer in London. ---------- "I see you looking at my body Granger, enjoying yourself?" Draco wrote on the paper. Hermione shook her head. "I just never knew you to like working out," she responded. "I'm deaf and mute, so I feel weak. If I look bigger and stronger then maybe people won't target me because of my curse," he wrote with almost perfect handwriting. No characters belong to me! All to JKR.
