"I've brought you here to ask you a rather difficult favour Miss Granger; on the night of the 30th of this month I need you to come here at midnight and if need be" Dumbledore paused and looked pleadingly at the witch, "I require you to apparate Mr Draco Malfoy to safety if necessary and protect him at all costs regardless of the fate I land myself in" Hermione's face contorted into one of shock and disgust but before her lips could part the old wizard continued, "The wards will be broken for no more than an hour so you must apparate far away, somewhere only you know of and most importantly Miss Granger, you must not tell anyone - even Harry - about your task..."

~•THE WRONG ROUTE•~
Malfoy knocks into Granger. Granger snarls. Malfoy mocks. Granger retorts. The end. Except... Something in his chest cracked open. His limbs moved before his pride could catch up. He dropped to one knee beside her and began to collect the books. Hermione blinked, her fingers pausing on the spine of her Arithmancy notes. Her eyes darted to his face, confused. "You're actually helping?" she muttered, suspiciously. Draco didn't look at her. He picked up the thickest book, brushing some dust from the edge. His fingers trembled. And then, voice rough, soft-like it had scraped itself raw before speaking-he said: "I-I'm sorry." Hermione froze completely. What? Draco cleared his throat, handed her the book, and added, voice faltering just enough to betray him: "I didn't mean to, I wasn't paying attention-sorry, mudblood." Triggered Warning- Gore, violence,mentions of attempted suicide, torture, mentions of rape.Complete
A Flower Among Serpent (Part Three)
At the heart of a changing Hogwarts, where whispers of rebellion and the looming darkness of war clash, Iris Greengrass finds herself entangled in something far more dangerous than she ever imagined-her feelings for Draco Malfoy. Their story begins with tension, with unspoken words and piercing stares exchanged in the dimly lit corridors of the castle. Iris, a sharp-minded Slytherin who secretly allies with Dumbledore's Army, finds herself drawn to Draco, despite the blood on his family's name. Their interactions are filled with sarcastic remarks, stolen glances, and an undeniable pull-a dance between duty and desire. But as the walls of Hogwarts crack under the weight of the Ministry's influence, and the truth about the war starts to unfold, Iris is forced to face a chilling reality-Draco's father is a Death Eater. The knowledge shakes her to the core, and in a moment of betrayal and anger, she confronts Draco. What she doesn't expect is to see him break. He isn't the cold, untouchable boy she thought he was. He is afraid. Trapped. Torn between what he was raised to believe and what he feels when he looks at her. Days pass in painful silence, the tension unbearable. Iris is scared-not of him, but of herself. Of the way she still wants him, even after knowing the truth. Of how much she cares.Complete
Remorse
I force myself to unlock the door and once it swings open, I spend no time watching the look of bafflement on his face. I brush right past him and sit myself down onto the bed, my eyes are glued to the rain racing down the panes. He walks over to where I'm sitting, steadily, and stands over me. Studying me. Inspecting the dried patches on my face and the blood on my knuckles from picking at my skin. I can't bare to watch. Finally, I glance up at him and our eyes are locked within each other's. His head tilts to the side and the paleness of his eyes continue examining me. "What are you doing to yourself?" Are the next words that have no hesitation flying out of his mouth. It makes me so angry that he assumes I've been the one behind this. "You did this to me." I had meant to sound strong and convincing, but it had turned only into a timid whisper.
Cursed hearts- D.M
He stepped back, eyes glued to my arm. "What a magnificent sight," he grabbed my jaw gently and moved my head back straight. His boney grey fingers whipped the tears trapped on my eyelashes. "Oh, don't be upset, my dear girl. You and your power will be of excellent use to us." Stepping back once more, he now turned to my father. I glanced down at my arm to see the dark skull and snake laid across my arm. It was official now. I was one of them. "Speaking of," I looked back up before anymore signs of weakness showed. "We need to mention the boy and her." My father stood up straight and glanced at me before falling back on the dark lord. "My lord, i feel as though we should wait. At least until she's enrolled and has her letter." Voldemort tapped his wand in his hand, pacing back and forth between my father and I. "mm. Well, I suppose. that way it will be fresh in our little Legies mind. Very well. However as soon as that letter comes, she must be told straight away." He stalked towards my father and raised his wand slightly, "Do not think I won't know if you fail to mention it, Severus. You know I see all."
I promise (book one)
"Why did you have to pick me? Do you enjoy my misery or something?" Hermione yelled. "I picked you to protect you!" Draco screamed. "Why would you want to protect me?" She asked with tears threatening too fall. Draco became silent for a moment. All his rage left as he looked into Hermione's eyes. "Because I made a promise to Saint Potter. I would protect you if he wasn't here to protect you anymore." Draco said seriously. "Because he knew I loved you, and I wouldn't let anyone hurt you." "Y..you love me..." Hermione mumbled in awe. "Until the very end." Draco said breathlessly ~~~~~ This is my first Hp fanfic, if I misspelled something please tell me. I won't get upset if anything they make me happy.Complete
