When the Headmistress mandates therapy and offers optional group support sessions for those heavily impacted by the war, most roll their eyes - but for the first time in a long time, Hermione Granger feels a flicker of hopeful healing.

But as group session attendance dwindles, leaving two broken hearts with only wards between them - Hermione finds a kindred soul through bleak confessions and a companion for her demons she'd always thought she'd face alone.

If only she knew who they were.

Only Ash Remains by shilo1364

One year after Harry defeated Voldemort at the Battle of Hogwarts, he still has no idea what to do with his life. He's been living at No. 12 Grimmauld Place with Hermione and Ron, but they've spent the past few months on an extended stay in Australia to try and restore Hermione's parents' memories. Alone, he feels set adrift. Everyone else is focused on enjoying their summer before Hogwarts reopens (after a one year rebuilding period), but without Ron and Hermione, Harry doesn't know if he can go back. Everything changes when the Malfoys dramatically re-enter his life, and together they learn to live again. Completed at 20 chapters (Also available on A03 here: https://archiveofourown.org/works/15469014) Illustrations created by the fabulous Saulaie; find more of her work here: https://saulaie.tumblr.com/

Second Chances by GingerSnaps1049

Forced to return for an 8th year at Hogwarts, war veteran and member of the Golden Trio, Hermione Granger plans for a year of studying and keeping to herself. A growing divide between herself and her long time friends pushes her to the outskirts of her group, she takes the opportunity for some long overdue peace and quiet. This is her second chance at enjoying her time at school and learning as much as she can. Draco Malfoy, disgraced and ostracized from society, hopes to prove how much he's changed and continues to change with this 8th year. After spending a summer on house arrest, narrowly escaping Azkaban with testimonies from the boy who lived and the brightest witch of their age. He does not want to squander this second chance at life and plans to do everything he can to prove himself. I own none of the Harry Potter universe or the characters; that privilege, unfortunately, belongs to J.K. Rowling. I only own my storyline and any random OC's I add along the way.

The Weight of the Unspoken by keskibooks

Hermione is a mind healer for the Ministry and treats many war survivors, including Azkaban prisoners. Tired of her tedious relationship with Auror Ron Weasley, she pours herself into work. She has a very challenging case at hand-Draco Malfoy. He spent the first two years of his sentence in isolation and hasn't spoken a word since. Close to his release, Kinglsey, the Ministry, has always believed that Draco was only a child on the wrong side of the war, and has specifically sent her to achieve his rehabilitation into society, despite their historic animosity.

Draco finds himself helping Harry as he still thinks he owes him his life. Part of a series

Scars That Heal (Dramione Fanfiction) [COMPLETE] by KatyaMorrigan

[COMPLETED] The Battle changed everyone, there was no doubt in that. Hermione was still returning to Hogwarts despite this, in the hope she would be able to get her NEWTs and move on. Nightmares haunt her, and it will be difficult to forget all that has happened. Draco was a Death Eater, despised and feared. Now he has to contend with the hate he helped breed, and make it to the end of his exams before he can escape it. But all he did has taken it's toll, and he's not the only one dealing with the awful memories. They say misery loves company, but maybe broken people can learn to fix each other... WARNING: Themes of self-harm, panic attacks and suicide feature prominently in this story. Trigger warnings are put at the start of chapters for self-harm, suicide and death, but many chapters feature panic attacks or references to panic attacks. If any of these things upset or trigger you, I recommend you avoid these signposted chapters or the book as a whole.

The Day After Tomorrow by paperbark

Harry saw Malfoy roll his eyes in exasperation. ''I'm not going to Kedava you dead Potter, calm down.'' He said nothing as Malfoy gathered his thoughts. ''I'm trying to...you see... what's up with Granger?'' Harry felt himself recoil as is pushed. What right did Malfoy, out of everyone, have to talk about Hermione. Malfoy squared his shoulders ready for a blow, his jaw tight, visibly holding back his true words when he spoke. ''She's not well.'' Cover by @paperbark

Shades of Grey by EmilieJane29

Hermione Granger has had a few unexpected ethical dilemmas in her lifetime. Informally being Draco Malfoy's Mind Healer just happened to be one of those. **I do not condone relationships between a therapist and their clients - this is just for fictional purposes** A slightly better edited version is on AO3 and I'll make the changes here soon.

Remain Nameless by HeyJude19-writing

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 @eternallyreadinggoodthings

All Mine (Drarry) by SecretlyGayMom_Kyra

It's the 8th year of Hogwarts, Harry has PTSD and is isolating from everyone. The few people that came back all share a common room and they have to share dorms. Harry has been acting quite weird and Draco is trying to figure out what's wrong. Draco is the only one who can calm Harry down from a panic attack or nightmare which brings them close... See what happens next :) WARNINGS: Self harm, talks of depression, and self hate.

Stillness by Ittyxbitty

Hermione didn't know how to get over the war. She thought returning to Hogwarts would help but after a breakdown the most unlikely person helped her up and taught her it was okay to not be okay. *Check out the companion piece as well From the Desk of Draco Malfoy* ****TRIGGER WARNINGS**** PTSD, SELF HARM, SUICIDE ATTEMPT, ALCOHOL ABUSE, SEXUAL SITUATIONS, MENTAL ILLNESS. THESE CHARACTERS ARE GOING THROUGH SOME SHIT SO THEY ARE NOT MENTALLY HEALTHY PEOPLE. THE RELATIONSHIPS ARE TOXIC, THERE WILL BE AN ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE, THERE WILL BE MENTIONS OF SELF HARMING.
