Sequel to Captured.

Two and a half years after the end of the war, Hermione's world had changed in ways she never expected. For starters, she had opened her dream bookshop with Blaise Zabini of all people, she wasn't working for the ministry like she had imagined, and she was now one of the most well-known names in the Wizarding World.

And she was no longer dating a certain broody Slytherin.

When he had told her he needed to fix himself before he could be with her, she had understood. It was something they both needed to do. But it had been two years since that conversation, and she wasn't much closer to being healed than she had been in the months following the war. She didn't know if she ever would be. Another change that, the trauma and accompanying anxiety.

She knew one thing that hadn't changed though.

She was still madly in love with Draco Malfoy.

And she didn't know what she was going to do about that.All Rights Reserved

The Internal Devices by astra276

"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 by KrisBlack

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.

cigarette burns by Typically-Done

Asterin's eighth year at Hogwarts was never going to be easy after the Battle of Hogwarts. She wasn't sure she would even go back, until she got there, but the one person she didn't expect to see back roaming the Castle halls, was Draco Malfoy. With no family, and no one really to turn to, she feels isolated from the world, so when Draco looks to be struggling with adjusting, she reaches out to try and make it a little easier for them both. She just wasn't expecting it to go... like this. || TRIGGER WARNINGS: referenced minor character death, PTSD, night terrors, smoking

Hermione..Zabini?? [DraMione] {Wattys 2017} UNDER EDITING by katherine-isabel

Three months have passed since the war and all is well, or so Hermione Granger thought. One day her entire world changes when she is told that she was adopted. That's not all; she's truly the daughter of the Zabini's. The war changed Draco Malfoy for the better. All he wants out of his last year at Hogwarts is to apologize to the young woman who he bullied for so many years because of his feelings for her.

The Weight of What-If? by 1CreativeWriting

My first fanfic so don't hate. I'm trying to follow JK's basic storyline so it seems similar to the books/ movies, but with some differences to make Drarry happen. Harry Potter thought the war was over. He was wrong. Nightmares haunt him, every corridor of Hogwarts feels like a graveyard, and the last person he wants noticing the cracks in his armor is Draco Malfoy. Enemies. Rivals. Roommates. But when a spell accident drags them both into the past, the lines blur in ways neither expected. To survive, they'll have to face not just history, but each other-and the truth hidden beneath years of hatred. NOT COMPLETED, JUST ABANDONED T^T

Blood Bound by emsly6454

Struggling with the consequences of the war, Hermione distances herself from the rest of the Golden Trio and returns to Hogwarts as Head Girl. Surrounded by constant noise, she finds her quiet in the company of the annoying blonde-haired Head Boy. Draco Malfoy is trapped behind his occlumency walls. Having kept them up for so long during the war, he can't bring himself to take them down. The only person who manages to get behind his walls just so happens to be the bushy-haired Head Girl. As each-other's only hope, can the two get along long enough to fix their problems?

Scarred but still yours by Imsharpethanilook

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****

A Beautiful Beginning by snailly_snail

Ron looks okay, but Draco looks better. It's after the battle of Hogwarts and Harry Potter keeps looking for a certain, and I quote, "...pale, white-blonde, beautamous ferret." After a incident at the astronomy tower, he might just be able to find a special someone who falls into that category ;) and what blooms from it is even more beautiful. ~*Co-owned story with ClarissaFairchild118 ( go follow her please, she's amazingly awesome ) We came up with the story line by screaming ideas through texts at each other. We will alternate who writes the chapters. All of the characters belong to J.K Rowling except the second-gen characters that appear at the end. Also, the cover is not mine but we both love the art so much 🙂*~ Might, probably, definitely includes: *possible eating disorders (not very tho) *depressed Draco *suicide attempt(s) * cussing * gayyyyyyyyy ✨PLEASE READ ✨ (July 28, 2021) I literally can't thank all of you enough for all the support this book has gotten. It's crazy to me that this started out as an idea Clarissa and I bounced back and forth through text in January/ February of 2020, and now look at how far it's come. And even if it's not the most consistent or popular book out there, it was still my first, so from the bottomless pit of my soul, thank you.

[✓] VITA NOVA || Dramione by rainy-dazed

"Hermione," He whispers. I look up once more as I begin to shoot daggers at Malfoy for annoying me but instead, I meet sad, steely grey eyes. "Draco," I whisper back as something in my chest pulls as he leans over and sits next to me. "Hermione Granger," he whispers into my ear as goosebumps crawl onto my skin. Draco Malfoy called me by my real name and not mudblood, races through my mind. ~ Hermione and Draco both return to Hogwarts after the war to complete their 7th year. Draco's always kept his feelings about Hermione a secret until the perfect chance comes. Hermione doesn't know what these new feelings are. Draco leaves his toxic ex. Ginny and Blaise get together.

After -Drarry COMPLETE by iwatt0245607

Book 1/4 (Returned 2/4, Risen 3/4) My blood ran cold at her words. Everything went still. I noticed Ron and Hermione turn to look at me. Their faces showed pure shock. Then, In a tense whisper, with tears in his eyes, Harry spoke. "Damn you, Weasley." It's now been 10 years since the battle of Hogwarts and Harry has great deal of mental struggles as a result of the course his life has taken. Ginny has tried to help him, but he is unperceptive to her efforts. It's not until Draco Malfoy unexpectedly reenters his life, that things start taking a few turns. Will Harry make it though the battles that rage on in his mind? --This first book and a half is Rough, quality-wise. It's too severe to edit. Y'all are just going to have to give it a chance. I promise that it gets way better as you go through the four books.-- Trigger warnings for this whole thing. Mentions of abuse, self harm, suicidal thoughts. etc. The plot, and some minor characters, are the only thing that belongs to me and my friend This story can also be found under the same title on: Ao3 (username: Greeneggsandham25) Achievements: #19 Teddy Lupin (April 27, 2025) #50 anxiety disorder (February 28, 2021) #42 Scorpius (February 21, 2021)
