Something Golden
"Hermione granger is undoubtedly the most irritatingly opinionated, patronizing, overbearing, excruciatingly optimistic ad self righteous human being I've ever met but there's something about her that draws you in, something golden." -D.M. This fic will begin during fifth year, will follow Draco's initiation and journey of being a death eater and follow through post battle of Hogwarts. It will loosely follow some canon events (timelines/dates may not be identical). Please take time to read the tags, while this story does contain some lighter moments and humor it does have a darker tone to it. WARNING : mentions of abuse, graphic depictions of violence, self harm and mentions of suicide.Complete
Untouchable - Draco Malfoy x Reader
After the war, Draco Malfoy is sentenced to supervised probation at Malfoy Manor, watched by a Ministry-appointed Auror who never wanted to return to Hogwarts, let alone guard one of its most infamous ex-students. Sharp-tongued, fearless, and determined to keep her distance, she sees Draco as just another assignment, until the job becomes something far darker. As the danger closes in, lines blur between duty and desire, trust and betrayal. Watching Draco means protecting him. Protecting him means getting closer than she ever intended. And getting closer may cost them both everything. . lots of smut, if you're sensitive to it, I recommend checking my other stories instead!

Saved by Malfoy*
Alright, this is the edited and twisted version. I completely changed it, but at the same time, I kept everything that was there before. Description: I was running. My bare, bloody feet were screaming at me to stop and rest. The cold breeze freezing my barely covered body. My stomach ached from hunger, and my legs threatened to give out at any moment. He was right behind me, getting closer by the second. I knew I lost. I couldn't escape him. He was much faster than me; he was only pretending to put up a struggle. I screamed as he tripped me and pinned me to the ground. The rough pavement scratched my soft skin. He knelt on my back, so I couldn't move. "Ron, please," I sobbed, "let me go." This is a version of Harry Potter where Harry died instead of Voldemort. Mudbloods were inslaved. Purebloods ruled the world. Disclaimer: I don't own the Harry Potter characters or places. I do own the plot, so back off please. Highest Ranking - #1 MudbloodComplete

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
