Destiny ~ Dramione

"I don't hate you," Hermione's voice was barely a whisper against his chest.

"I know sweetheart" Draco murmured, his arms tightening around her.

She looked up at him, her eyes brimming with tears. "But I should hate you," she confessed.

"You should," he cupped her face between his hands, eyes burning with intensity. "And it makes me the luckiest bastard in the world that you can't manage to" he rasped.

The war is over, but the scars remain.

Returning to Hogwarts for their eighth year, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are determined to leave the past behind and focus on rebuilding their futures. But the castle's familiar halls now carry an unfamiliar weight-a reminder of everything they've lost and the prejudices that once divided them.

Forced to coexist in an environment striving for unity, Hermione and Draco begin to see each other in ways they never thought possible. Beneath the differences that once fueled their animosity lies an undeniable connection-one they can't seem to ignore, no matter how hard they try.

But old habits die hard, and both are reluctant to embrace the possibility of something more. Torn between their shared history and an uncertain future, they'll have to decide if they can let go of the past - or if destiny will intervene before they decide.
