"Times have changed. They are all a bit older, wearing their best crimson and gold 'nice muggle clothing.' Their eyes are a bit wearier, their skin is a bit more lined, and their smiles are much more forced.
Times have changed; the Golden Trio is tired of the scrutiny. The circus. The adoration and the hate. And on their faces, you can see the wear and tear of being the most famous people in the wizarding world.
Times have changed; instead of finding Horcruxes, they supported each other in being picked apart by reporters. They didn't have long talks. No chess games. No quidditch matches. No sneaking about the castle. They were three parts to a puzzle of grief and grim determination to grin and bear it."
Post-war Hermione Granger is attempting to figure out adulthood. When she is thrown into the atmosphere of a former rival and cared for by a close friend, she begins to remember who she is and what she wants.

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

Scarred but still yours
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****Complete

Voldemort is gone, (for good this time) and Harry is struggling with his purpose, his fate, his future.

Harry's not sure what to make of the new Draco and when they're paired up as partners in potions, Harry is anything but excited.
