Draco and Hermione have kept their relationship a secret from everyone; but, after three years of constant lies and deceit, Hermione has had enough. After she offers an ultimatum, Draco agrees to go public; but Hermione learns prejudice and hatred are not traits only common to the Slytherin house. Labeled as a betrayer of her friends and Gryffindor, Hermione must make a decision about what matters most; in so doing, she finds that one decision could change everything.
This piece is one I like to label an "alternate history". You'll find some of the details of the story coincide with how JK Rowling wrote them; but, for the purpose of this story, many things have been changed; not so much you'll hate it though, I hope.
Madeleine Aldaine was a poor girl, she relied on her dad for everything. Because she was an Eight and her dad was a rebel, it was the only way they could survive. But what happens when her dads killed and she's left to fend for herself?
She somehow ends up at the selection, not caring what happens. Just wanting to get away from the people, that want her killed.
And when she tells herself she doesn't deserve the Prince but somehow see's herself falling for him?
