Summary
It was proving an awful year for Draco Malfoy.
His father was in prison, madness growing by the day; his all-powerful and unpredictable master had given him an impossible task simply to find an overly-complicated and overly-dramatic excuse to murder him; and finally, his girlfriend — who could help tremendously by offering some much needed stress-relief — was being a total prude!
That all changes when Hermione Granger catches him entering the Room of Requirement. Lucky enough to subdue her under the Imperius Curse, Draco enlists the golden girl’s help in accomplishing his mission… and, to be of use in other ways.

Summary
Hermione Granger hasn't truly lived in years. As a Senior Lead Unspeakable in the Department of Mysteries antiquities division, she's replaced every friendship, warm meal, and quiet evening with work. The only person who seems to notice she's disappearing is the last person she'd expect: Draco Malfoy, her insufferable colleague who sends her home when her hands start shaking and slips Pepper-Up Potions into her desk when she isn't looking.
She doesn't know he's been in love with her for years. She doesn't know he's waiting for her to see him.
When an ancient Greek vessel unleashes a surge of wild magic that binds them together, unable to be more than two feet apart, the walls they've spent years building begin to crumble. And beneath the panic and the proximity, a quieter, more inconvenient magic begins to take root. One no spell can unwork. One that feels, inconveniently, like falling in love.

Summary
When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a mandatory Eighth Year, she is grateful for the pause — a chance to recover from the war and the nightmares that still plague her. Determined to find happiness and enjoy her final year, Hermione expects healing to be quiet. But of course it isn’t. This is Hogwarts. A small group of Slytherins approach her in confidence, asking her to help Draco Malfoy before it’s too late. Hermione is forced to make a choice — one that pulls her back into old tensions, dangerous secrets, and the unsettling realization that some of the most brutal battles are fought inside one’s mind.

It is NOT a HEA in case you missed the tags.
Red is my favourite colour on a fictional man, but even I know that red is also the colour of blood.

Summary
NOW COMPLETE! :)
Bored with Ministry work and a lackluster love life, Hermione Granger decides it's time for a change. She applies and is admitted into the top magic graduate school in Europe, but arrives to find (to her surprise and dismay) that her childhood bully, Draco Malfoy, has been accepted into the same program. They are both looking for a fresh start, but what if all they end up finding is each other?
From Chapter 13:
She watched his eyes turn molten as they roved over her. Then the hand holding her wrist loosened and he slid it all the way down the length of her arm before enclosing it around the back of her neck. She arched instinctively as goosebumps raced over the surface of her body.
He exhaled through his nose.
His eyes met hers and they were full of desire, and longing.
“Malfoy,” she said softly. “Be good.”
