Summary
Love. It was once enough. Was it an aberration or does it stand the test once again?
Fifteen years have passed since the war ended, so why are all their paths entwining on the hallowed grounds they once called home.
And more importantly, what will they have to do to protect their children from the horrors of their pasts? Because if there is one resounding agreement, it is that these parents will go to extreme lengths to ensure their children do not face the horrors they themselves faced in their youth.
Draco and Hermione both have a past they have been burned by and a future they are wary of.
Slowburn. Bruised and Battered. Dark Academia. Enemies to Lovers (and I mean it).

Summary
Hermione Granger left the world believing Draco Malfoy had killed her.
Death changed everything.
Now her ghost is bound to the man she despises, tethered to him by a force neither of them understands. She remembers blood. His face. His guilt.
Draco Malfoy remembers everything.
But an ancient curse has stolen the one thing that could save them both: the truth.
As Hermione’s memories begin to unravel, reality fractures alongside them. Long-buried moments resurface. Impossible inconsistencies emerge. And the more she questions the night she died, the more she realizes her own mind may be the greatest deception of all.
The war did not end with Voldemort’s fall. It simply buried its final victim beneath secrets, curses, and carefully constructed lies.
Someone has spent years making sure the truth stayed buried.

Summary
"I need to speak to your lousy, great-great-whatever grandson!"
The dark-eyed Malfoy laughed. "Close enough. Down the stairs, take three lefts until you see a painting of a Griffin Hunt."
Hermione nodded, mind already on cursing Malfoy when the portrait's low baritone halted her.
"Oh, and Dolly?"
She glanced back despite herself, unease coiling in her gut.
"It's good to see you here."
Later, she wouldn't be able to recall whether she had marched towards Malfoy, or had fled from his ancestor's grin.

Hermione Granger thought attending the Malfoy Gala was going to be a one-night affair, but Malfoy Manor never intended to let her go. Isolated and alone, she is forced to face a system where personal freedom is up for deliberation, and continuity always prevails. Her only hope lies with Lord Draco Malfoy, an utter arse caught in a perpetual power struggle with his father, and an overly accommodating Narcissa, who seems to understand the Manor better than any Malfoy man ever could.Bookmarked by NCghost

Summary
Weeks before the Department of Mysteries, Hermione Granger receives an anonymous warning that saves Harry Potter from walking into Voldemort’s trap. She doesn’t know who sent it, only that someone inside Hogwarts chose betrayal over obedience.
When the Ministry falls and Hogwarts becomes a fortress for the hunted, the lines dividing ally from enemy begin to blur. As war closes in, Hermione finds herself drawn into an uneasy alliance with the last person she ever expected to trust.
Because sometimes mercy looks like betrayal.
And sometimes treason is the first step toward grace.Series
