Summary
“You think that your own pain is so large and unique that you can’t see anything past it. But you can’t keep acting like I’m the villain for trying to help you live through it. You didn’t deserve Azkaban, Draco. You didn’t deserve to be a pawn in a hate groups' crusade. But I didn’t deserve to be tortured in your home, then have to live with the man who watched it happen, berating me as if I’m the one who should apologise because I didn’t break in the same way you did.”
Draco Malfoy is found alive in Azkaban after five years, near death. He is traumatised, unstable, furious at the world, and drowning in the ghosts of his torture. Hermione Granger, now in charge of the Deradicalisation and Reintegration department of the Ministry, discovers something she shouldn't have. Malfoy was never tried, never convicted and does not seem to exist on record.
Tasked with facilitating the rehabilitation of someone who hates her back into society at the expense of her own personal life falling apart, it quickly becomes clear to Hermione that someone had never intended for him to escape.
A tale of two deeply flawed, deeply sad individuals and the pain that binds them together. This is not a happy story.

Summary
His name was Draco Malfoy. He wrote reports. He still came to work. He did not go home. He did not sit in Theodore Nott’s chair, and no one else was allowed to either. But one day Hermione Granger is sitting in Theodore Nott's chair. Hermione Granger is rewriting his report. Hermione Granger is smoking in his office, and her ashtray is sitting in the imprint of Theodore's coffee mug.
There used to be frogs in the pond behind Malfoy Manor.
There are not anymore.After a near-death experience leaves Draco severely wounded, as well as his Auror partner and best friend Theodore Nott dead, Draco is adrift, suffering hallucinations of Theo, self-medicating through anything he can get his hands on. Hermione Granger is one of the things that he can get his hands on.

Summary
There was a ghost at her door. It was the only explanation for the man standing there.
“Hi Granger. Care to invite me in?”
A boggart, perhaps. Because quite frankly, there was no other explanation for how Draco Malfoy had appeared at her doorstep, two years after he went missing.
“You’re supposed to be dead,” Hermione said flatly.
“Ah,” he said. It was a soft, contemplative sound. “Well, I am here. And I came so very far to find you. Invite me in, if you please.”

Sometimes, the only thing you need is a creature of the night.

If We Have to Pretend /// The Rise of Grådrakars by jodzi

Summary
In an effort to sell the illusion that post-war Britain is finally healed, the Ministry launches a glossy initiative and crowns its boldest symbol of unity yet: Hermione Granger, the Ministry’s sharpest legislator, and Draco Malfoy, a notorious bachelor… in a relationship. But when Hermione catches a glimpse of Draco’s life beyond the cameras, she realizes the Ministry’s pretending game was never the dangerous part. As secrets pile up and Draco’s hidden world surfaces—stretching beyond London, beyond the press, beyond anything Hermione can vote into law—she must decide what she’s willing to risk for a man who’s been pretending far longer than she has… and what it will cost them both when the pretending ends.
OR
What starts as a glossy PR initiative turns into a collision of secrets, loyalty, and the hardest choices either of them ever expected to make.
OR
I started writing this years ago convinced it would stay a simple PR arc, but the story grew a life of its own and became something I never saw coming😂

Summary
It’s the smell of it. Chemical. Bitter and sharp as a raw edge on metal. Just a hint of it as she passes him at breakfast — but enough to stop her dead, mid-step.
There is Wolfsbane in his tea.

Summary
For a moment, she's almost giddy. Because Draco Malfoy's been ruined by this war and he's as out of place as she is and — yes, he has scars too. He's got an even bigger one. She wonders whether one day they'll compare sizes.
