Summary
Two Hogwarts Houses, both alike in dignity
In fair Scotland, where we lay our scene,
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny,
Where magic blood makes magic hands unclean.The strife of war-torn star-cross'd lovers
Is now the traffic of our AO3 page;
The which, if you with patient eyes attend,
What here shall miss, our toil shall strive to mend. -

Summary
“Going to hit me, Granger?”
She huffed and pulled away, straightening up and brushing her shaking hand down the front of her white robes.
“Wouldn’t be the first time.”
Granger ignored him and walked back to her desk, a resolute expression on her face.
“What if I say please?”

DRACO MALFOY IS DIRECTIONLESS, unless crashing and burning qualifies as moving in a direction. He’s perfectly content to piss away his time in pubs and dark alleys until his debauchery becomes too public. Wizengamot-mandated therapy is the last stop before Azkaban. If imbibing is off the table, terrorising his Healer might be the next best thing.
HERMIONE GRANGER IS NO LONGER AT THE TOP OF HER CLASS, and truth be told, it rankles. Proving the validity of her experimental research will finally allow her to move forward. And she’ll be damned if she lets a certain blond-haired ponce hold her back from the success of this study.
This is a story of redemption and forgiveness, with a good deal of pining, prose, and wanking along the way.

[art] want is a weed by baitscribble (baitswitch) for goldrushrenegade

Summary
Gods, how she wishes she was a girl instead of a cat. That he was affectionate towards her like this while knowing it was her, was affectionate like this because it was her. She wants more than him holding her hand procedurally to cast a healing charm. More than glimpses of his naked body as he gets dressed.
To be a girl, lying next to him while he read. The want is rooted in her chest, perhaps has been for a long time now, and is flaring now under the direct heat of his touch. Like a weed that flourishes despite only catching glimpses of sunshine; his eyes lighting up at the sight of her, soft touches of affection, murmured words for just the two of them—there you are, sweetheart.
At first, his attention was enough. But no matter how much sunshine she gets, she only wants him more; a greedy, invasive ivy, climbing and twisting around him until they’re inextricably bound. The fruit it bears is poisonous, of course.
From a girl; a cat; a tragedy, ch. 16: want is a weed, by goldrushrenegade

Summary
The rest of us are forbidden the use of wands, conduits of any kind. The message is clear. You are not here because you are special. You are here so we can keep an eye on you.
Then he swoops off to do whatever it is that men with power do. Before my first Welcome Ceremony, I had only ever seen one image of Dumbledore: a photo of him standing solemnly next to Gellert Grindelwald, Emperor of Magic. The two men looked directly at the camera, their tailored-suited chests facing each other. Their robes billowed impressively out behind them.
When I saw him in person, I was struck by the amount of grey streaking his hair.
