Summary
Draco was sure there was something wrong with Hermione Granger. The signs were all there:
- Falling asleep in class
- No longer raising her hand (like a total swot)
- A suspicious amount of trips to the looAnd most egregious of all, she was ignoring him. Him. Draco Malfoy: He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Ignored.
So naturally, he needed to fix her. But he was no Saint Potter. He wasn’t doing this out of the goodness of his heart.
Except it seemed his heart had other plans.
--------------
“Granger,” Malfoy hissed under his breath. “Go snore somewhere else.”
“It’s called listening,” Hermione whispered out of the corner of her mouth. “I’m focusing on the sound of his voice — and I don’t snore.”
“You do snore,” he repeated, lips hovering somewhere near her ear. “Occasionally, you even drool.”

Summary
Hermione Granger is a serious reporter. She writes about things like politics and social justice, not Draco Malfoy.
But when the stakes change, and the story has never mattered more, how far will she go to make the front page? Especially when the assignment involves an ex intent on rewriting it all.
---------------
“Don’t.”
“Don’t what?”
“Make it seem like we have history.”
“We have more than that.”

Summary
Hermione Granger never went to Hogwarts. She gave up a life of magic to stay by her ailing father's side.
Draco Malfoy never knew his father. Lucius Malfoy was sentenced to Azkaban as a Death Eater and punished accordingly after the Order defeated the Dark Lord (for the first and last time).
Years later, their paths cross at King's Cross Station. Hermione is a ticket attendant, working several jobs to make ends meet, and Draco is a Hogwarts professor, commuting weekly on the Hogwarts Express. And then there's Theodore Nott: Draco's best friend, and the man Hermione has fallen hopelessly in love with at first sight (much to Draco's dismay).
---------------
Working at King's Cross station has its perks:
- It gives Hermione plenty of time to read
- She gets to see her "Handsome Stranger" (the charming man she's certain she's fallen for)Working at King's Cross station has its drawbacks, too:
- Namely, "Jack Frost" (her "Handsome Stranger's" incredibly rude friend, whose frigid glare could turn someone's heart to ice with one glance)A Dramione retelling of: While You Were Sleeping.

Summary
If there’s anything Dr. John Granger knows, it's this: oral hygiene is extremely important, and his daughter is in desperate need of a little help in the love department. When a new patient visits his office, he's impressed by the young man's respectful nature, strong handshake, and, of course, his brilliant smile.
OR: Draco visits a certain Muggle dentist with hopes of leaving with more than just a free toothbrush.

“You know, Draco, you can tell a lot about a person by how they take care of their teeth — more than you’d think, actually.”
