    Summary

    Some loves linger in echoes, in storm-wet streets and firelit rooms, in stolen glances and whispered confessions. They haunt, they ache, they remain, all too well.

    Summary

    When Hermione finally returns to London after nine years of building a career as a Magical Being Rights Advocate in Australia, she expects things to be at least somewhat like she remembered them. Instead, she returns to a world she doesn’t recognize. One in which Draco is now one of Harry's best friends—and trusted Auror partner—with their friend groups merged into one. And though Hermione has never acknowledged why she stayed in Australia for so long, it’s now obvious: she’s never really come to terms with the past. But if London is ever truly going to feel like home again, she’s going to have to face the ghosts that are now everywhere she turns, whether she’s ready to or not.

    “You know,” Draco said casually, “I’m not here to antagonize you. As much as you’d like to tell yourself I am.”

    “I don’t really care if you’re trying to or not. Your presence is antagonizing regardless of your intention.” Hermione didn’t even look over at him.

    He tilted his head with an eyebrow-raised shrug. “Yeah, I heard that a lot ten years ago. Thought I’d gotten to a point where I was on the other side of making people feel that way.”

    “Not in my eyes, Malfoy.”

    He glanced at her, "Not for now, anyway."

    Summary

    (THIS IS AN ENTIRE REWRITE OF THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE, AND THE SECOND PART IS A REWRITE OF THE DEATHLY HOLLOWS.)

    He was barely a man, already drowning in a legacy he didn’t choose.
    She was a girl on the right side of the war until she wasn’t.

    No one knew about Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy.
    Not during sixth year. Not when the snogging started in the dark.
    Not when secrets passed between them like lifelines.
    Not even when their hidden bond lit the match that helped ignite the war.

    She didn’t mean to start it.
    He didn’t think he’d survive it.

    But love was never part of the plan.
    And war doesn’t care who you kiss in secret.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy suffers from a rare, progressive curse that no one has been able to break. His magic weakens, his body fails, and the best specialists helplessly throw up their hands. The prognosis is merciless: one year to live, perhaps less.
    Hermione Granger, one of the best in her field, a specialist in hopeless cases, is asked for a consultation. Reluctantly, she agrees to take on the assignment, which at first seems like just another difficult case.
    But this curse doesn't fit any known classification. Neither does the patient himself—surprisingly likable, intelligent, at times disarmingly normal. The more Hermione asks, the more clearly she sees that the answers she seeks aren't found in medical books—they're in him. And he's not willing to give her all of them.
    Over time, what begins to disturb her isn't the curse itself, but how easily everyone has accepted it. How quietly they disappear, those whom no one tries to save.

    Summary

    After the death of both his parents, Draco is sent to live with the Tonks family under quiet supervision. Grief-stricken, angry, and increasingly isolated, he returns to Hogwarts burdened by a legacy he no longer believes in and a desire for revenge he's not sure how to carry out.

    Meanwhile, Hermione is trying — and mostly failing — to make sense of Ron (who has become a potions progidy overnight with the help of a certain textbook), and why patrolling the castle with Malfoy is the only time her brain actually shuts up.

    The war is getting closer. The lines are blurring. And somewhere between patrols, potion assignments, and almost-friendship, two people who were never meant to understand each other start to.

    Fic covers some canon events from sixth year & eventually the deathly hallows.
    Mega slow burn with some minor Hermione/Ron (doesn't last very long)

    E for eventual smut
    Fic has been pre-written
