hypothetically

By malfxys

“That Christmas holiday,” he says, not bothering to give back the personal space he’s just invaded. “Four? Five? Years ago. When you took me out in Muggle London to the fair for the first time.”

The Five Stages of Veela Mating

By Sweetly Sarcastic

There are five stages to Veela mating. The last one is mate or die. Given his mate is Hermione Granger, Draco fears that for him it'll be the latter.

Of Cats, Artists and Small Towns

By CosmicCthulhu

After the war, Draco moves into a small quaint muggle village – with nothing but his art supplies and the scars he gathered through the years – hoping to find some inner peace. And maybe he’d be able to do just that if it wasn’t for a pesky orange cat and a beautiful muse that refused to leave his mind.

Curls

By echoesofmyfootsteps

“The nickname was always my little indulgence—the one thing I shared only with you. Got you to react to me—think only of me. Like the whisp of hope that I could stay tethered to you somehow—however boorishly I used it.”

One-shot taking place over many years at Hogwarts, as Draco Malfoy drives Hermione Granger crazy by teasing her about her hair, using one very special and only-between-them nickname. Gilbert Blythe-Anne Shirley vibes.

Remember Us As War (but call us forgiveness)

By Anyaparadox

Following the devastation of the Battle of Hogwarts, The Wizarding Population Growth Act is put into effect. All witches and wizards will be matched with their most compatible partner. Failure to comply will not be tolerated. Survival is key.

Hermione reminds herself of this. Survival. She can fix this, if only she can survive. The war has made this a task she is equipped for. Marrying Draco Malfoy will hardly be the worst thing she's ever endured.

The Registry

By WordsWithWays

Three years after the war, a curse is wreaking havoc on fertility in the wizarding world.

Now, the Ministry has mandated that those who can still make magical children "do their part" with obligatory dating within The Fertility Registry.

---

"This act of selflessness on my part doesn’t mean that I don’t want the best. I always have. I always will. And, after assessing every candidate, I’ve decided objectively that it's you."

"Is that really your sales pitch, Malfoy? Please tell me this is some sort of joke.”

Try Again

By Scorpia11

She knew this had been coming, but it didn't mean she hadn't prayed for a bit more time. She wasn't quite ready to lose him, but what should she have expected after three months of separation. Three months of waking up to a cold bed. Three months of lonely quiet nights after putting their children to bed without him.

Hermione’s Diary

By RideBoldlyRide

She filled every page for nearly ten years, word upon word. At the end, there was nothing left to do but say goodbye. But Hermione’s daughter watches the words disappear, leaving blank pages to make friends on the other side of the parchment…

Who’s on the other side, and why do they know so much about a father she knows so little about?

—

If you are who I think you are, Cassie, then yes, I do know of your father, and I think I do know why your mother doesn’t want my name used around you.

The words rise to the surface only to disappear again from the page.

Why?

His response is immediate.

To keep you safe.

The Boy in Her Head

By mcplestreet

“You’ll never be able to love me.”

She blinked at him in disbelief.  Maybe he hit his head during whatever happened with Harry and he was delirious. “Is that something you’re concerned about?” she stared at him expectantly but he turned his head away from her and stayed silent.  “Do you love me Draco?”

He let out a small sigh, “It doesn’t matter does it?”

At the bring of puberty Hermione Granger is finally able to communicate telepathically with her soulmate. She often wondered who the man that would eventually sweep her off her feet would be. But when it's the very person that's made her miserable from her first day she's certain the Universe made some sort of mistake. Because surely he is someone she will never love, and she is surely someone he never could.

Check (Mate)

By simplifiedemotions

Soulmates? Preposterous. Soulmates with Draco Malfoy? Hermione would sooner believe that Voldemort had miraculously come back from the dead than entertain such a thought.

Why, then, did her heart beat an irregular rhythm whenever she caught sight of him?

A Season For Setting Fires

By mightbewriting

Torture smells like spring.

Like daffodils and tulips and snowdrops. Like the bouquets brought inside from the manor gardens to lend their life to cold stone walls that house criminals. Easter mixed with madness makes sense in this twisted landscape; Draco’s only chance at survival is to endure it. He knows this. But that doesn’t quell the twitching in his calves, the flexing in his fingers.

Granger lifts her hand off the floor and Draco nearly loses his lunch, stomach churning as he watches her extend her arm, reaching through the translucent cord, reaching towards him. He tries to blink it away, blink blink blink, but both she and the cord are stubborn, persistent things.

[In which a soulmate bond appears while Hermione is tortured at Malfoy Manor. Canon divergent from that moment onward.]

When (One) Least Expects It

By sweetestsorrows (katschako)

For his entire childhood, Draco dreamt of the day he would attend Hogwarts. He would be sorted into Slytherin, as his parents and grandparents had been. He would rule the school as royalty among his peers. It was his birthright as a Malfoy, after all.

His life is turned upside-down when, on a mere whim, his father elects to send Draco to Durmstrang for his magical education, instead. Away from his mother, his childhood friends, and even Lucius himself, Draco makes several realisations: He cannot allow his father to dictate his future. So, as soon as he turns of age, Draco plans to cut all ties with the man. And, in order to do so, he can only rely on himself.

When the opportunity arises to study abroad for a year at Hogwarts, Draco seizes it immediately to spite his father and reclaim a bit of control over his life. His plan remains the same, that is until he meets someone who threatens to change all of his priorities.
