Summary
“I need you to have sex with me.”
Draco stared at her, sure he had misheard. “Pardon?”
Hermione looked up at the ceiling, taking a deep breath. “I have it on good— I have heard— oh bloody hell,” she muttered. “I’m bad in bed. I need practice.”
His lungs had entirely stopped working. “Practice,” he repeated dully.
“Yes, practice.”
“At sex.”
“At sex.”
“And you came to me why?”
“Because what else are we going to do here this month?”

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
CURRENTLY ON HIATUS
In a world divided into black and white, Hermione Granger has always been certain where she stands— on the "good" side, with her best friends. That is, until she returns to Hogwarts for her sixth year and starts paying attention to Draco Malfoy. While Harry is determined to expose him, to catch him in the act and prove his guilt, Hermione is, somehow, the only one who truly sees Draco. She pieces together his secrets, trailing him from the library to the Room of Requirement, uncovering a truth far more complicated than she expected.
As war looms and the lines between right and wrong blur, Hermione finds herself questioning everything she thought she knew about morality, loyalty, and even herself. Because Draco Malfoy isn’t just a Death Eater in the making—he’s a boy with shaking hands, a breaking heart, and a choice that isn’t a choice at all. And despite everything, she can’t seem to look away.

Summary
Hermione Granger is a shop girl at Scrivenshaft’s. Year after year, Draco Malfoy visits on Christmas Eve in search of a gift.
~~~
He stands outside Scrivenshaft’s Quill Shop on Christmas Eve morning, per tradition.
Through the frosted, gilded windows, the shop appears empty, also per tradition. No one needs parchment and quills the day before Christmas, least of all Draco. Narcissa keeps the manor well stocked. He can pop in and select whatever suits his fancy at a moment’s notice.
What he does need is his yearly fix. He does not permit himself many indulgences these days. There’s only this and the occasional owl to stoke the undying embers of his heart. Or as Theo puts it, with his trademark combination of laughter and pity, “Time for your annual dose of torture, is it?”
