Summary
Perhaps there is a good reason why, through all of their chance meetings in all the years they’ve known each other, they’ve never said a proper goodbye.
Perhaps they never needed to.
Or: Leon and Ada, told in various encounters throughout the years.

Summary
After Draco Malfoy returned to England, he wrote a letter he never intended to send, but his owl Hades had different plans, resulting in Hermione Granger receiving an anonymous confession she wasn’t supposed to read.
Or
You’ve Got Mail (With Owls)…sort of.
An epistolary slow burn.

Summary
Draco Malfoy is not, necessarily, a good guy. Maybe he could have been, once, but he chose differently. Some (everyone) might say he chose wrong.
After years in Azkaban and an extended house arrest sentence, he is released unto a world that somehow has only gotten worse while he was away… and rather than fix it, he falls right into step.
Or does he?

Summary
Tensions are high. People are remembering how much they used to hate each other. A masquerade ball will keep things calm.
It won't leave Hermione frantically trying to cover up the fact she's slept with her worst enemy.
It won't mean she now sees Draco Malfoy in a different light than she did before.
It definitely won't make things awkward now that she might be his boss.
It won't. It won't.A masquerade ball is a great idea.

Summary
How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.
The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.
Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?Series
