Summary
It's 2003. Draco Malfoy, Hermione Granger, and Severus Snape travel back in time to put an end to the sinister presence in all their lives once and for all. Draco and Hermione decide to pose as seventh years alongside the students of Hogwarts in 1975 to create change and solve all their problems. But will it work? Maybe they had no idea what problems were till they did this.
The power of love is a curious thing, indeed.

That’s the Power of Love is yet another gr8t story from Gr8t_78, this time with a time travel plot inspired by the Back to the Future movies.
The initial premise of Severus wanting to go back in time to be with Lily may be slightly silly; this is ‘crack treated seriously’ after all. And there are indeed quite a few serious parts of the story, as well as fluff and spice and love drama, involving multiple versions of Draco and Hermione.
Timeline shenanigans like this requires a clear head both on the writer and the reader, and I think Gr8t_78 manages to tie it well together.
There’s also small nods to other fics in this fandom, like a High Reeve being present in an alternative, dystopian timeline. I’m also quite sure I’ve seen a Lucius Malfoy with a hilarious nautical kink, but I don’t remember what fic that was…

Summary
“Parvati Patil and Seamus Finnegan.” Both Parvati and Seamus smiled at each other widely and walked up, leaving just three more students. Hermione scanned the room: Ernie MacMillan, Luna Lovegood, and Draco Malfoy.
Please don't be Malfoy,
Please don't be Malfoy, she begged internally.“Ernest MacMillan and Luna Lovegood,”
Fuck, fucking fuck.
----------------------------------------
Hermione wants nothing more than to never see Hogwarts again but as she tries to move forward with her life, the mandatory return of all 8th-year students and the announcement of the year-long Unity Project, called the Scavenger Hunt, adds more weight to her already full mental load. To make matters worse, she's paired with her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.As the year progresses, unlikely partners face challenges together in various Scavenger Hunts, testing their teamwork, resilience, and eventual understanding.
Will the Wizarding World heal or will these Gryffindor/ Slytherin duos tear each other apart?

The Scavenger Hunt is a long, great ensemble story, featuring Hermione, Harry, Ron, Ginny, Draco, Theo, Pansy and Blaise. Established relations are painfully broken and new ones are painfully forged in the wake of a forced, inter-house ‘Unity’ program during 8th year.

Summary
“Oh, hello, you,” Hermione said softly. It was a little frog, no bigger than the hollow of the palm of her hand. Gently, she scooped it up in her hand and smiled. It really was very cute.
Then it opened its mouth and said: “What the fuck, Granger?”
That was when she screamed and threw the frog straight back into the plants.

Bookmarker's Notes
The Unspeakable’s New Groove is a new, hilarious fic, with some serious moments — crack treated seriously as the tag says.
Accidentally walking in on Neville’s experiment that goes wrong, Draco is turned into a little green frog and is subsequently discovered by Hermione. After the initial shock of encountering a sarcastic frog, she and and Neville (reluctantly) decide to help him.
From the beginning to the epifrogue, the story is full of hilarious scenes and puns, including Malfrog hiding in Neville’s collar, being wingman to Neville’s nervous flirting with Hannah Abbot.
Being a wandless, helpless, cute little frog gives Draco some perspective on his life, and Hermione some insight into who the real Draco is.
Recommend if you want to read a funny, absurd story with some thoughtful moments.

Summary
NOW COMPLETE: Slow burn enemies to lovers road trip across Australia with banter, romance and political intrigue.
Draco Malfoy is on a quest to save his son. Hermione Granger is on a quest to steal his quest. What could go wrong?
Terrified that his son Scorpius may one day succumb to a centuries-old blood curse, Draco embarks on a desperate search for a mythical fountain rumoured to hold the power to heal. Tracking ancient magic across Australia would be hard enough on its own, but with Hermione Granger (freshly divorced, endlessly clever, and irritatingly determined) insisting on joining him, the task becomes even more infuriating.
Equal parts adventure, romance, and self-discovery, this is a story about redemption and the healing magic of second chances.

Just finished Lazarus by constantblathering, which has got to be one of the best underrated fics of the last few years.
Draco and Hermione are in their 40s, he is widowed, and she is recently divorced and has lost her reelection as Minister for Magic after a smear-campaign and conspiracy in the Ministry.
Draco wants to seek out the Fountain of Youth to make a potion to remove the Greengrass blood curse from Scorpius. Hermione wants to escape it all and forces herself along on Draco's quest.
And so begins a long, great story filled with humor, adventures, development of feelings, and reflections on who they have been, who they are, and who they want to be. No Ron-bashing, and no third-act breakup.
Greatly recommended! -

Notes of Melancholy is a beautiful, short fic about using music for healing and contrition.
