Y/N's laughs echoed through the empty corridors of Hogwarts as she runs hand in hand with Draco. He couldn't help but smile, he's done something he hasn't done before. His eyes sparkled as he look at her face, it was full of happiness. Draco didn't know what he felt, but it was like his stomach turned around. And he knew it wasn't because of the adrenaline of pranking Filch, he knew, it was because of her. He knew, he was falling for her, Y/N Black. Falling for her was a risk, and even if it's the other way around it still was. But what's life without a little risk? • • • • • • • • • [disclaimer, i do not own the Harry Potter franchise, or you, i only own the plot This story starts at year five, and it just goes on.

Draco Malfoy: cold, distant, ignorant, rude, arrogant, and above all else, downright gorgeous. Juniper Hartley: caring, intelligent, unfathomably sweet, and above all else, downright gorgeous. As their paths cross unexpectedly and his mind bewildered with reasons he can't explain as to why he can't stop thinking about her, he's forced to examine the possibility of letting someone in, to sharing emotion with another person other than his thoughts. Dark times lie ahead in their future as Draco's family demands Death Eater, but his soul demands something, or someone, else. What lengths would you go to keep the person you love most safe? ________________________________________________ "I do believe such a place exists," he nodded, "and if we can't find it I would build you that white Tudor cottage with the stained glass windows, right on the edge of evergreen trees so that when the fog comes in the early morning, the air will be full of mist that carries their evergreen scent into that meadow full of flowers and grass." Draco spoke quietly and swiftly as if he could plan in his mind exactly how it would be, as if he could simply pick it up from his thoughts and place it in her hands so it could be her reality.

He asked as a smirk formed on his face. This brought Hermione back from admiring-Malfoy mode. It took less than a moment for the quick-wit Granger to show up. "Don't flatter yourself Malfoy. I would rather gaze into an Orb than to look at you." She stated in a matter-of-fact tone. As she was about to turn away, she heard Draco muttering "Filthy mudblood." Instead of walking away from him, as always, she stepped towards him, lifted her heels, brought her lips closed to his ear and whispered, "You wish you knew how filthy I really am.." •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Disclaimer: All characters rightfully belong to the amazing JK Rowling. After the war all the students were called to complete their last year, seventh year, but none knew that this year would turn Hermione's and Draco's life upside down. They both developed a feeling for each other, other than hate. But there's a twist. They are the worst people on planet to really admit their feelings. How will they be together? How will they admit their love to one another? Read to find out!

"You're a good friend, Hermione." She narrowed her eyes at him. "So we're on a first-name basis now?" He shrugged. "I feel it's only fair after spending every moment of our free time in a lab together. Also," he scratched at his chin in thought, "I'm pretty sure you're dating my best mate." Disclaimer: I DO NOT OWN THE CHARACTERS OR WORLD, those belong to J.K. Rowling. I am writing this for fun, and for no monetary gain.

"You're a goddamn catalyst, you know that?" He said slowly, the wind picking up and blowing his hair into his eyes. "Every single emotion I feel, they become whole damn explosions because of you." I sat there frozen, my breath caught in my throat. I make him feel explosions. I think of quicksilver eyes and pinkies brushing against one another and shared earbuds. You make me feel how I imagine touching the stars would be. Say it. Say it. Say it. Nothing comes out. Draco's expression shuttered closed, his spine going rigid. He stood up quickly, towering over me, and he held his broken arm out. "I know we bleed the same, Granger. I bled for you." _____ slowburn dramione starting fifth year book 1 in The Starlight Duology spotify book playlist: "the stars aligned" (each song in order fits every chapter) *I do not own any of these characters or this fictional world. All rights go to JK Rowling* Disclaimer: some parts towards the end are straight from the original Deathly Hallows book/movie, more towards the last few chapters becausa jkr wrote the scenes well and I didn't want to rewrite canon. This was to highlight the outcomes of the story that do not change despite Draco and Hermione's relationship and everything that entails. I added a few things such as changing it to Hermione's POV, adding her thoughts, and changing some details to fit the story.

From the moment Lady Prideful encounters Mr Arrogant, all hell breaks loose. Their mutual intolerance renders them the bane of each other's existence. But, what happens when they become increasingly fixated on one another amidst escalating tensions and rising temperatures? Will their shared disdain unravel into something more dangerous? Well, Adria Harlow has always liked to play with fire. And let's just say, she knows exactly how to provoke each and every one of Draco Malfoy's buttons, stoking the flames and igniting the Inferno. (This is a story that is characterised by an excruciatingly PAINFUL slow-burn romance between two enemies, featuring lots of irresistible temptation...)

Draco turned and smiled at her when he heard her enter the room. "Hello, Hermione." "Can you please stop smiling at me like that?" she snapped. His smile faltered. "Smiling at you like what?" "Like, like, like we're friends or something!" she stammered. "Don't you remember who I am? Or did you hit your head a little too hard during the war?" she continued angrily. "What the hell are you talking about Hermione?" Draco was frowning now, making a visible effort to curtail his own irritation. "Of course I remember you. I was simply being polite to make this easier on both of us." This is the prequel to Fated to Love You and follows the development of Draco and Hermione's friendship during their last year at Hogwarts! Can be read as a stand alone but I suggest starting with Fated to Love You! All characters belong to the fabulous Jk Rowling!
