“Give it up, Draco. You found what people spend a lifetime searching for, and you just let her leave without you.” Blaise fell back onto the leather sofa and crossed his ankles, looking pensively into the fire. “What I don’t understand is why. You keep saying that if anyone will win, it’s her. And yet here you are.”

Draco opened his mouth to deny, deny, deny. But what was the point? Blaise had seen them together in the prefects’ bath, and later, when Draco tried brushing it off as a casual hook-up, Blaise had only shaken his head and said, ‘I saw your face,’ as if that was supposed to override any lies that came out of Draco’s mouth.

His stomach had been a tangle of nerves since Granger had kissed him goodbye and disappeared with Potter and Weasley to save the world. That was the issue with Gryffindors, forever killing themselves over the next big heroic deed. He wasn’t like them.

“What would you have done?” sniped Draco. It was easy to cast judgement from afar, but Blaise wasn’t living it. “Would you just turn your back on your mother? On your friends? To hell with everyone if you’re in love?”

Blaise gave him a side-long look, grinning. “Are you in love?”

“You seem to think I am.”

“Do you see a future with her?”

“If the world wasn’t so fucked up?”

“Yeah.”

Draco didn’t really have to imagine it because it’s all he’d been thinking about since he first kissed Granger nine months ago.

It wasn’t just her physical being—the charged, tantalising pull of their bodies like opposing magnets—but a vision of what their life could look like. Granger didn’t need pure-blood persuasion to pave her way into the world. She could be self-made. And Draco would stand proudly beside her, as he did best. He could manage the accounts, pursue his hobbies, while ensuring Granger never felt alone navigating her mountainous ambitions.

Draco lived a satiated life, but with Hermione, all he knew was starvation. She was the one thing he didn’t want to barter or consume in small bites. If he had her, he was going to feast.

“It’s not that simple,” he concluded. “It’s not some playground romance anymore. She’s out there risking her life. I can’t afford to love her how I want if she’s just going to wind up dead.”

“Take this from someone who’s buried seven fathers—death is preventable.”

Draco looked up at Blaise, surprised.

His friend had an eerie look on his face, made worse by the fire casting strange shadows over him, but Draco knew the Zabinis had a complicated relationship with murder. And that’s what he meant: murder was preventable, not death.

“What makes you think I could protect her any better than Potter could?”

“The Dark Lord trusts you, you’re a sneaky fuck, and you’re in love. Nobody will fight harder to win.”

Donning a backpack full of survival gear, his wand, and the warmest clothes he owned, Draco used their matching bracelets to Port-Key to Granger the next Saturday morning.

She had woven the bracelets with colourful thread—red and gold for him, green and silver for her—and the next week, Draco had adhered matching charms to them. She didn’t know that he could sense her through it. That when she fingered the cool metal engraved with his constellation at night, he felt her presence. Or that it was a gateway to each other using the right spell.

Maybe he’d known he’d follow her all along.

The bracelet transported Draco to lush, crawling hills and enormous, craggy rocks. The sky hung bright white above him. He could sense Granger’s magic in the air, or maybe it was her perfume drifting in the breeze. He inhaled deeply, feeling closer to her already.

There was nobody around when he heard the gasp directly behind him.

He turned and saw the air wobble. The ward he hadn’t realised was there descended. Granger stood two feet away, eyes wide and lips parted. She was thin and pale and seemed afraid.

Regret washed over him. He should have come sooner.

“How do I know it’s really you?” she demanded, wand clutched tightly by her side, a combination of fear and hope flickering in her eyes.

Draco dropped his bag by his feet, taking three strong strides forward. He framed her cold cheeks in his hands, hoping she saw the look on his face and remembered how much she meant to him. He said, “Because nobody else knows how much I love you.”

He kissed her, and a second later, Granger threw her arms around his neck and kissed him back, sobbing.

“I’m here to stay,” he reassured her, holding her tightly. “I’m here to fight.”

And he thought of Blaise in the Slytherin common room, the only one who knew of Draco’s whereabouts, and their discussions of love and death. And he thought of the future he’d seen with Hermione, and he thought he could have it, maybe even a better version of it. One that didn’t involve him at home, pursuing hobbies, but being worth something, too. He could be that. He wanted to be that.

Draco wanted to feast.

Bad Kids by sodamnrad: She presses her hands on my chest and pushes. “We’re going too fast.” My hands fall away. The words are devastating.

It’s annoying. “Didn’t you want to come here?” She shrugs. “I thought I did, but now…” Her eyes move nervously to the bed. “I’m a virgin.”

Bite-Size Dramione - Under 5k (Part Two)

These are your bedtime stories, your palate cleansers, your individual serving sizes of serotonin. It’s okay to enjoy these even if you only read slow burn 100k+ fics, I promise. Live a little!

This is a sampling of some amazing favorites, but I’m always reading new things and will add to it regularly. If you find something you love, I know the author would love to hear it, and so would I! Take a deep dive into their catalog to find other gems.

Here's Part One, if you missed it. Part Two below:

Perfect Fit by @grangerdangerfics. E, 3.6k. “What’s the height difference like, when it comes to sex?” Ginny waggled her eyebrows suggestively.

My Name is Ruin by darkrivertempest. E, 3.6k. Tired of pleasing everyone but herself, Hermione meets her ruin in a Muggle club.

Variations on Intimacy by @icepower55. E, 3.6k. Afterwards, you stare at his ceiling, eyes tracing the thin cracks spidering into the center. “Do you ever feel like we’re just play-pretending at intimacy?”

Metals by @my-catal-rhythm. E, 3.6k. After a month of not seeing new piercings appear on his body, Hermione was about to give up and just assumed he stopped getting new ones—until she heard Theo telling everyone that Draco had stopped getting piercings after his fifth one a few weeks ago. She counted. Ear, navel, lip, tongue.

That's only four though?

Sunlight by @sweetestsorrows. T, 3.6k. A one-night stand with Hermione is hardly what Draco expected when he apologised to her at the start of their eighth year.

at the coffee table by @sodamnradd. M, 3.7k. Draco is the only Slytherin to return for eighth-year. Hermione is the only classmate who doesn't avoid him. Studying together in the common room, at the coffee table which becomes exclusively theirs, feelings for one another begin to unthaw.

Cat Daddy by @holygnocchi and hellodarknessdarling. M, 3.7k. While their friend groups have slowly blended over the years, Hermione and Draco have remained resolutely outside of each others' orbit. Until fate in the form of a furry friend takes matters into his own paws.

Cleanup on Aisle 9 ¾ by @eveningstruggle. M, 3.8k. Draco accidentally proposes to Granger and then goes grocery shopping.

Little Games by @qnqfanfic. E, 3.8k. Against her better judgment, Hermione Granger responds to a booty call.

Wet clothes, warm hearts by sarab3lla. E, 3.8k. It's Hermione's birthday and she's getting ready for her party when Draco surprises her by coming back from work earlier than expected.

The Vanishing Drawer by sodamnrad. E, 3.8k. She’d deposit the journal in the drawer and wait only a minute before it clunked back inside her desk. In between messages, she’d check the drawer and find it empty, meaning he was physically removing the notebook from his end, then sending it back to her. A vanishing drawer. Ingenious and tricky.

The Slap by @femmeecrivain. T, 3.9k. The slap happens, Draco's eyes are opened. And everything changes from there.

Game, Set, Matched by @charlipetidei, @morticiahavisham. T, 3.9k. “You just said you didn’t care about winning-” Draco started. “I said I didn’t care about getting tickets to the final,” Hermione interrupted, allowing a smug grin to part her lips. “I never said I didn’t want to win.”

Ceaselessly by @lovesbitca8. E, 3.9k. "She hadn’t meant to begin this way. But isn’t that how all great beginnings go? "

Work-Life Balance by @raven-m-3. E, 3.9k. “Keep trying, Malfoy. You’re good, but you’re not that good. ” In fact, he was. * When they fail to reach a consensus on the appropriate amount of holiday leave for their staff, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy find themselves in a rather unexpected means of negotiation.

Kiska by @senlinyu. M, 4k. In which Hermione has cat ears in 8th year and Draco finds out.

Granny Smiths by @chaoticcrumpets. T, 4k. The worst thing, Draco Malfoy thinks, about being the fallen scion of an ancient and noble house banished to the Muggle world for his various misdeeds, is undoubtedly the grocery shopping. At least it helps him to discover an unexpected talent.

Perfect by @kyonomiko. T, 4k. A very lonely 8th year through the eyes of Draco Malfoy. Everyone else seems to be getting along swimmingly.

Pumpkin Pie by @scullymurphy. E, 4.1k. “Are you comparing me to a pumpkin pie?” She lifted her head and looked at him. “Yes, It’s really very close—” He dove back down. “Let me just see...”

Study Habits by @indreamsink. E, 4.1k. The night before their last NEWT exam, Draco can't focus. Hermione devises an unorthodox method to help him study.

Flying Lessons by cryptaknight. T, 4.1k. Draco is surprised when Hermione turns to him for flying lessons, but then everything is a little bit different upon their return to Hogwarts after the war.

Interfering Mistletoe by @fabularum. E, 4.1k. Pansy Parkinson and her interfering mistletoe just might be the thing that finally brings Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy together.

About Last Night by @dreamsofdramione, @inadaze22 and @meriyart. E, 4.2k. “Do you remember last night at all?” “Yes.” No.

Mulled Wine and Kisses by @willhavetheirtrinkets. E, 4.3k. She'd only thought before to give him a moment of distraction, but now her thoughts were leading an entirely different direction.

What We Didn't Do by charlipetidei. M, 4.3k. Who? Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy. Where? The Room of Requirement. Why? Seven Minutes in Heaven, of course. What? Well… who’s to say?

The Hogwarts Express by sam_fic. NR, 4.3k. “Draco Malfoy.” The way she said his name was almost reverent, but they both knew better. “I can leave,” he suggested, without actually meaning it.

Bits of Rock and Dust by @purplesugarquills. T, 4.4k. Draco Malfoy doesn’t even like Hermione Granger. Her winning him over had nothing to do with dinners by candlelight, gifts of priceless heirloom jewelry, or whispered affections. She just kept barreling into his office again and again. If he thought about it—which he had, often—there wasn’t ever a chance he’d fall for anyone else.

Baker's Dozen by @darkofthemoonfic. T, 4.4k. As part of the new and mandatory Muggle Studies curriculum, 8th year students are paired together for a year-long practicum in the culinary arts. If only Draco were interested in either.

Coming Down by raven_maiden, @nikitajobson. E, 4.4k. Of all the things Hermione thought she'd learn at Hogwarts her eighth year, Draco Malfoy is by far the most unexpected.

Out of Order by worksofstone. T, 4.4k. Hermione's stuck in a broken lift with a tipsy Draco Malfoy. What a way to spend the Friday before Christmas.

You Make It So Good I Don't Want to Leave by slytheringheights. E, 4.4k. It's late at night on the Tuesday before the big Potions exam and Draco can't find his textbook. When the Head Boy goes to the Head Girl's door to ask if she's seen his book, he hears the most intoxicating sounds from behind her door.

No Death To This by maeshowers. M, 4.4k. The quicksilver of his eyes are piercing my entire being—like he can see everything that’s inside and wants a piece of it anyways. Despite my flaws, despite it all. He can have every part of me for all I care. It was only ever going to be his to begin with.

Leave the Door Open by eveningstruggle. E, 4.5k. Hermione decides to let off some steam but forgets to lock the door.

Correspondence by @olivieblake. T, 4.6k. Every year, Draco insists that Hermione take a picture for their Christmas card. Why? Hell if she knows, but if it will make him happy, so be it.

The Bowtruckles and the Beasts by PurpleSugarQuills. E, 4.6k. Molly Weasley brandished a copy of The Bowtruckles and the Beasts in one hand and a ripe, yellow banana in the other. Hermione could only blink, moments away from receiving The Talk from her ex-boyfriend’s mother.

Damage Control by @smokybaltic. E, 4.6k. Draco Malfoy is behaving like a boorish, petulant shitweasel. Even for him. Hermione definitely won't be letting it slide.

you’re mine; i’m yours by @korabethart. E, 4.6k. “Malfoy hasn’t taken his eyes off you all night,” Harry says beside her, sipping his champagne flute with a knowing grin. Hermione bristles. “I know. I’ve felt his stare since the moment I walked in.” “Can you blame him?” Harry laughs, the sound light and soft. “He’s your husband, after all.”

Somebody To You by @leilahmoon. M, 4.6k. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are idiots. Luckily, their friends are not.

Kaleidoscope by @heyjude19-writing. M, 4.6k. Things Hermione tried to avoid at the mandatory holiday office party: irritating colleagues, an idiotic role-playing activity, and her true feelings for Draco Malfoy. Her success rate varied.

Arithmancy and Quidditch by @grace-lou-freebush. E, 4.7k. Hermione and Draco are partners on an Arithmancy project during their eighth year, but Draco fails to meet up at their agreed upon time. When Hermione finds him down at the Quidditch pitch, she just might change her mind about how upset she is.

Lie With Me by @mightbewriting. M, 4.8k. In which a single evening involves fake dating, only one bed, and the idea that sometimes things can be easy.

Strange Encounters by happy_valley. T, 4.8k. Of all the situations Hermione Granger had found herself in throughout the years, this was arguably the strangest.

Universal Laws by @misdemeanor1331. T, 4.8k. The initial report arrives mid-afternoon, prefaced by a note scrawled in Harry’s untidy hand. Hermione reads it twice before tucking it into Draco’s file. The Auror Office’s version of events is too sanitised to be helpful. It provides the broad strokes, but Hermione is a Healer. Diagnosis depends on details. If she has to wait for the primary source to regain consciousness, then so be it.

Standard of Care by misdemeanor1331. T, 4.9k. St. Mungo’s doesn’t play politics. They expect their Healers to deliver a high standard of care to every patient, regardless of past associations. But when Hermione discovers that Draco is her assigned Healer, she doubts that St. Mungo’s had ever considered a past association as fraught as theirs.

Heart in the Whole by @floorcoaster. G, 4.9k. Draco pulls Hermione's name for a Secret Santa exchange.

Must Be the Whisky by in_dreams. M, 4.9k. Hermione sees Draco twice a year, at her birthday and his. Until that isn't nearly enough.

Exposure by @biscuitsforpotter. E, 4.9k. Hermione has been attracted for her best friend for years. Draco Malfoy, now a famous photographer, is absolutely gorgeous and completely oblivious. Hermione wants to make him realize how she feels about him, but she'll have to step out of her comfort zone to get there.

Snowdrifts by in_dreams. T, 4.9k. The under-utilised Centaur Liaison Office isn't big enough for the two of them—especially not when a holiday decor feud leads to both Draco and Hermione trapped inside with a snowstorm.

Strange Birds by Heyjude19. M, 4.9k. She’s right here; solid and real and welcoming. Slipping through his undeserving fingers. Is he allowed a trauma timeline? He has no idea when it’s appropriate for him to reach suffering’s endpoint and move on.

I’m With You by @ohlenalena. T, 4.9k. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy start seeing one another behind their friends' backs and this obviously backfires.

A Cat, A Dog, & the Unimaginable by @annaritali. T, 4.9k. There are certain steps in a relationship.

Transparency by mightbewriting. T, 4.9k. In which Draco and Hermione slowly come together in their eighth year, as observed by a ghost.

Naughty or Nice by @morriganmercy. E, 4.9k. A potion reveals that Hermione isn't the only one who has made some changes during their first year away from Hogwarts. Draco Malfoy seems to have a very high opinion of himself, and she can't resist finding out why.

Sehnsucht by @ambpersand. E, 4.9k. Sehn·sucht /[ˈzeːnˌzʊxt]/ [noun] Tender, wistful, and/or melancholic desire; yearning, longing. Hermione is ready to go home for the holidays, but there's something missing.

Crash into Christmas by scullymurphy. M, 4.9k. ‘What the fuck are you doing?’ Hermione mouthed from behind Roger’s beefy shoulder. But Malfoy just smiled brilliantly and slid off his stool, clapping Roger on the back and gathering their coats. Hermione heard him say something about the airport and a cab ride.

Roger turned toward a small corridor, gesturing at them to follow. Malfoy went quickly, but Hermione hung back. What the bloody hell was he playing at? Did he really mean to crash somebody’s Christmas party?

Almost Nothing At All by mightbewriting. T, 4.9k. He’d tucked too much of himself inside that little gift. Long muffled secrets, wishfulness, and a final concession made before laying it all to rest. That present had been meant to bring him peace. He’d known it was selfish, and he’d hoped she wouldn’t think much of it, wouldn't go looking too closely. But if there’s one thing he’s learned about Hermione Granger in the last five years, it’s that she digs in. With teeth, if necessary. He should have known. [In which five years of Draco Malfoy keeping his distance doesn't work.]

The Snowflake Effect by dreamsofdramione. M, 4.9k. Hermione, Sentimentality has never been my strong suit, but consider this an act of Firewhisky-fuelled bravery. When I sat down to write this, I had no idea what would end up on this page. I’ve spent this evening thinking back on our history and I’m feeling rather wistful.

the butterfly effect : noun - (in chaos theory) the phenomenon whereby a minute localised change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere.

Lilac Haze by @niffizzle. M, 4.9k. Draco was staring. How could he not? She looked exquisite, just like she had at the Yule Ball fifteen years prior. Periwinkle instead of lilac, a twist instead of draping curls, a fourth year on the arm of an international Quidditch star instead of the Deputy Headmistress in charge of making sure the night ran smoothly. So much had changed since then, and yet here they were, in the same castle where the same witch had rendered him speechless for not just the second time. Not that it mattered. They were co-workers. Friends. And that was the full extent of where their relationship could go.

Christmastime is (Unfortunately) Here by inadaze22. E, 4.9k. A story of how mistletoe, mayhem, and maybes change Draco Malfoy's misanthropic Christmas plans.

Much of what I write is also under 5k; here are a few:

Hot and Bothered (T, 2k) “Why don’t you two just kiss, if you’re so invested in who's better? Prove it to each other. You’re the only ones who care.” In the moment, she honestly expected them to laugh it off. But in hindsight, Hermione realized she should have known what would happen.

Strangers (M, 3k) The sexy couples photoshoot that's meant to match them with strangers finds Hermione and Draco paired up with each other.

Ms. Whiskers Makes a Match (T, 3.1k) Hermione Granger doesn't plan to groom pets forever, but it's a good way to put herself through veterinary school. It's an added bonus that weekends are usually quiet enough to sneak in some reading. Until Draco Malfoy shows up with "his mother's" cat, and suddenly her Saturday is a little more interesting.

Let’s Workshop This (M, 3.3k) Hermione gets caught working on her "creative writing" project at the office, and Draco offers his assistance.

The Worst (E, 3.3k) The apple paused halfway to Draco’s mouth. “Stepping out on me with someone else? Quite rude of you to not take the man you love.” “One of us is in love with you,” said Hermione agreeably. “But it’s not me.”

She’s All Yours (E, 3.7k) There was, Ron thought—as he watched his wife in bed with Malfoy—nothing he wouldn’t do for Hermione.

If you missed Part One, take a peek.

Give the authors some love! I also adore hearing if you found a new favorite fic or author.

“I’m asking Theodore Nott to the Ball,” said Hermione, dumping her books on the desk. Ginny raised a brow.

“Do you even know who that is?”

“Oh, shush." Hermione took out an emerald green cover from the pile. “I found his sketchbook. The one that's always on his desk."

“Must be some wicked sketches if they've breached your Quidditch-player fever.” Ginny snatched it.

“I suffer from no such ailment,” she scoffed, but her smile gave her away. More seriously, she said, “I’m lonely, Gin.”

All jokes aside, Ginny felt it, too. “But what's so special about Theo Nott?” She didn’t get it. Hermione could have literally anybody.

“Look at the drawings.” Hermione grinned.

“You snooped?” Ginny tutted. “Naughty, Miss Granger.”

She flipped the cover, licking her fingertip to turn the thick pages with an exaggerated flair. “Shut up,” she cried a few pages in. “Shut up!”

“I know,” said Hermione. “There’s maybe a dozen of them in there.”

“And this doesn’t seem creepy to you?”

Hermione shrugged. “They’re harmless. Look, they’re all from a distance. See that one in the classroom? I think it’s from Transfiguration. My hair was braided like that one morning. They’re rather beautiful.”

Ginny sang out, “He liiikes you.”

She handed the sketchbook back, and Hermione began casting spells over it.

“What are you doing?”

“Locking it up.”

“Not only did you snoop, but you also broke his privacy charms?” Ginny’s grin widened.

"I'm Head Girl," she reasoned. "Simply monitoring."

Ginny kicked Hermione under the table, giving her the hurry-up-and-get-on-with-it eyes. Theo Nott had just entered the library with Malfoy, who seemed to have come from Quidditch practice.

Hermione finished casting her spells, then tousled her hair, pretending to study.

As the Slytherins passed by their table, Hermione called out innocently, “Theodore?”

Theo turned at the sound of his name, appearing confused, or maybe distrustful, when he realised it was Hermione. Odd for a bloke supposedly obsessed with her.

“I found your sketchbook,” she said, holding it up.

Malfoy stepped forward, hand outstretched. “That’s mine, actually.”

Highlight Day 3

Close Quarters by @sodamnradd

Pairing: Hermione Granger/Draco Malfoy

Rating: E

Wordcount: 4853

Prompts: Stargazing, Bookstores, Foreplay

Summary: “Malfoy,” she cautions, even as her skin lights up beneath the path of his fingers, gliding from the hem of her sock, beneath her dress, and north up the curve of her arse. “It’s still business hours.” “I locked the door two minutes ago,” he says in a husky voice. “It’s five past eight.”
