Summary
When Hermione Granger returns for a Ministry-mandated Eighth Year, she expects a quiet one. A year where she can finally focus on academics, maybe even figure out what the hell she wants to do after graduation. Instead, she finds herself inexplicably drawn to Draco Malfoy.
She can’t get him out of her head. Can’t seem to stop wondering why he saved her that night at his Manor, why he wrote that damned apology letter, and why he always seems to be there whenever she needs help. Something about him has changed, and she’s determined to uncover whatever secret he’s hiding.
But her curiosity is quickly becoming something far more consuming. And the closer she gets to figuring him out, the deeper she falls into his world—a world that’s as dangerous as it is impossible to resist.
— OR —
An Eighth Year Hogwarts AU in which Draco’s a vampire, Hermione’s just a little obsessed, and I get to re-live my pre-teen Twilight dreams with everyone’s two favourite idiots.

Summary
They were each other’s secret for two years, hidden away in stolen moments and whispered promises. But when the war ended, choices were made, letters were lost, and hearts were broken. A decade later, fate brings Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy to Hogsmeade: two shopkeepers, two parents, two souls still haunted by what might have been.
As snow falls and Christmas draws near, old wounds resurface, and long-buried love flickers back to life. In a village lit by candlelight and carols, they must decide if love, once lost, can truly be found again.
Sometimes, second changes arrive softly, like snowfall: unexpectedly, undeniably, and impossible to ignore.

Summary
Five years after the war, Hermione Granger is climbing the Ministry ranks—and rapidly losing faith in the institution she once believed in. Her newest project, a Muggleborn Integration Initiative, is drowning in political resistance… until two unexpected allies step forward: Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.
Working with the Malfoys was never part of Hermione’s life plan, but Lucius’s sharp political instincts and Narcissa’s quiet guidance through pure-blood society become invaluable. And somehow, somewhere along the way, they start to feel less like former enemies and more like… family.
Then Draco returns from his self-imposed exile in France—older, steadier, and carrying the unresolved tension of the understanding he and Hermione formed during their final months at Hogwarts. Assigned to her project, he forces Hermione to confront the past he walked away from. Their partnership is supposed to be professional. It doesn’t stay that way.
With rising political stakes, shifting allegiances, and the Malfoys blatantly playing matchmaker, Hermione realizes that unexpected allies can become unexpected everything.
And that slow burns can turn into wildfires.

Summary
Hermione Granger has been watching Draco Malfoy since fifth year— the scratches he couldn’t hide, the way his eyes flashed silver when he was angry, the way he always knew exactly where she was.
By seventh year, it isn’t hatred she sees in his stare anymore. It’s hunger. Draco has a secret his mother’s bloodline never meant the world to know. A secret with fangs, instincts, and a mate-born pull he can’t outrun. And the moment Hermione confronts him, he stops trying to hide.
Because his wolf has already chosen her.
And the bond between them is getting stronger. Dangerously stronger. Strong enough to tear Draco apart—or bind them forever.
