    Summary

    “Nothing has changed with you,” Hermione spat harshly. “You’re still so worried about how others perceive you. Merlin forbid someone has an opinion about you that doesn’t match the image you’ve created so carefully of yourself.”

    Draco's expression hardened, his eyes growing cold and unforgiving. “Why don’t you go back over to the table and nurse another gin and sulk until Potter lets you give your little ‘woe is me’ speech that you’re so bloody fond of.”

    ----

    Or: A ten-year reunion forces Hermione and Draco to confront a decade of things that they've avoided, so they elect to have it out...vertically and horizontally.

    Summary

    “Open it—“

    “What do you think I’m doing?” She hisses, the door rattling as she tries the knob. He stands carefully to avoid banging his head on any of the shelves.

    “Let me try.”

    Draco backs up as far as the stupid closet will let him, propelling himself forward as he makes himself a battering ram. The door simply rattles on his hinges, not a single budge.

    “Fuck.”

    “Precisely.” She echoes.

    _

    Trying to quickly finish their potions project before dinner, Draco winds up stuck in a closet with his reluctant potions partner.

    Not an ideal situation, but nothing they couldn't wait out. That is until Draco accidently breaks a potion that sends Hermione spiraling in ways he never imagined. Surely someone will come looking for them soon, right?
