    Summary

    She wanders across him one night, not realizing that their chance encounter in a Hogwarts corridor will save both of their lives. A post-war Dramione fic about healing, friendship, second chances, and love. [Now complete!]

    oOo

    He just stared at her. It was all he could do. She made him breathless and awake all at once. His heart was beating so hard against his chest, he was sure it would slip through the bone and escape from his ribcage. Draco didn’t think that would be such a problem because he knew exactly where it would go.
    It would run back to her.

    Summary

    All the myriad things he’d been—someone who made her laugh; the warmth on the other side of the bed; her best friend—those things, Rey had buried.


    Rey left Ben two years, three months, and sixteen days ago. But who's counting?

    Summary

    “Gentlemen,” Severus said coldly, “you’ve let yourself become bested by a woman. At last year's exams, each and every one of you lost to a mere girl. This, gentlemen, is below the bar.”

    The seventh year boys looked stunned, some of them reddening with mortification, while whispers and snickers raced through the room. All eyes landed on the girl in question, the only witch of age in the school. Some looked at her with alarmingly appraising eyes - and Severus vowed that he’d keep an eye on her conduct - while others looked at her with seething envy and anger.

    Victorian England wasn’t merciful to the poor, and the Wizarding world even less so. Facing a bleak future as a governess, Hermione knew that her only other suitable option after Hogwarts was to marry, obeying a husband for the rest of her life.

    Either way, as a Muggleborn orphan her chances were slim, because she was worth no more than chattel in the eyes of society. Whatever happened, she was obliged to be grateful.

    Summary

    “Do I know you?” he sneers coldly, and Rey gapes up at him, reeling.

    She thinks briefly on the Hoh parking lot and how he’d nearly run her over, on the Hall of Mosses and how he’d stormed down the trail, and on how apparently none of that was enough to make a lasting impression. She snaps her mouth shut.

    “No,” she replies, equally cold. “You don’t.”


    Rey’s camping in the Pacific Northwest. Funnily enough, so is Ben. They don't exactly hit it off.
