Summary
In the aftermath of the war that ravaged Hogwarts and its students, Hermione Granger returns for an eighth year, carrying both physical and emotional scars. The castle is altered—scarred walls, absent friends, and an ever-present ache of loss. Partnered for advanced Arithmancy with Draco Malfoy, another survivor struggling under the weight of guilt and isolation, Hermione is pushed into an uneasy alliance that gradually unfolds beyond old hostilities. Their slow, stuttering partnership draws Hermione into the periphery of Slytherin, where she finds wary acceptance among Theo, Pansy, and Blaise—Slytherins with their own postwar wounds.
The broader Hogwarts is unkind. Hermione’s choice of friends stirs suspicion and ostracism from Gryffindor; her former allies, Harry and Ron, grow distant and angry, unable to accept loyalty that transcends house boundaries. Meanwhile, an ancient, sealed-off wing of the castle becomes a focal point for mystery and tension—a hidden door pulsing with forbidden magic that only Hermione and Draco, through their accidental bond, can begin to understand. As the secret of the east wing unravels, the group faces magical threats that force them to trust and fight for one another.Bookmarked by purzelbaumchen

Summary
Draco has successfully hidden his odd feelings for Harry Potter until the Yule Ball makes them suddenly burst out. Harry notices there's something new about the Slytherin, but he can't quite figure out what.
A story that begins in Hogwarts's fourth year and ends around the middle of the eighth. There's a lot of angst and probably even more fluff.

Summary
Draco has worked hard to gain a reputation as an unbiased reporter for the Prophet.
He never imagined this would lead to Harry Potter offering him a job, or how much accepting said job would change his life.
*
*
"I've had an idea," Harry said, "You were there that night, at Greengrass Moor, when I …" he trailed off looking embarrassed."When you told everyone they ought to be fucking grateful and leave you the hell alone? Yes, it's one of my fondest memories." Draco wasn't trying to annoy, it was true, and the image of Potter swearing at Draco's idiot, fame-whore of a boss was something that never failed to make him smile.
Harry flushed, "I didn't mean it, not in the way it came out, and certainly I didn't mean to shout it at the editor of the Prophet."
