    Summary

    A loose Dramione retelling of the plot of When He Was Wicked (Bridgerton Book 6...but not regency era).

    After the war, Draco Malfoy pays his debt in Azkaban while his closest friend, Theodore Nott, finds love and forgiveness in the heart of Hermione Granger. Draco returns to a very different world than he left behind, and he must come to terms with his place in his friends' lives as well as the world at large.

    At first he isn't sure what Theo sees in the Muggleborn swot from their childhood, but eventually he comes to understand all too well. Conflicted and full of self-loathing he flees rather than see them marry.

    Years later, tragedy brings him back to England—and back to her.

    Widowed and untethered, Hermione is not looking for love. Draco is not foolish enough to offer it. Loving her once felt impossible; loving her now feels like betrayal.

    But grief does not erase history. And second chances rarely come without cost.

    Summary

    5 years ago, Draco Malfoy was forced to choose who lives and who dies: his wife or his son.

    Since the death of Astoria, Draco has kept his head down, and his son safe. Continuing his work as an Auror, he's tried to find the killer known as the 'Reaper'. Things have been quiet until a familiar Curse-Breaker has a breakthrough in countering the Unforgivables. A breakthrough so brilliant, that it awakens a demon from his past.

    When Hermione Granger discovers how to counter the Cruciatus Curse, she garners the attention of the Reaper. Forced to put her research on hold while Auror Malfoy is assigned to protect her, Hermione struggles with the lack of workload. Her recent engagement to Ronald Weasley was broken due to her struggle to have children. With the possibility of being barren looming over her, Hermione is struggling with self-worth, grief, and life.

    That is, until she's asked to watch Scorpius Malfoy whilst Draco tries to solve cases that are steadily leading him closer and closer to the Reaper's whereabouts. It's then that she realizes that not all families are made; they're found. Only... getting close to Scorpius and his hot father could get her killed.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger has always been a curious girl, always wanting to know more about the world she was thrown into at eleven years old. With the trauma of the Second Wizarding War fresh in her mind, she develops a curiosity for something no one expected, the Sacred Twenty-Eight Families and their Pure-blood traditions.

    Draco Malfoy doesn’t want to be forgiven, he wants to understand why he was raised with prejudiced beliefs. He needs to understand why his upbringing would have him despise the one person he could never learn to hate. Most importantly, he wants to understand her.

    They need each other to heal and it’s journey that could rip them apart or bring them together in ways they never expected.

    ***

    “I’m curious about you, and you appear to be curious about me. So, let’s be curious together.”
    “Malfoy…”
    “Granger, it would be so educational.”

    Summary

    Hermione did the best she could once the war ended. She returned to school, became a successful healer and researcher, got married, and hasn't raised her wand in a defensive way in years. But the nightmares still come. Her marriage to Ron is floundering, and each day, she loses a little more of herself to a life she never quite imagined.
    In order to get her marriage on the right track and prove that she's desirable, she accompanies Theo to the club he's part owner of. Once inside, she discovers more than just a kink or two that's been repressed within her. She discovers that perhaps she's not the bookish prude she's always thought she was. And maybe reclaiming herself and her happiness will be the best way to finally heal her traumatized past.

    “Tell me the last time Weasley made you come so hard you thought about it for weeks.”
    I couldn’t.
    “Tell me about an experience that left you fully sated.”
    I couldn’t.
    “Come to Nox, Hermione. You’ve fucking earned it.”
    I couldn’t.
    There are multiple triggering occurrences that one may find upsetting or unsettling based on your reading preferences. Please read all tags before continuing! Protect yourself. xoxo
