    Summary

    Hermione did not believe in things like auras, she’d quit Divination after all, but a chill emanated from the space. It warned of a haunted, twisted place. The abandoned house at the end of the lane you don’t dare approach on Hallowe’en. The cellar door you don’t dare open when you’re home alone. The wooded path you don’t dare cut through at night even if it would be the quickest way home.

    Only darkness awaited her there. In the last aisle of Malfoy Manor’s library.

    Summary

    “I hate the Floo,” he says. It just comes out of him, like the time he’d jinxed himself to vomit slugs. “It gives me migraines for days afterward. S’why I asked Nott for a Portkey.”

    Pansy laughs ruefully, pulling her fisherman’s beanie on a little tighter. Her feet stay planted where they are. “I have my reasons, too,” she says.

    He holds out his hand in a flourish, motioning for her to list them.

    “It’s none of your—” She stops. “Look,” she says, her gaze at her feet before she meets his. “I’m not just being a cunt. Traveling with me is…complicated.”

    Summary

    It happens like this:

    Hermione is hunched over her desk like some kind of Tolkien goblin, essentially deep-throating three Sambal fish tacos from Del Seoul in a desperate bid to finish a late lunch before her next appointment (she’d rather choke to death than be late) when a light knock on the open door makes her head snap up.

    “Dr. Granger?”

    Holy shit.

    Holy shit.

    Her previous nonchalance about choking to death vanishes when she sees who’s standing in her door and a piece of fish hunkers down for a long winter in her esophagus.

    “Are you--shall I perform the Heimlich?” He asks, face familiar and concerned as he moves a step closer. “I don't think your face should be that shade of purp--”

    She cuts him off by vomiting into the trash can.

    Airway finally clear, she gulps a few greedy breaths. Her lungs expand and her face burns, and Hermione genuinely wonders if she’s hallucinating. She’s not prone to fantastical thinking even though she’s well acquainted with the fantastic, but...why else would Draco Malfoy be standing in front of her?

    Malfoy, on crutches.

    Malfoy, handing her a tissue?

    Malfoy, but...not.

    It’s complicated.

    Summary

    Frustrated with the male propensity to 'shag and run,' the girls engage in a contest to see who can go the farthest by Valentine's Day without going all the way. But perhaps they should have chosen their partners more carefully…

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy was in exile, though they called it protection. It was the summer after sixth year and he'd taken Dumbledore's offer, defected to the other side and been sent away to a small town in Italy for his troubles.
    No magic, few rules, and not a lot to do -- until Hermione Granger arrived.

    What do you do when you're thrown into exile with the last person you wanted? You live like there's no tomorrow...
