Wanting to Know Me; Wanting to Know You by MarinaJune

Summary
“So what do you say, Granger? You willing to hear me out and let me do the same for you?”
Malfoy’s persistent question pulled her out of her fantasies, and if she didn’t know any better, she could have sworn a hint of his old smirk played at the corner of his lips as if he knew exactly what she’d be envisioning. Obviously, that was just her imagination.
She was Hermione Granger, godammit. Head Girl. Gryffindor. Survivor.
She thrust out her hand and he stared at it blankly.
“It’s a handshake, Malfoy. I’m agreeing to try this thing out.”

Summary
He tossed down Floo powder and shoved his head into the flames before she could finish her sentence. Mere moments later, he backed up to sit more appropriately on one side of the couch. He summoned a box of biscuits from the kitchen and started munching happily. She hoped he choked on them.
“Theo, who did you—”
Once again, Hermione found herself interrupted by the figure that stepped out of the fire and into their common room.
“Malfoy?”
He spun around mid-swipe, dust still clinging to his uniform.
“Granger?”
As if on cue, they both turned suspicious gazes towards the couch.
“Theo?” Their joint accusation sent the Head Boy into a fit of laughter.

“Professor, if I may have a moment of your time?”
Hermione swept past his Potions students where they leaned over cauldrons and diligently chopped ingredients in the no-nonsense manner she’d perfected from a young age. Like him, she wore her teaching robes, having recently finished with her Ancient Runes class of 6th years.
Draco raised a curious eyebrow at her request but said nothing. He merely stood with a very Severus-like sweep of cloth to follow her into his office. The students paid them no attention, having become accustomed to the two professors taking private meetings during class.

Summary
“Granger, take a look at this!” The excited tone of Malfoy’s voice had her rushing over to stand by his side in seconds.
The potion glowed a gentle shade of lavender purple, the vapors surrounding them in a sweet aroma.
“I think this is the best color we’ve seen yet at this stage. I have a really good feeling about this one, Draco!”
The instant his name left her lips, she wanted to take it back. The grin that had filled his face had transformed to a look of shock she was afraid to analyze too closely.
Despite their truce and these several weeks, pleasant as she might dare to describe them, she had never once referred to him by his given name.
Except in her dreams.

Summary
“I can’t just ignore you in here, Malfoy,” Hermione insisted. She had duties, rules to uphold. She was simply following through on the trust the teachers had placed in her. She was absolutely not interested in studying the suds running down his chest, or the slashes from Harry’s sectumsempra.
“Why don’t you join me, then? I’m still covered in soap.”
He chuckled at her gasp, and she tried not to miss his warmth as he stepped back towards the water. Keeping an eye on her, he tossed aside his towel–no, she did not look down–and descended slowly like some kind of water nymph hoping to lure Hermione to her death. He then turned his back to her and waited.
There was no way she could join him.
It wasn’t proper.

Convincing Granger (No Books Required) by MarinaJune
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling

Summary
After a mischievous grin and peck on her cheek, Draco slid from his chair and under the table. Hermione cleared her throat in an attempt to maintain composure, all while feeling like she was about to scream with anticipation.
Her palms slapped loudly onto the wooden surface when she felt both of Malfoy’s hands slide up her calves and push her knees apart.
“You’re going to have to be quieter than that, Granger.” His voice was muffled but still clearly audible.

Summary
“It’s an old spell that’s been in my family for generations. I say the incantation, take your sacrifice, and then we see what we see.”
Bells rang in her head.
“What kind of sacrifice?”
Luna’s serene smile was at complete odds with the next words out of her mouth. “An offering of blood.”
“Luna Lovegood! Is this blood magic?” Hermione hissed, infuriated that her friend would even consider dragging her into this. Blood magic was strictly forbidden at Hogwarts.

Summary
“I’ve been single for a long time now, and even though I haven’t been lonely, I admit to a certain degree of…curiosity.” The smile on her face widened as he licked his lips in an uncharacteristically open tell.
“I make you curious?”
“Mhm.” She hummed in a cavalier manner that completely belied her entire proposal. Hermione knew what she was doing was tantamount to blackmail. She was banking on Malfoy giving in to the tension that hung over them almost every time they shared a room. The man was so tightly wound that she felt this the fastest way to force his hand.

“Do you still love me?”
He sucked in a deep breath. He’d been holding it in anticipation of her question, and now he felt like the hourglass had turned and the sands were rushing him along towards a yet unknown end.
“Of course I do.”
Hermione nodded as if she’d expected that answer, but the loosening of tension in her jaw revealed her relief. She turned back to Theo. “I need you to be our bonder. Place your wand against our hands.”

Summary
Regality adorned her wingspan and gradient of dark brown, amber, and cream feathers. Even from across the Great Hall, Hermione smiled at the sight of the owl’s distinct ear tufts swiveling as Draco Malfoy cooed and plied her with treats. When the day came where Hermione could finally reach out and touch her for the first time, tawny eyes held her in a steadfast stare that warned her against sudden movements. Draco assured her of her gentility, but Hermione knew better. She was like Crookshanks. She read people. You either passed, or you didn’t.

“Cut. The damn. Hair.”
She pressed a palm against his shoulder. “I will if you keep it down to here.”
“This isn’t a negotiation. Not after what you just did.”

Somewhere along the way, her calendar had lost its function as a means to plan ahead. Draco was delightfully unpredictable, and she found herself retroactively marking the dates and events she never wanted to forget.
There was one date he allowed her the chance to set.

Summary
The start of this new year marked Hermione’s first as the British Minister of Magic. The role was 20 years in the making, after one marriage and one divorce, strategic promotions up the government ladder, and several landmark cases won in the Wizengamot. As the youngest Minister in history, a woman, and a muggle-born, Hermione was a household name.
She had never felt lonelier.

Summary
Harry’s mouth hung open, one foot still in the bathroom behind him, as he watched his best friend barrel down the hall. He would’ve been tempted to consider Ron’s scream some kind of Samhain prank to help set the mood for the party currently raging on downstairs, but there was nothing fake about the way his freckles stood out even more than usual in his pale skin or the visible white of his wide eyes. Harry couldn’t recall seeing this kind of naked fear on him since their school days.
Ron’s escape was partially impeded by his own costume of what appeared to be a blast-ended skrewt, if the sparks coming out his butt were any indication. If he’d worn a mask at some point, it was long gone, now replaced with the perfect picture of a Ron Weasley completely terrified out of his mind.
So, Harry did what Harry did best—he charged towards the threat.

Summary
Someone once said, “Time heals all wounds.”
Draco wanted to find this unknown, probably a muggle who’d died long ago, and kill them again for good measure.
Well, maybe not kill. Hermione wouldn’t like that and it would look bad, a former Death Eater murdering some idiot muggle, no matter how justified the reasons.

“I suspect she’ll wake up soon, my star. The food will keep until then.” Humor laced his words. Hermione could just imagine Scorpius’ lip jutting out in response.
“But—”
“But,” Draco emphasized, “We could try a spell to help her wake.”

Summary
She was here again.
Draco Lucius Malfoy, First and Only Prince to the kingdom, stayed hidden in the stacks next to a row of tomes dictating the genealogies of the royal families dating back hundreds of years. He had his private tutor to thank for the tiresome task of locating the volume listing the exact ancestor Draco had failed to name correctly in his latest exam. The other day, he’d been here searching for a text that would answer which crops their kingdom specialized in for exports. Ridiculous, really. As if he wouldn’t some day have advisors to do all this research for him.
Then, just like today, he’d seen a girl wandering through the shelves. She hadn’t noticed him, of course. Draco was far too sneaky to be detected by some muggle, which she had to be given her unaware musings as she walked around with her nose buried in a book.
