    Summary

    The quickest way to burn a narrative is to set it on fire yourself.

    After a very public betrayal, Hermione Granger finds herself recast as cold, frigid, and conveniently unlovable.

    She refuses the part.

    Draco Malfoy is many things, but subtle is not one of them. When he chooses to stand beside her, the whispers turn into spectacle, and spectacle becomes strategy.

    They’ll own the narrative.
    They’ll play the game.
    They will not blink.

    It’s strictly mutual.
    Strictly controlled.
    Strictly temporary.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger never went to Hogwarts. She gave up a life of magic to stay by her ailing father's side.

    Draco Malfoy never knew his father. Lucius Malfoy was sentenced to Azkaban as a Death Eater and punished accordingly after the Order defeated the Dark Lord (for the first and last time).

    Years later, their paths cross at King's Cross Station. Hermione is a ticket attendant, working several jobs to make ends meet, and Draco is a Hogwarts professor, commuting weekly on the Hogwarts Express. And then there's Theodore Nott: Draco's best friend, and the man Hermione has fallen hopelessly in love with at first sight (much to Draco's dismay).

    ---------------

    Working at King's Cross station has its perks:
    - It gives Hermione plenty of time to read
    - She gets to see her "Handsome Stranger" (the charming man she's certain she's fallen for)

    Working at King's Cross station has its drawbacks, too:
    - Namely, "Jack Frost" (her "Handsome Stranger's" incredibly rude friend, whose frigid glare could turn someone's heart to ice with one glance)

    A Dramione retelling of: While You Were Sleeping.
