Summary
Hermione gives him a fond smile. “I know you mean well, Draco, but Harry’s not capable of dealing with that kind of feeling right now.”
“Obsessiveness?” Draco asks, slightly embarrassed.
“Commitment. A partnership,” Hermione corrects. “Did you know Ron overheard one of the junior Aurors asking Harry on a date? Harry told him that he would literally rather eat his own broomstick than go on a date with him."
Draco finds himself oddly impressed. “Maybe he's ugly.”
“He’s not,” Hermione says, gravely. “Trust me.”
***
In which Draco accepts the love he thinks he deserves until he realizes he should trust other people to love him without his input on the matter.
Or; Draco somehow learns how to forgive himself through learning just how far he’s willing to go to forgive someone else.

Summary
Looking at Harry Potter, the Savior of the Wizarding World, curled in on himself on a classroom floor, Draco can't help but think of that scared sixteen-year-old version of himself. All he wanted was for someone to help, to save him from his own choices. And here he is, with Harry Potter pooled before him like blood on tile, needing the same.
Draco takes a hesitant step forward. He's on the edge of something, though he doesn't know what it is yet. But there's a choice before him, one he almost doesn't want to make.
Draco's been the potions master at Hogwarts for four years. At the beginning of his fifth year, everything looks like it'll be smooth sailing. That is, until the new Defense against the Dark Arts teacher arrives and throws all of Draco's well-considered plans out the window.

Summary
As post-war violence and tensions rise, it seems as if there’s no hope to unify the wizarding world. Except, maybe, a manufactured relationship between resident Saviour Harry Potter and known purveyor of the Dark Arts Draco Malfoy. (The fact that they detest each other is beside the point.)
But as Draco’s unrelenting mind games begin to wear him down, Harry has to remind himself that it’s all fake. The relationship is fake. The affection is fake. The pet names, the romance — even the engagement photos are fake.
But there’s something in Draco’s kiss that might just be real.

Summary
Draco Malfoy is a—self-described—reformed man, ten years after the war. He’d worked hard to muddle through his mistakes, learn from his past and reckon with his future. Now the only thing left on his list is to apologize to Hermione Granger, who has so far refused to hear a word of it. Luckily, his Ministry-mandated community service hours have finally brought him to her department, which makes this his best chance at reconciliation. And he's not going to blow it.
“Granger,” Draco looked up from the papers in his hands and was met with a stony look. “It’s clear you’d prefer I was not here.” He kept his tone even and conversational.
“We needed the help,” Hermione said as she side-stepped the implication.
“And I am here to help. I’ve requested to complete service hours in your department for—”
“Five years. I’m aware. I’ve denied it every time. This is not a department that I want your influence in. But we are desperate for help leading up to program season and you were my only option. That is why you’re here.”
Ouch. He felt the slice of her words, but drew in a breath through his nose with a singular nod to lighten their impact. "Then I will get to my paperwork.”
