Summary
In a world where the rise of Voldemort never occurred, Wizarding society has found new ways to repress and exclude those they consider outsiders. Hermione Granger attends Hogwarts as one of the few Muggle-born students. Despite her efforts to make a place for herself, her future seems set in stone until Sixth Year, when the Triwizard Tournament is announced and everything begins to change.
“Bloody hell,” Ron says from beside her. “I think that blond tosser in the front is a Malfoy.”
She tears her eyes away to stare at Ron. “A who?”
He laughs and points at the blond boy. “Malfoy. I dunno his first name, but he’s definitely got to be a Malfoy. Old pureblood family from here in Britain. Bastards, the lot of them. Always Slytherins here at Hogwarts. Heard his dad sent him to Durmstrang because he didn’t want his son near any Muggle-borns.”

wip --- need to finish (ended on ch35). political fic that explores the concept of black magic, which is unique to muggle-borns. leaves off on hermione having just talked with dumbledore, where he warned her of her current path. draco then sends her a note and when he meets her in the ror he says they're fucked.

Bookmarker's Notes
hermione and draco start making the wolfsbane potion together, which has subtle consequences on how the canon plays out. he eventually goes with them on the horcrux hunt, which is much more efficient because of those changes

Summary
Draco Malfoy has a mission to complete, and no one can help him. Spending nights stuck on Prefect duty with Hermione Granger only adds to his problems. Doesn't it? Or is it possible that their unlikely relationship could alter the course of the Second Wizarding War -- if the Boy Who Made All the Wrong Choices can get this one thing right?
Come for the medium-burn Dramione, stay for Magical lore and new twists on the canon we love (and love to change)
COMPLETE!

fic that starts in 6th year, when Draco and Hermione are put on prefect patrols together. they become friends (and eventually more) over the course of the year, and draco partially confides in hermione. however, their relationship falls apart the night of dumbledore's death, as he didn't warn her in advance, but they find each other again in the forest of dean. lovely and long!

SO GOOD. MORE PLOT FOCUSED THAN LOVE FOCUSED. BASICALLT DRACO IS THE CATALYST FOR EVERYTHING, HE HELPS THEM ON THE HUNT. skull emoji. read it a second time through. just as good the second time.

Summary
Hermione Granger had been asked—and agreed—to do many absurd things since learning she was a witch, usually involving Harry Potter. This long list included, in no particular order, smuggling baby dragons, being placed unconscious at the bottom of a lake surrounded by merpeople, and traveling back in time to fly an escaped convict to safety on the back of a mythical creature. But returning to a Death Eater-controlled Hogwarts pretending to be Daphne Greengrass may have been the most ridiculous yet.

Bookmarker's Notes
Hermione goes undercover as Daphne at Hogwarts, where a very confused Draco starts to fall for her while not even being attracted to his childhood friend. When the Death Eaters storm Hogwarts looking for hostages, her identity is revealed and he joins the war effort against Voldemort. Slow burn, fleshed out friendships with the Slytherins, and a realistic approach to the Horcruxes. Love!
