Summary
**This entirely Dramione HEA work is book canon compliant, from the start of The Philosopher's Stone through the end of the Epilogue 19 years later in The Deathly Hallows**
The 7 years at Hogwarts were difficult for Harry Potter, but he wasn't the only wizard to experience trials and tribulations in those hallowed halls. Draco Malfoy, pureblood heir to 2 Noble & Ancient Houses in the Sacred 28, finds himself in a secret acquaintanceship/ rivalry/ friendship/relationship with Hermione Granger, a muggle born Gryffindor witch who is also best friends with his rival, and an all around swot.
Following the perspective of Draco beginning in first year, we see all the things that Harry missed over the years, namely that his best friend was secretly in love with his rival the entire time.
You know WHAT happened-- but do you know HOW it happened? And for years, you've *thought* you understood how it ended. But how did it REALLY end?

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?
Find out all this and more in: A HARD ROW TO HOE!

Summary
I settle on the floor next to Drake, head on his shoulder.
“I can practically hear you thinking, love,” he murmurs the words into my hair.
“She would be safer without me,” I hate that my voice cracks at the admission.
He sighs, “I am not sure she will be safe regardless Theo, you know her, she won’t stand for the injustices of the Dark Lord’s regime. If we all survive this, it will be a miracle. Don’t be one more person in her life that promised to love her but didn’t do the job properly.”
OR
Theo, Hermione and Draco have found each other at last but can their relationship survive a war?
