Summary
In a world without Tom Riddle or Death Eaters, the wizarding class divide and prejudice still thrive. With no troll in the dungeon to solidify their friendship, Hermione Granger never forms a bond with Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. Resented and ostracised at Hogwarts for her unapologetic intellect and self-righteous superiority, Hermione spends most of her school years isolated and alone. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy moves through the school with passiveness despite his popularity, secretly burdened by the weight of his family name and a deep discontent he cannot name. When detention entangles them together, they become drawn into the same orbit and the certainty of their separate lives begins to fray. Constantly losing and finding each other in an ambiguous path, they both navigate a gravity they cannot resist.
If you’re looking for fluffy romance, this isn’t for you. This is a nuanced exploration of two flawed characters finding their way through a complicated connection. It’s a macroscopic observation of unresolved conflicts, shifting dynamics, and the grey areas of human relationships. At times, it will hurt. And it will frustrate. But above all, it will lay bare the messy, unvarnished truth of the human experience.

Summary
A Dramione Miniseries: Draco added another finger and Hermione bit back a loud moan. "But do you deserve it?" He mused. "You show up here, after months of denying me what is mine. Maybe I should just let you finish blowing me and then shove you out the door again. Only good girls deserve to come. Are you a good girl, Granger?"

Summary
Reasons why being in love with Draco Malfoy is wholly unacceptable:
1. He is insufferable
2. He is married
3. He is her academic rival
4. Now, unhappily, he is also her colleague, and they are meant to be collaborating
5. Professional boundaries ought to be observed with colleagues
5b. Especially when her application for tenure is fully dependent on forging a successful academic collaboration with said colleague
6. It is not compatible with her five-year plan (see items 1-5 for specifics)Hermione has a deeply compelling list of reasons not to be in love with Draco Malfoy. To her dismay, when her department chair at St. Mungo's Medical School forces her into close proximity with Malfoy for the sake of undertaking an alchemy collaboration, she begins to develop romantic feelings she never meant to have.
Desperate to remedy this lamentable affliction, she invents a potion that can reverse the state of being in love. The only trouble is, she can’t seem to bring herself to take it.
Or: In which Hermione tries to force quit being in love.
