Summary
When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a mandatory Eighth Year, she is grateful for the pause — a chance to recover from the war and the nightmares that still plague her. Determined to find happiness and enjoy her final year, Hermione expects healing to be quiet. But of course it isn’t. This is Hogwarts. A small group of Slytherins approach her in confidence, asking her to help Draco Malfoy before it’s too late. Hermione is forced to make a choice — one that pulls her back into old tensions, dangerous secrets, and the unsettling realization that some of the most brutal battles are fought inside one’s mind.

Summary
Reddit's 2023 Top Dramione Fics: Seventh place for Enemies to Lovers
"Choices are the hinges of destiny." - Edwin Markham
Hermione didn't choose to be a witch and Draco didn't choose to be given a suicide mission. But in a world where they lacked agency, what if they chose one another?
A sliding-doors like reimagining of 6th year through the end of the war.
----
"You left her!" Draco roared, following Weasley to where he fell. "She begged you to stay, and you left her!"
"You don’t know what it was like,” Weasley said, almost too soft to hear.
A crazed, humorless laugh tore from Draco's lips. "I don't care what it was like. You were supposed to stay with her!"
"I just kept having these dark and terrible thoughts…."
"I'm not your fucking mind-healer, Weasley," Draco growled, marching towards him again. "She begged you, you fucking coward."
“I know,” Weasley finally said.
“You don’t deserve her,” Draco hissed and leveled his wand. "Obliviate".

Summary
“If you leave now you'll no longer be a Malfoy,” his father shouted, drawing his wand and pointing it at Draco's chest.
“Good,” Draco shouted back, his left hand forming a fist around a slip of paper bearing his Aunt's address.
His mother grabbed at her husband's arm, tears flowing down her cheeks. Draco took one last long look at her, then closed his eyes and twisted on the spot. He disapparated with a crack.
A disinherited Draco Black (formerly Malfoy) returns to Hogwarts for an optional eighth year having transferred to Ravenclaw. He's completely unaware that a certain bushy-haired, muggleborn witch has also been granted a fresh start in his new house.

Summary
Ron’s face twisted.
“But don’t expect me to stand here and watch you act like a—”He hesitated, just for a heartbeat, as if even he knew the next word was unrecoverable.
Yet he still said it.
“SLUT!”
The word slammed into her so hard Hermione felt the world tilt. Her ears rang, her vision narrowed until all she could see was Ron—
He didn’t look ashamed, or confused, or even surprised at himself.
He looked…satisfied.
Like he was the one who’d been wronged, like he’d finally said the one thing he’d been holding in, the one thing he wanted to hurt her with.
Hermione’s stomach twisted viciously. She took a step back, air clawing at her throat, her fingers trembling around the strap of her bag. Her lips parted, but nothing—nothing—came out.
Ginny’s scream tore through the silence. “RONALD WEASLEY—HAVE YOU LOST— ”
Harry was right behind her, horrified. “Ron, what the hell did you just—”
Too late.
A voice cut in, sharp as a blade sliding free of its sheath.
“Weasley.”
