An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Hermione Granger is dead.
Killed by the chandelier after it fell on her after being tortured and the rescue of Harry and Ron by Dobby at Malfoy Manor.
Or so the Order believes.
She is very much alive, and safe, in the closed off east wing of the manor after being saved by Narcissa and Draco, who have offered her protection in exchange for Draco training her in mind magic so they can finally end this horrible war.
Hermione is initially reluctant at first, because who the hell wants their childhood bully to have access to their mind? She gives in though after realizing that this is their best chance if they both work together and trust each other. Hermione soon learns Draco is extremely lonely. He's also surprisingly witty and can be kind to those he cares for. They quickly form a bond that transcends friendship, as their training sessions become more intimate.
This isn't one of my best summaries, because good gods there is so much going on in this story. We've got Draco using Hermione's wand, and not only does it accept him as its new master, but it also has a mind of its own. We've got Mother Malfoy rooting for the unlikely pair, an epic love story that Draco stumbles upon that reminds him too much of his and Hermione's love, supportive Harry and Ron, redeemed Snape, and a surprisingly not-too-much-of-an-asshole Lucius.
And of course, we have an extremely protective and possessive Draco. He tries to fight his feelings for Hermione, but soon realizes there is no point. Because what a Malfoy man wants, a Malfoy man always gets. He is a dragon, after all. And he has finally found his greatest and most precious treasure. And fire will reign down on any who dare to harm her.

Haven’t been on here for a while. Felt like I was scraping the bottom of the barrel after reading so much Dramione. But this. This is new to me and fabulous so far. Read it!!! Warning for a possessive Draco, but who doesn’t love a possessive bad boy…
I don’t know if this author is on tumblr and even less confident this will make it to them, but bravo Beforetherealbook. Bravo. I must have read hundreds of Dramiones. Thousands and thousands of words. It’s so gratifying to find something new that draws me in so well. 😍
A Curated List of Dramione Fics Featuring Psycho Simp Draco Malfoy
A Good Prisoner by greenflowerpot | E | 122,860 | Complete
During his brief stint as a prisoner of the Order, Draco Malfoy notices that Hermione doesn't look to be doing too well. He had always assumed that, given her brilliant mind and gentle nature, those on her side would ensure she is taken care of. Evidently not. Must he really do everything himself?
OR: Dark Draco decides he'd rather like to keep the pretty Healer for himself, since it seems no one else can take proper care of her.
Columba and Aquila by Beforetherealbook | E | 401,308 | Complete

At least that's what she thinks.
But with Draco Malfoy in charge, things are not always as they seem. As Draco starts to help her process the things that happened to her, he draws her ever closer until she can no longer stay away.
And Draco? He only cares about keeping his sweet girl with him, through any means necessary - and getting revenge on anybody who has hurt her.
Featuring an anxious Hermione Granger and a psycho-simp Draco who helps her heal with gentle touch and by pulling her into the morally grey along with him.
Truth or Dare by januarydevine | E | 185,716 | Complete
After many months of self-denial, Hermione receives an envelope of explicit photos of her and a one night stand she had four months earlier.
She could have ignored what seeing those photos made her feel, but the vile message attached that threatened to leak the photos to the press was the catalyst to accept the truth. Hermione has a stalker.
Her reputation had struggled in the last year, as well as some of her confidence.
When she seek's Harry’s advice, it is sad, but honest. The ministry is in turmoil as crime is on the rise and targeted muggleborn attacks are spreading. Harry suggests hiring a private investigation firm that he's worked with in the past and Hermione reluctantly agrees.
The P.I. handling her case is, none other than Draco Malfoy, the man in the photos from her one night stand.
As their path takes sharper and darker turns, Hermione and Draco have to risk their own secrets coming forth to keep each other and the rest of the ones they love safe.
everything i know (about love) by honeymilkplanet (orphan_account) | E | 291,137 | Complete
Hermione Granger knows everything.
Except this: when she accepts a bet to seduce her onetime enemy Draco Malfoy, hoping to enliven an otherwise uneventful eighth year at Hogwarts, she will tangle the web of Fate more intricately than either of them could ever imagine.
Draco Malfoy knows everything—about love.
Born with the rare gift of seeing the red threads that bind soulmates to each other, he’s known, since the day he met Hermione Granger, that she is his soulmate. More than this: he knows who her soulmate is—and it's not him.
But Draco has never been one to accept what he's given. And as he returns to Hogwarts after the war for his eighth year—disgraced and friendless, but more determined than ever—he's decided that destiny can go to hell.
Even if he can't have forever, he'll steal whatever time with Hermione he can...
Something Golden by justalazywriterr | E | 291,588 | Complete
"Hermione Granger is undoubtedly the most irritatingly opinionated, patronizing, overbearing, excruciatingly optimistic and self righteous human being I have ever met but there's something about her that draws you in, something golden." -D.M.
What is the plot of this fic? The plot is Draco Malfoy having a terrible fucking time and never being able to catch a break. It will begin fifth year and take you through his journey of being a death eater, the Battle of Hogwarts and post-war. It will loosely follow some canon events but timelines and dates may not be identical. The story itself is one big what if. What if Draco and Hermione started dating before he became a death eater? What if Draco had been present for certain events during the horcrux hunt? What if the war ended this way and these certain people were lost? The characters and story are in no way meant to be canon but instead, an exploration into other possible characterizations of them.
It's also wise to remember, this is entirely from Draco's point of view. Who is to say that he's a reliable narrator?
The Man Next Door by greenflowerpot | E | 17,524 | Complete
Hermione Granger is starting to develop a little crush on her new neighbor. His name is Draco, and he's kind and funny—not to mention easy on the eyes.
What's more, it seems like ever since he moved in things are just... working out for Hermione. Maybe Draco is some kind of lucky charm? That's silly. But with him nearby, it does feel like her life is easier and more pleasant than ever before.

Heart-Shaped Box by madameindemnity | E | 50,744 | Complete
What is love if not an all-consuming addiction?
After 11 years in Azkaban prison, Draco Malfoy unexpectedly finds himself a free man at last. What does he decide to do with this freedom? Develop a soul-crushing obsession with Hermione Granger-Weasley, of course.
Upon reentering the world, determined to lock himself away for the rest of his days, he is forced immediately into joining a long-standing ritual of Friday night drinks. He sees that the life he imagined for Hermione is not at all the one she is living, she seems to be miserable - exhausted, overworked, and trapped in a loveless marriage.
For Draco, this simply will not do. He will use any means necessary to have her for his own, including but not limited to: stalking, lying, shapeshifting, gaslighting, violence, and murder.

Hermione Granger wanted to lose control. And Draco Malfoy wanted to take it.
The Devil Cites Scripture by Nora_Wall | E | WIP
Ten years after the war, a demoted, disillusioned, and demoralized Unspeakable, Hermione Granger lives a half life. When she isn’t locked away in the bowels of the Department of Mysteries or working on questionably legal projects to make ends meet, she spends her time hiding from her estranged husband, Ron. Isolated from the people she used to call family and struggling to put herself together after escaping her volatile marriage, Hermione no longer recognizes the witch that she has become.
Draco didn’t mean to become so infatuated with Hermione. There was just something about her that called to him, a part of her magic had reached down and sunk its talons into the very fiber of his soul. If he were a better man, he would have left her alone instead of stalking her throughout the city of London. But that’s the thing about Draco. He’s not a good man, and he’s accustomed to getting what he wants. And what he wants is Hermione Granger to want him as much as he wants her.
Part One Chapters 1-26 [Complete] Part Two Chapters 27-?
Antinomian by thestarsoforion | E | WIP
He's always watched her. He can't help it. Merlin help him, he's been fucking trying though.
She hates him. He's a vile, bigoted arsehole. Of all the people who have made her feel small, who have made her have to fight and scrape and claw for her place in this world ever since she was eleven, he's the worst of them all.
But when things take a turn at the Yule Ball, Draco Malfoy decides he's done fighting himself, and Hermione Granger is left floored, struggling to understand this new, strange version of him.
Indemnity by writes_and_wrongs | E | WIP
Hermione Granger has lost it all. Her job. Her home. Her boyfriend. And most importantly, her coveted research. Desperate for stability, she does the only thing she can think of. Entering into a contract with a complete stranger is the most reckless thing she’s ever done. As her allies and enemies start to blur together, she finds everyone has secrets, and everyone wants them to stay buried.
Luna Vinculum (Rewrite) by MaryBMeunier | E | WIP
During the battle of Hogwarts, the night of a full moon, Draco Malfoy is bitten by a werewolf. With no way to escape the curse, all he can do is hide it. Hermione Granger is the only one- aside from his attacker- who knows the truth. And it’s only because she was with him when it happened.
When they return to Hogwarts for their 8th year, however, that is not the only secret they are forced to share. Because ever since he was bitten, Draco has grappled with an intense and disconcerting need to be around the Gryffindor Witch.
Neither of them like that, which leaves Draco constantly struggling to rein in all of the possessive and protective instincts that assault him when it comes to Hermione.
Will she aid him in hiding the curse? Will they uncover the truth about Draco’s obsession? In the meantime, will they fall deeply and irreversibly in love?
─── ⋆⋅ ☾⋅⋆ ───
The bond made her his. Love made him hers.
Shadow Within by Ivelynn | E | WIP
Hermione could see it in Malfoy's eyes—the absolute certainty that he would tear through every person here to get to her. The boy who'd once hesitated to kill Dumbledore was gone. In his place stood someone who'd crossed lines that couldn't be uncrossed.
He extended his hand, palm up. Both an invitation and a command. "Come home now. Willingly."
Home. As if the manor had ever been that. As if she belonged there. As if she belonged to him.
Instead Hermione placed her hand in his and let him guide her toward his army of Inferi.
**
Lord Protector. The title was a masterstroke of propaganda. Voldemort had done the unthinkable and reinvented himself. His Death Eaters were now 'Aurors,' their silver skulls replaced by Ministry insignia. They were the law.
Meanwhile, Auror Draco Malfoy fights a desperate battle against a Veela pledge that's slowly consuming his sanity.
How Long Before We Fall In Love? by 66gry99 | E | WIP
Draco was a troubled boy growing up. He was the ultimate menace to Wizarding society. It left his parents no choice but to send him to Durmstrang, hoping that the cold institution would shape him up. Unfortunately, he came back even worse than before.
After barely graduating from Durmstrang and returning to London, Lucius forces Draco to start from the bottom of the Malfoy family business. Upon his first day on the job, he meets the sweet and innocent Hermione Granger. She becomes his entire world and he'd stop at nothing to keep it that way, even if it means killing anyone that gets in his way.
Or a morally bankrupt Draco meets a sweet baby angel Hermione.
Soft and Delicate and Golden by magragora | E | WIP
Draco Malfoy was almost always in her dreams, but that did not surprise her. She had seen him no less than two dozen times since Voldemort’s death two years ago, far more than she had seen any other Death Eater. His silver eyes were unforgettable in their intensity and malice. His gaze was always heated toward her under that mask – Potter’s Mudblood, he used to say. In tonight’s dream he had yanked her backward by the sheer force of his grip in her hair. She would never stand a chance against a man so massive and powerful, and with her wand nowhere to be seen, she was already his.
Or, Hermione Granger learns what it means to be loved by Draco Malfoy during the Second Wizarding War.

There is the past, and there is what I know of it. I know so little: my contented life with Ron and my suffocating indignity. We are married, the days of Hogwarts are long behind us, and we live in the remote Scottish Highlands—it’s all rather idyllic. But what I don’t remember, only the Devil knows, and when reality begins to slip through my fingers with the substance of blood, the scent of smoke, and the allure of the grim and decrepit, he doesn’t give me a choice: the Devil with many faces, who forces me to my knees. I am sick with it: forced into macabre games, all for him.
There are many evils in my life: the one who traps me and the one who hunts me. When the sinister, cold-blooded prowler promises to ruin me, who will I become? And who was I before him?

My Dark Angel by augustaoctavia | E | WIP
(June 2025 — TEMPORARY HIATUS. I’ll probably see you in the fall when I’m feeling spooky again).
Blaise felt the edge of the feather he was thumbing in his pocket prick against his finger. He winced a little at the sting, but set his jaw.
“One more thing.” He pulled the feather slowly out of his pocket, flinching slightly at the expression of despair crossing Hermione’s face at the sight of it.
Instead of the brilliant white, almost translucent appearance of a typical Veela feather, the one in his hand was black—so entirely dark that its absence of colour almost seemed to suck the light from the room.
Hermione’s lips parted in wonder. “Is that…?”
“Like I said—it is an exceptional situation. Singular.”
She reached out her hand tentatively to hold the feather. Blaise’s heart was pounding—with anticipation, with the sorrow he would continue to hold secret inside himself, with the grief he had to avoid at all costs.
He had to time this just right.
“Will you help me, Hermione?”
——
A dark Veela story filled with extreme denial of feelings, isolation, manipulation, fear, darkness, and an ambiguous ending (Dramione endgame). Mind the tags, and dive in!
Fool's Mate by charingfae | E | WIP
As the Ministry-Fae Liaison, Hermione is eager to find a resolution to the escalating conflict between their people. Recent attacks have tensions running high, and successful negotiations with the fae would broker an era of peace. But when she finally steps foot into their kingdom, her hubris gets the best of her. To avoid execution for her crimes, the Minister gifts her to the fae.
For life.
She's trapped in the prince’s castle, learning all she can in a bid to end the escalating attacks and find her way home. Like the castle, her captor is cold, cruel, and devastatingly beautiful.
He's also, apparently, her mate.
Undesirables by muchlikepretending | E | WIP
Hermione Granger knows there’s no such thing as true ‘soulmates’. She’s given up hope that there is indeed a perfect someone. She knows she will continue her days, never finding someone who will really understand her, desire her, satisfy her. No, she’s given up that idea a long time ago. Hermione has accepted that she is in fact, undesirable.
Draco Malfoy was living a quiet life after the war, simply existing, in Scotland. Until he gathers word that a certain witch, his witch, no longer is tied to another. So, he comes home to claim her.
The Secrets We Hide by Saphelyn | E | WIP
Hermione Granger is no longer the curious, wide-eyed young witch she once was. Years after the Battle of Hogwarts, she’s become a more controlled, powerful version of herself—quiet, calculating, and holding secrets even her closest allies could never imagine. Beneath her calm exterior, Hermione is awakening to an ancient and dangerous power: the Aether, a mysterious force tied to her bloodline, one that has been suppressed for years.
But Hermione isn’t the only one searching for answers. Draco Malfoy, once her bitter adversary, has become obsessed with uncovering the truth behind the strange energy that seems to be growing within her. Haunted by his own dark past, Draco is driven by an insatiable need to understand what Hermione’s magic means—and he will stop at nothing to pry open her secrets, even if it means burning bridges, forging alliances with dangerous forces, and confronting shadows both literal and metaphorical.
Heres Serpentis by MaryBMeunier | E | WIP
Hermione is Voldemort’s daughter AU.
She was always his. As a child searching for light in the darkness, as a boy yearning for a friend, as a young man whose heart raced at the sight of her, and finally as a man who couldn’t live without her.
Even in their darkest moments, she was his.
And he had never been anything but hers.

Like I Can by Ada_P_Rix - E, one-shot - “You-” He tried to word it as eloquently as possible for her, something smart and poetic and tragic. “For fucks sake-” But he was failing miserably as he looked her in the face and just said; “You don’t just deserve nice.” Her small frame faltered for a moment, her arms in that wooly coat she wore pulling it tighter around her, camel coloured scarf scrunching against her chest. “Oh?” Now she just looked affronted. Fucking hell, he wasn’t explaining himself well at all here, was he? “And tell me, what exactly is it that I deserve? Pity? Brutality? Someone who will treat me like absolute shit and take me for granted?” She looked ferociously sexy as she berated him, a gloved finger poking him in the chest. “Is that what you think I deserve?” He looked down at said finger, eyebrow raised. “No.” “Then tell me, Malfoy.” she spat, inching closer to him and poking him harder. “Tell me what I deserve.” * Or - It's Christmas, Draco is pining and Hermione is about to find out more than she probably needed to know.

Painted Princes and Sugar Plum Dreams by PicklePost - E, WIP - Hermione wasn’t a huge fan of quidditch – even in school – after much pleading at the hands of a certain red-haired witch she decides that one match wouldn’t hurt.

It's ruined! The whole potion's ruined!" Draco looked up, a smirky smile on his face. "Ah, seems someone's lost their grip on their so called 'expertise'." Hermione's anger boiled over. "You idiot! You were supposed to be paying attention! We had one job, Malfoy, and you were busy mansplaining the differences between wolfsbane and asphodel and distracted me!" Draco's smile dropped, his eyes flashing with irritation. "Watch it, Granger. You're not exactly the potion's greatest hope." Hermione's voice rose, her words laced with venom. "You're the one who's going to make us fail, Malfoy. You think you're so much better than everyone else, but you're just a pretentious, self-absorbed prat!" Draco's face darkened, his voice dropping to a menacing tone. "How dare you. You know nothing about me." Their argument escalated, drawing a crowd of onlookers. Slughorn intervened, trying to calm them down. "Ah, ah, my dear students...perhaps a break." But Hermione and Draco were beyond reason, their anger and frustration boiling over.
Forging New Paths by Gr8t_78 - E, one-shot - Perhaps that midnight swim had been a momentary lapse in judgement for Professor Hermione Granger. But what would be her excuse this time?

As luck would have it, a certain pining Slytherin is determined to make this her happiest Christmas yet.

Top 10 Most “Kudos-ed” (Completed) Fics on AO3 of 2025:
A Good Prisoner by greenflowerpot - E, 33 chapters, Words: 122,850 - During his brief stint as a prisoner of the Order, Draco Malfoy notices that Hermione doesn't look to be doing too well. He had always assumed that, given her brilliant mind and gentle nature, those on her side would ensure she is taken care of. Evidently not. Must he really do everything himself? - OR: Dark Draco decides he'd rather like to keep the pretty Healer for himself, since it seems no one else can take proper care of her.
A Season For Setting Fires by mightbewriting - E, 32 chapters, Words: 96,380 - Torture smells like spring. Like daffodils and tulips and snowdrops. Like the bouquets brought inside from the manor gardens to lend their life to cold stone walls that house criminals. Easter mixed with madness makes sense in this twisted landscape; Draco’s only chance at survival is to endure it. He knows this. But that doesn’t quell the twitching in his calves, the flexing in his fingers. Granger lifts her hand off the floor and Draco nearly loses his lunch, stomach churning as he watches her extend her arm, reaching through the translucent cord, reaching towards him. He tries to blink it away, blink blink blink, but both she and the cord are stubborn, persistent things. [In which a soulmate bond appears while Hermione is tortured at Malfoy Manor. Canon divergent from that moment onward.]
A Year and A Day by AMLKoko - E, 89 chapters, Words: 299,145 - Hermione had hit rock bottom when Narcissa Malfoy offered her something she couldn't refuse. She was without a job, without prospects, and nearly homeless, so she had to say yes. But Hermione regretted ever opening that door to Narcissa Malfoy because falling in love hurt, especially when she knew her marriage to Draco Malfoy wasn't built to last forever.
Sacramentum by MyDelphi - E, 34 chapters, Words: 320,000 - Five years after the war, Hermione Granger has very little time for something like a relationship. She's far too busy trying to run the Bureau for Endangered Creatures efficiently, dealing with budget cuts and ignorant ministry officials and finding a way to somehow restore her parents' memories, who are still in Australia and none the wiser about the existence of their daughter. When she discovers that the Wizengamot plans to use Draco Malfoy as a scapegoat whilst dealing with elusive Voldemort loyalists, she offers to testify for him. She's not quite sure how it led to her trying on wedding dresses under the watchful eye of Narcissa Malfoy.
This Bitter Earth by ikorous - E, 34 chapters, Words: 426,554 - Control isn't the only thing Draco Malfoy has lost. But he will get it back. He will get everything back.
