A Far Better Thing...

Harry Potter Fanfiction (Work in Progress) Draco Malfoy x Hermione Granger Alternate Universe: War & Postwar, Trials Setting Currently Published: 3 Chapters, approx. 8800 words. Available on both AO3 and Wattpad.

The war took Hermione Granger's mother, her sense of home, and—for a while—even her father's memory of her. It left Draco Malfoy a name he can't outrun and a family he no longer recognizes. Neither of them expected to find their way back to each other. Months after the war's end, Draco sits in a Ministry holding cell, awaiting a tribunal that has already decided what he is before it hears a word he says — and Hermione will not let him go quietly. Some debts come due no matter how far you run.

CHAPTER 3 IS AVAILABLE NOW! 💌

A Far Better Thing...

Harry Potter Fanfiction (Work in Progress) Draco Malfoy x Hermione Granger Alternate Universe: War & Postwar, Trials Setting

This is what we are, Draco thought, watching Hermione Granger’s control finally break on his family’s drawing room floor. This is what we’ve always been. Only I never had to watch it happen before. Excerpt from Chapter 2 of A Far Better Thing, available on Wattpad and AO3.

CHAPTER 2 IS AVAILABLE NOW! Click the links above to read on AO3 or Wattpad. 💌

A Far Better Thing...

Harry Potter Fanfiction (Work in Progress) Draco Malfoy x Hermione Granger Alternate Universe: War & Postwar, Trials Setting

Hermione Granger looked like someone who had aged in a different way than he had. There were shadows under her eyes that hadn’t been there before the war, and a stillness to the way she held herself now that he didn’t remember from Hogwarts. She had her hair tied back with efficiency rather than care, a few strands already loose. She looked like a woman who had taken on a second war entirely by choice. Excerpt from Chapter 1 of "A Far Better Thing", available on AO3 and Wattpad.

CHAPTER ONE IS AVAILABLE NOW! I am thrilled to be sharing the first chapter of my newest work-in-progress! Click the links above to read on AO3 or Wattpad. 💌

A Far Better Thing...

Harry Potter Fanfiction (Upcoming, Currently Unpublished) Draco Malfoy x Hermione Granger Alternate Universe: War & Postwar, Trials Setting

This is what we are, Draco thought, watching Hermione Granger’s control finally break on his family’s drawing room floor. This is what we’ve always been. Only I never had to watch it happen before. Excerpt from an unpublished chapter of "A Far Better Thing," an upcoming fanfiction work by hollypress.

I'm very excited to share the first little piece of "A Far Better Thing," a Dramione fanfiction work that I am currently planning and drafting, and I hope to publish the first chapter very soon! The plan is to release one chapter at a time, cross-posted on AO3 and Wattpad. This is just a sneak peek at what's to come - I can't wait to start sharing this story with you!

A Far Better Thing

Harry Potter Universe | Dramione | Upcoming Fanfic

Six months after the war, Draco Malfoy sits in a Ministry holding cell, waiting for a tribunal that has already decided what he is before it hears a word he says. Hermione Granger – the only person still fighting for him – will not let him go quietly. But in the wreckage of a war everyone claims to have won, justice has a way of becoming its own kind of cruelty. What does a wizarding world owe the people whom it once condemned by blood alone? And what does it cost to save someone the world has already tried and convicted?

I'm so excited to share the logline/premise of my upcoming project, A Far Better Thing. This will be a Harry Potter fanfiction, centered around Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger, cross-posted to AO3 and Wattpad. Behind the scenes, I'm currently moving from the world-building and outlining stage, into the actual drafting. Which means I intend to post the first chapter or two soon! Stay tuned!

Xoxo, Holly
