Hi there! I wanted to see if anyone has any recs of fics where we get to follow draco and hermione (and everyone else) bonding from the beginning, starting from year 1 until they're older? It can be a complete rewrite, au, or whatever as long as it start with them being kids and growing up together because these are my favourites! (I rather they're just fluff, but I also don't mind hurt/comfort as long as there's comfort!) tysm!!! <3
The Handkerchief - Gr8t_78 - E, 140 chapters, Words: 400,277 - **this work is entirely canon compliant** The years at Hogwarts were a trying time for Harry Potter, but he was not the only wizard to experience trials and tribulations over those years. Draco Malfoy, pureblood and heir to two Noble and Ancient Houses within the Sacred 28, finds himself in a secret relationship with a muggle born witch. If his father or his fellow Slytherins found out, he’s certain things won’t end well for either of them. But his draw to this witch is too great. Following the perspective of Draco beginning in the first year, we see all of the things that Harry missed over the years, namely that his best friend was secretly dating his rival the entire time. How will it all end?
