DRAMIONE ONE-SHOT REC LIST
My sweet friend @darkofthemoonfic and I were discussing one-shots and I thought it was about time I compiled a list of some of my favourites.
Note: most of these are mature or explicit for spicy times. I like what I like 🤷🏽♀️
Exposure by @biscuitsforpotter
Hermione has been attracted for her best friend for years. Draco Malfoy, now a famous photographer, is absolutely gorgeous and completely oblivious. Hermione wants to make him realize how she feels about him, but she'll have to step out of her comfort zone to get there.
In the Darkness All Cats are Grey by @akashathekitty
Hermione has a secret assignation at the Ravenclaw dormitories. So does Draco. Seems like they both will get what they want, just not from who they thought...
Oblivious to the Rose by dirtymudblood
Every Friday is theirs and theirs alone. But they’re not dating. Really, they’re not. They’re not. So it shouldn’t matter if he misses a Friday for a date. Right? Right.
Heat Wave Hypothesis by @indreamsink
The weather is unbearable and magic is on the fritz. Draco Malfoy decides to hide out in Hermione Granger's dorm, whether she appreciates it or not.
Keep Your Eyes on Me by @nuclearnik
In the midst of planning an end-of-year ball, Hermione finds an intriguing way to de-stress.
Restricted Rendezvous by @willhavetheirtrinkets (Musyc)
Draco looked up from his book in the library and caught her staring at him. Deliberately, he met her eyes. She looked down, her cheeks turning a soft pink. He folded his hands under his chin, waited until she looked at him again, then dragged the point of his tongue across his bottom lip.
Draco follows Hermione into the Restricted Section.
Here for the Cake by @dresupi
It's Draco's birthday and besides his mother, Hermione's the only one who remembers. He basically gets to have his cake and eat it too. ;) All in all, a nice birthday. ;)
Set post second war, not epilogue compliant in the slightest. Hermione owns a bookshop, Draco rents the office upstairs.
Penthesilea or The Secret Kiss by Margot_le_Faye
“And so a secret kiss, brings madness with the bliss, and I will think of this when I’m dead in my grave.” Tom Waites, Alice
Off the Ground by @pacific-rimbaud
“'So do I get my reward?' he asked.
Hermione’s eyes grew wide. 'A reward?' She pointed back over her shoulder. 'But I’ve only just watched your House run off with your reward. It’s in the shape of a rather gaudy silver cup.'
'Granger, you’re the one who said—'
Hermione Granger helps Draco Malfoy check an item off his bucket list.
Fulfilled by @misdemeanor1331
Hermione had planned to spend her evening drinking, dancing, and trying to forget all that was wrong in her life. She never considered that being drugged and abducted could lead directly to what was right with it.
On the Perils of Free Advice by @worksofstone-blog-blog
Draco's stuck working as a sex-advice columnist after the Ministry impounded both his family's money and Malfoy Manor. He traded on his sex god reputation at Hogwarts in order to get the job, but there are a few small problems: he's a virgin, and he also has no idea what he's talking about.
When Hermione Granger arrives at his office, irate at the poor quality of his advice, Draco finds himself blackmailed into letting her instruct him on the proper way to give sex advice. She apparently gets up to some pretty creative sexual practices in her spare time, but she's also an irritating, intrusive know-it-all. Draco should be chomping at the bit to get rid of her, so why is he fantasizing about her all the time?
Love is Blind by @aneiria-writes
‘Draco, we need to talk about what happened,’ Hermione said now, placing a cup of tea next to her partner as he sat hunched over her kitchen table. She gently laid her hand over his, guiding him towards the handle so he could drink. ‘I have to complete our report for the DMLE.’
Draco Malfoy grimaced and shook his head. ‘There’s really no need, Granger,’ he said, but she pushed on anyway. Draco had acted as bravely as any Gryffindor today, and she wanted to know why.
‘For all we knew, that curse could have been an Avada. You could have died, but you jumped in front of me without hesitation.’
‘Of course I bloody did; I’m your partner!’ he snapped back, looking in her direction with his sightless silver eyes. ‘That’s the first thing we were taught in Auror training, remember? Always have your partner’s back.’
Ungentlemanly Behavior by MissELY, @morticiahavisham
After a tipsy hook up, Draco Malfoy has an apology to make.
Hermione Granger would prefer not to hear it.
But when they're forced to work together on a tricky translation, she's finds she can't avoid it.
Love Me Twice by @bex-chan-blog
'"They tore her apart and then wiped me out of her mind to send me a message. To mess up my life. To break..." he trailed off. Blaise nodded his head with understanding. "To break your heart," he finished for him.'
nothing to my name (but i can give you that) by @monsterleadmehome
It's Head Girl Hermione Granger's birthday and all she wants is to forget the war for a few blissful moments. A drunken moment of weakness leads to an unlikely tryst with Draco Malfoy. But when she finds herself wanting more, he pulls away.
My Big Fat Muggle Wedding by @biscuitsforpotter
Draco's gotten more used to having Muggles as future-in-laws, but what about his parents?
If We Were Made Of Water by @jaxx-in-a-box
“Maybe this isn’t about my safety more than it is about your need to keep your dirty little secret hidden. Merlin forbid the pureblood echelon find out that the Malfoy heir is slumming it. ”
Draco balked and found himself at a loss for words. It stung a little more than he would have liked to admit. Surely she would have known him better by now.
Hermione knew him best, after all.
Draco has enough to concern himself in his 8th year without Hermione Granger's Muggle Culture-of-the-Week nonsense. Unfortunately, she's far too tenacious to let him slip away unnoticed.
Queen of Lonely Hearts by @raven-m-3
“You’re an arrogant prick."
“You harass me constantly.”
“You have no right to touch me.”
Hermione seized what was left of her self-control and ripped free, stumbling backward. “What is this.”
Malfoy simply tilted his head. “What do you think?”
Hermione Granger has a brilliant idea for the office Christmas Party this year. Her coworker, Draco Malfoy, begs to disagree.
i love you, but accidental by @mrsren
That Can Be Arranged by @darkofthemoonfic
Secret doors, hidden halls, and moving staircases are commonplace at Hogwarts. So why does it feel like the castle is forcing him into locked rooms with Hermione Granger?
Blessing | Devastation by @monsterleadmehome
After Draco Malfoy defects to the Order and destroys a Horcrux, Voldemort wants him dead. The Order decides to send him into hiding in the least likely place, with the least likely protector.
Lead Me Straight Back Home by @roseharpermaxwell
Draco is already the most important person in Hermione’s life, which is why she really needs to stop fantasizing about anything more. Their platonic balance is enough...until he could belong to someone else.
Featuring two brilliant idiots in love, observant friends, and married NottPott.
The Nutcracker Pas de Deux by @heyjude19-writing
It began as a way for Hermione to remember her parents, to honour a part of her childhood. But now every Christmas season, Draco Malfoy finds a way into her holiday tradition of attending a performance of The Nutcracker.
The Definition of Insanity by @ikorous
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.” —Albert Einstein
A Stake of Holly Through His Heart by @lovesbitca8
The one thing Draco Malfoy hated more than Christmas was snow. Snow had a habit of ruining your plans, causing delays, and generally making you damp. But this Christmas Day blesses him with his third and fourth least favorite things as well: crying girls and Hermione Granger. || 13 GOING ON 30 AU x A CHRISTMAS CAROL
Glowing Embers by @o0sarena0o
The thirst for knowledge is a curious thing. It will bring enlightenment, but sometimes, with a little luck, it will bring so much more.
Heartless by @kittenshift-17
Merlin, but they needed to stop doing this. They were supposed to be patrolling to corridors to prevent other people from shagging in dark corners, but every night this week when they’d been assigned to patrol together, they’d ended up naked and swearing and sweating on each other despite the frigid winter chill pervading the draughty corridors.
Two Dry Martinis by DarkoftheMoon
“You’re brilliant,” he said, flashing those teeth again. “What did I do before you arrived? And what else might you teach me?”
Hermione knew she was blushing so she took another sip of her drink. The gin crisp and just the slightest hint of vermouth — how she liked it. When she flicked her eyes back to the bartender he was watching her.
“A fair number of things, I’d expect.”
Bluebird Variation by gemii
Hermione and Draco are ex-nemeses, friends with benefits, and potential pas de deux partners. Did they mention they both look great in blue?
Stars in the Sky by @anneamm
Black by @thewaitwasworthitlove-blog
"She took a deep breath and remembered why she was here - to make Draco Malfoy sweat. She pressed her feelings down. Now was not a time to get all dewy and nervous and tremulous. That time was past. Now it was time to get even."
“Granger!” Draco shouted. “Granger, help-!”
And without stopping to think she was racing over, fearing the worst, heart pounding, kicking boxes and fabric out of the way until-
“It’s going to explode!” he cried, and shoved a buzzing object point-first at her with an expression of helpless panic.
The sheer ridiculousness of the situation hit her all at once. And she burst into giggles as the item vibrated merrily in his palm.
“Draco,” she snorted, “that’s a rabbit.”
I Know, I Know by nevertoosweets
Potter shot to his feet, bolting across the courtyard, and before the thought even entered his brain, Draco was racing after him.
Screams were echoing all around him—despair behind and euphoria before.
“POTTER!” Draco’s voice reverberated over all the cries and spells. Potter turned, hand raised just in time to catch Draco’s hawthorn wand in midair.
Harry turned it on the snake. “Confringo!”
The spell shot past his ear but Draco couldn’t stop. He barreled past Potter towards Granger, her mouth wide in an O, her eyes sparkling behind the curls escaping from her braid.
She could change the course of the war in a single moment.
One.
Single.
Moment.
oh, when i have you by @vesperics
Hermione may be obsessed with her professor.
First-Name Basis by Santhe
“I’m not trying to get rid of you,” she whispers, folding in further. His pacing hesitates, halfway between her and the fire.
He has his old, icy voice back, but there’s a new tremor to it now. “Then what are you doing?”
With her hands pressed to her chest, she can feel what he felt—pulse hammering well over two hundred beats per minute. Chest stuttering, muscles shaking, voice broken when she quietly admits, “I’m so lonely, Draco; aren’t you?”
To Feel Her Teeth by @darkofthemoonfic
On a cold night Draco encounters something unexpected in the Forbidden Forest. What he sees consumes him, and he wants to be devoured.
Essence of Dittany by dirtymudblood
Of course, they’re not the only ones with scars. Harry has one on his forehead, for one. Ron has one that runs around his ankle from the chess game in first year. Even Ginny has a small cut that splits through one eyebrow. But his scars? They’re the biggest. The ugliest.
This is just a handful of my favourite one-shots - there are plenty more out there for you to read! My apologies if I've tagged anyone incorrectly.
