The story starts off during the scene where Draco insults Hermione. Oliver sees the incident, of course, so he decides to comfort her. Will it lead to something more despite their age difference? [Hermione/Oliver]

Banner I made today (02/25/09) for the story.  Enjoy.

Midnight was their hour – their time to be together without the disapproving glower of their friends. No one had ever loved her the way he did, but would she feel the same after she learns his secret?

Banner made by me!

Someone with a twisted imagination is murdering Muggle-borns. When Hermione starts dating Draco Malfoy, she thinks she might be targeted next. Can she, along with the Aurors and Draco solve the murder mystery before it's too late? Warnings:EWE? Sexual content. Language. Thanks so much to Melanie for making my banner!

The Battle of Hogwarts is over, and Voldemort was defeated.  Now life is expected to resume as if nothing has changed.  Hermione, Draco, Harry, Ron, and most of their classmates return to Hogwarts to complete their seventh year.  Along the way, new friendships will be forged and old ones severed as they learn to live in a world that, while no longer threatened by Voldemort, is filled with the heartbreak and death they suffered in the final battle and its aftermath. 

Now complete!

After an unfortunate bar fight, Hermione Granger accidentally invites Draco Malfoy to crash on her couch indefinitely, but at least she's got his wand.  She's struggling to hang onto her sanity and pleasant disposition, despite those nasty thoughts that keep popping into her head, but he's already given up on his.

Meanwhile, the rest of the wizarding world is investigating his mysterious disappearance, he's inventing his own whole new reality from the comfort of Hermione's bed (not that she wants him there), the gravity's broken in the kitchen, Harry and Ginny won't stop trying to get her back together with Ron, Ron's sleeping with Lavender, Hermione wants to lay him out, Astoria Greengrass is mourning her not-so-dead fiancé, and everyone's so buried in lies that they might as well just forget about the whole concept of truth.

Sometimes fate brings us far from home, and sometimes it brings us back again. When a friend’s mysterious death causes Draco Malfoy to return to Britain, he is finally forced to face his past, and the love he left behind. A story about second chances.
