STORY COMPLETE

Summary: Draco and Hermione return to Hogwarts, this time as teachers. An excavation of the orginial castle and the surrounding grounds bring about more than just artifacts from the four founders, it also brings more trouble than they could ever realize.

How will they handle the turmoil? Will they be able to deal with the past and still have a future? Will they have time to plan a wedding when they're surrounded by a mystery? Suspense and romance surrounds them, as they try to uncover the secrets of the founders.

Was it more painful to remember, or was it just easier to forget? Draco Malfoy wanted nothing more than to forget his feelings, and to forget his past, but he wore them around his neck like an anchor. Hermione Granger had worked hard to stop feeling, and when she left her past behind, somehow, in the process, she forced herself to stop remembering everything painful in her life.

Their lives were intertwined; their past, present, and future, and that was the reason for their ambiguous feelings. Forced together to face their future, perhaps they can help each other conquer feelings unknown...for him, he just might feel again, for her, she might remember what it feels like to love again.  Dark subject matter, will sensitively deal with rape and suicide, in a non-descriptive way.

Regency era Dramione.  She first encountered him as a highwayman, and she was intrigued.  She might even be falling in love with the man, for though he appeared to be a cad, he was actually a kind and generous man.  He wondered something, once the mask was removed, and she found out who he was, could she ever love him as himself?  (Banner by me)

Draco Malfoy literally saved Hermione Granger's life, by killing his own father.  He claimed he didn't do it for her, he claimed he did it for himself.  She didn't care why he did it, she only knew that she had to repay the debt.

She repaid the debt by taking the blame for killing Snape, though Draco was the guilty party.  She also arranged for Draco's release from jail.  She also did these for her own selfish reasons.  She wanted someone's pain to end, and since she couldn't end her own pain, perhaps she could end his.

Draco told her he hated her, and he wanted her to leave him alone.  So, that's what she did.  So why was he now at her door, claiming he was sorry, claiming he was wrong, claiming that he never hated her.  He told her he loved her.  She knew differently.  Hers was not a life that was worth loving.

Hermione Granger sat at her desk at work and wondered something: If a tree fell on her head in the middle of the woods, and no one was around to hear her scream, did that mean she would be alone for the rest of her life? Those were the weird thoughts that plagued her mind. Her best friends told her she was looking for Mr. Perfect, and he might not exist, but what was wrong with waiting for what you want? Why settle for less?

She thought Draco Malfoy was close to being Mr. Perfect, but he didn't think of her in the same way that she thought of him. She even told her friends she was going to marry him some day.

Draco gave her some advice, he told her not to look for 'Mr. Right', because he might not be out there. He told her to look for 'Mr. Right Now.' How can she tell him that she found her 'Mr. Right', and it was him. >All Characters and canon situations belong to JKR and I make no money from using them in this story.

Summary: Hermione Granger, witch extraordinaire, is getting her degree in magical law. She’s written a profile on a deranged wizard who’s visiting Muggle children in their sleep, under the guise of ‘The Tooth Fairy’. Instead of leaving coins or candy in exchange for their teeth, he gives them horrific nightmares, and blames it all on one witch…Hermione Granger. He’s slipped through the Aurors fingers in England and is now doing the same thing in the States.

Told by her superiors that she can no longer work on the case, because it’s too personal, Hermione decided to work outside the law, and enlist the help of a professional bounty hunter…a man of mystery by the name of ‘Ranger’. This Latin man seems to possess a bit of magic of his own, as well as a great big helping of sexuality. There’s something between the two, be it chemistry, or a bit of magic. However, she can’t let it be known that she’s a witch, or just how much she wants him. After all, her only goal is to catch one man, not two, right?
Crossover fic with ‘Ranger’ from Janet Evanovich’s Stephanie Plum Mystery Stories.

Hermione Granger works for the Department of Mysteries.  Her current task is to examine dark objects.  She needs help, so the Minister of Magic gives her a 'dark object expert' to help her with her work.  Little did she know the 'expert' was none other than Lucius Malfoy.  She would rather die than accept his help.  That's the problem, she just might die, if one object does its job.

He finds her incredibly irritating, very annoying, and extremely pretty.  He will find helping her no problem at all, except when one object might just be the death of her, then, he will find himself in a reluctant obligation to save her life.  He would just let her die, but he finds her quite fetching these days.  If he has to save her life, he will, but he will want repayment of some type.  Will she repay the debt that is owed him for saving her life?

Everyone deserves a second chance. A second chance at love, life and happiness. Hermione was no exception. After a recent break-up, she was ready for her second chance. However, she never imagined in a million years that her second chance would come by way of Draco Malfoy, or that she would be giving him his own second chance. Happiness was something earned, not deserved, as they would both discover together. Romance/Dramione. Banner by me.

The last time Draco Malfoy saw Hermione Granger, she was in the mud, on the battlefield, close to death.  He saved her, but he didn't do it for her.  He did it for himself.  He was still a selfish person, after all. 

Now she was sitting across from him, and she wanted to repay the debt.  He didn't need her to repay his 'kindness'.  He didn't need anything from her.  He only wanted her to leave him alone. 

Sometimes, fate has other plans, and somewhere along the line, he changed his thoughts about her.  It was as if he had a sudden awakening, and in the end, it turned out that even though he save her life, she may have saved his soul. Banner by me.>

Written for the Valentine's Day Challenge 2009.

Prompt: They were forbidden, their love hidden from the world, but for this one day a year, nothing else mattered but their feelings for each other.

Summary: Hermione had to hide her relationship with her pureblood boyfriend,and she was tired of it, and she no longer wanted to hide. But when he decided to go to a business meeting rather than go out with her, on Valentine's Day no less, then she decided to forget about him. Maybe another certain pureblood might help her to forget her problems, and might give her the Valentine's Day surprise that she thinks she deserves. (Banner by me)>

This story follows Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy through four different, but crucial weeks in their life together.

In week one, they reconnect, after many years of being merely acquaintances. Can one week make a real difference in their lives? Is it enough time to fall in love? For Hermione Granger, that first week was the most important week of her life. She went from feeling sad and small, viewing her whole world as grey, to falling in love.

The second week occurs months later, and follows the pair as they plan their wedding. While Draco is happy and willing to plan the entire thing, Hermione is reluctant and guarded. Why does she have a funny feeling that there is another reason why he wants to marry her, besides being in love.

Week three is the most important week of all. Taking place many months later, she finds she is with child. Is this happy news, or is there 9 months of pain and agony awaiting them. They will have to live through it to find out.

The fourth week is the final week in the series.  Each chapter covers one day, in one month, of one year, starting with the first year their daughter is in school, and ending the year their daughter marries.  The ups and downs of their journey of life in this last installment will test not only Draco and Hermione's love, but the strength of their marriage. 

Through the ups and downs and many weeks of their lives and loves, Hermione and Draco at least have one thing, they have each other.
