Lost In Translation by simplifiedemotions for sunlitlovers

Summary
Language is like tea leaves. Steeped and coloured, flavoured bursts on the tongue: bitter or sweet. Greens, ambers, and fusion blends similar to the building of cultures. Language, the largest and most versatile way humans communicated. A unique ability to cross sounds and form words, creating energy and shifting the surrounding air into waves that spread like currents, linking one person with another. Bonding that becomes the core of identity, of stature, of expression.
And somehow, that expression is so often lost. Hidden away in storage closets and underneath cracked floorboards. In the space between two people, a lie instead of a truth. Buried, packed away, sold, words are often used to leverage machinations. Out of cruelty, currency, or concern.
In the time and space between two people trapped for one evening in a love hotel.
Or: Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are stuck in a love hotel for an evening.

Summary
“Oh, hello, you,” Hermione said softly. It was a little frog, no bigger than the hollow of the palm of her hand. Gently, she scooped it up in her hand and smiled. It really was very cute.
Then it opened its mouth and said: “What the fuck, Granger?”
That was when she screamed and threw the frog straight back into the plants.

Summary
Hermione Granger’s job is very simple. Everyone wants a piece of her, and she gives everyone what they want: a win for the party, a pet project nudged through committee, a favour traded in light tones. An autograph. A quote. A smile for the camera. A name to curse at the dinner table. Her energy, her time, her heart.
The only one who doesn’t want something from her is Draco. He just wants her.
~~~
His face hovers above her, his cheeks dimpling. Then his familiar weight is pressing down on her.
A blurry question threads through the far reaches of her mind. Is it really you?
She makes a fuzzy noise.
He hushes her, pulling off the bedsheets, pushing up her slip. His brows crease at the position of her hand, covering her entrance. Wordlessly, he presses his nose to her fingers and draws a breath, groaning at what he smells there.
“Oh, darling,” he exhales. “Did you fuck yourself to sleep?”

Summary
“Draco—” She scoffs, certainly trying to chastise him. “We’re supposed to be out in the ballroom— anyone could walk back here!”
“Can’t a man ravish his wife for just a moment? Just a little fun, and then I’ll return you to the masses.” It wasn’t technically a lie, although he doubted she would want to return after this.
From the way she wiggled against him currently, her bum pressing back into his growing erection, he would guess she wouldn’t last five minutes.
“You’re cruel.” She accuses, her hands reaching back around to grip into the fabric of his robes for support.
“You know I don’t like to play fair, darling,” He says, teeth nipping along the column of her throat. “I didn’t want you coming here at all tonight, and I especially warned you against those shoes. You can’t blame me for doing what I can to get you out of them.”
-
While at the Christmas Eve Gala his parents throw every year, the only thing Draco has on his mind is getting his pregnant wife home for the night. And he's not afraid to play a little dirty to get his way.

Summary
Draco has long given up the fanciful notion that he might get what he wants.
The reason is not that he doesn't think he deserves it. It is because his elves are utter fucking wankers.
Still, when Pansy sets him up on a date with a witch he's been pining after for months, Draco prepares. He even has the elves lay out his favourite jacket.
Wait – where is his jacket?
***
Follow Draco on a fine spring day, during which he attempts to woo Hermione Granger, is humiliated by his own dressing room, accidentally becomes an environmentalist, and finds out he has been wrong about more than one thing.

Summary
Hermione Granger just wants an orgasm.
A perfectly reasonable aspiration after a brutal shift in St. Mungo’s trauma ward, most would agree. Her trusty vibrator, Hamish, hasn’t let her down yet, and she really—really—needs to come.
But when a half-dead Auror shows up on her doorstep, requiring her life-saving services, Hermione’s dream of getting in a cathartic, satisfactory wank before dawn begins to feel like it might not be in the cards for her—which is seriously unacceptable, because (have I mentioned?) she really, sort of desperately, needs to fucking come.
I suppose it’s a good thing, then, that the aforementioned half-dead Auror knows just what to do.
An ode to mental health and female pleasure.

Summary
The Second Wizarding War is at a standstill.
Both sides haven't made any substantial progress and the frontlines remain unchanging. Voldemort's legion is destroying the infrastructure. Dumbledore's Army is suffering from psychological trauma and displacement.
After the very public execution of his parents, Draco Malfoy disappeared during a battle he was supposed to command with all the dragons. Dragons would be the perfect solution for either side to finally gain the upper hand.
The Dark Lord and the Order both receive a letter to send one representative to convince Draco who he should side with. For someone who can't be tortured, can't be threatened, the only way to gain his loyalty is to convince him. Hermione Granger and Theo Nott are the representatives sent to convince him.
Now Draco is being forced to choose.
The Muggle-born witch he's always watched as they grew up OR his friends that are the last bit of family he has left.
> Major Character Death Tag Spoiler: Crookshanks needs his parents, they don't die in this story. If that's what was making you hesitate - Don't!

Summary
Hermione Granger, returning to Hogwarts after the War without Harry and Ron by her side, wants nothing more than a quiet, peaceful final year at school. Instead, she winds up with two new friends. One of them is an anonymous, charming penpal that only goes by the name of Romeo. The other is Draco Malfoy, who is far more companionable (and far more handsome) than she ever gave him credit for.
To her dismay, she develops crushes on both of them at the same time.
(Spoiler: It's less of a problem than she thinks it is.)

Summary
He saw her again, for the first time since the war, in the bowels of the Ministry, a horrid place to be in general, and even worse when the breath was knocked out of you.
When Hermione Granger (dash Krum — he acknowledged this for one time only, and then refused to think it again) stepped into the conference room, Draco’s first thought was: tight.
Horrid, misogynistic, leering. He was no better than a wizard on the street. But it didn’t apply just to her body — wrapped in a combination of robes and a navy sheath dress, slightly pleated at the collar — but to her hair, which was coiled into a bun that drew out the planes of her face. Her eyes, tight. Her lips, tight. Her hands, which clutched a sheaf of parchment, tight. Her demeanour, which was utterly controlled.
Tight.
He wanted to break it. It lit him up, from the base of his spine to his brainstem, this desire.
__
Or, Draco Malfoy sees what he wants, and pulls the strings to get it.

Summary
NOW COMPLETE!
Hermione was just trying to have a normal Tuesday: feed her overly dramatic cat, open a definitely-dangerous ancient armoire, ignore Cormac McLaggen until he wanders off to do whatever it is useless men do.Instead, she got: A surprise heist, four suspiciously well-coordinated intruders in designer cloaks, one ancient book radiating “murder me” vibes and a front-row seat to what can only be described as a magical boyband breakup under extreme stress.
Inside the warehouse: Chaos, spells, and a near-bludgeoning featuring one decorative bust. Outside the warehouse: Harry Potter with 36 Aurors, a plan held together with sellotape and rage, and Ron Weasley seconds from committing murder on live Prophet coverage.
It’s like Ocean’s Eleven had a baby with Die Hard and gave it a wand, a trauma bond, and a lot of feelings no one is emotionally equipped to handle. The intruders say they want the cursed object. Hermione suspects what they really need is group therapy, juice boxes, and a very long nap.
The Vault is: 50% tension 30% sarcasm 20% bad decisions and 100% one Gryffindor witch with a coin-based panic button saving her own damn life while the wizards argue about tactical logistics.

Ever since she’d been small, Hermione’s reward for good marks had been a rampage through a bookshop, so the day she tore open her O.W.L.s results and triumphantly brandished the eleven Outstandings, her beaming mother said, “We’ll go to Foyles tomorrow,” without any discussion required.

Summary
Hermione Granger joined the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures for three reasons. One - She wanted to distance herself from Ron and Harry. They were still her best friends, but the mention of the ‘Golden Trio’ made bile rise in her stomach. Two - She hated hospitals, magical or otherwise. The Theseus Scamander Auror Ward seemed too large and far too busy for comfort. Three - It was mainly paperwork, right? No one ever mentioned the two rooms in The 'Dangerous' Dai Llewellyn Ward: Serious Bites, dedicated to the DRCMC.
Draco Malfoy's choice to further his studies as a Healer was his escape. An escape from the suffocating Manor and all the memories that haunted him there. An escape from a life of drinking, gambling, and general debauchery. An escape from his parents plotting and planning. Why did he become a Healer on The 'Dangerous' Dai Llewellyn Ward: Serious Bites? It had nothing to do with a curly-haired witch who ended up in the ward more often than was recommended.
