Summary
“Why don’t you just line them all up and kiss them one by one until you find your mate?” Hermione asked logically, “That would put them, and you, out of your misery,”
“Misery?”
“You know what I mean, Malfoy. All this waiting? Don’t you want to find out who she is?”
Malfoy looked at her, eyes locked on hers, for so long it was nearly uncomfortable and then he slowly looked away.
“What if I don’t want to?” he said quietly, “What if I want to have a bit more time to - “
She looked at him, at his handsome face. It dawned on her then.
“I see - you want to be able to fuck around? Sow some more wild oats?”
She saw the red burn in his cheeks. He looked annoyed and his eyes flashed back to hers.
“And you don’t want to run the risk of one of them being your future mate, do you? Fucking them and accidentally awakening the bond before you’re ready. All too risky. The only safe way would be a muggle born. Someone who could never be your mate.”
So that would leave you with - “
The thoughts fell into place in her mind and her mouth opened in surprise.
Hermione said the word ‘me’ at exactly the same moment that Draco breathed ‘you’.

Summary
“Mr Bridgerton? Colin?”
He almost did not recognise her. She looked very different — pretty red curls bobbed fashionably; cheeks and lips stained with a little rouge; a day dress in a lovely mauve colour that made her eyes seem bluer, somehow — but it was her scent that threw him off. Now that he thought about it, he could not quite recall what Penelope Featherington actually smelled like (he had not seen her in years, after all). She was so often at Bridgerton House that all he could summon was the same lilac smell that his mother and his siblings bore, but of course there must be other notes he was forgetting.
Still, he was fairly certain she had never smelled like this: vetiver and geranium, sharp and green and floral.
Not a bad smell by any means — just not Penelope’s. Even though he could not recall her scent, he knew certainly this was not it. She must be wearing perfume. It befuddled him so much that he realised he had been staring at her silently for a lot longer than was polite, especially for an old family friend he had not seen in ages.

Summary
------
Hermione stormed out after, hair and magic crackling. And though she didn’t avoid Harry in particular, she had opted not to go anywhere near Ron and since Ron stuck by him most of the time, she had stayed away.It wasn’t much of a task for her to do so, especially since her room was in the Head Dorms. Though she talked and interacted with him normally whenever Ron was absent, otherwise she sat with Neville, Ginny and Luna, but mostly- to Harry’s chagrin…
Draco Malfoy.
At the Slytherin table. In every class. At the library.
Much to everyone’s confusion and shock, and Ron’s vexation.
Yes. That fight was the start of his “normal” and “peace” slipping away from his fingers. Or perhaps it was what expedited it.
------
AU! Harry's wish for peace and normal in his eighth year continues to be a pipe dream thanks to a budding/secret relationship and a very temperamental Ron Weasley.
