A Most Inconvenient Devotion: an original adaptation of Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by isthisselfcare — Chapter 14 — Touch Me Not Lees meer
Draco and Hermione begin Midsummer morning disguised as hopelessly besotted Muggle newlyweds, hiking toward the monastery that guards the relic they have come to steal. Between questionable fashion choices, an ill-fated tumble into a ditch, and some increasingly dangerous moments of closeness, their supposedly simple plan rapidly becomes anything but.
Once inside the Magdalene’s grotto, the pair must bluff, improvise, and dismantle a succession of formidable magical defences before they can reach the hidden reliquary. But when they finally arrive, the treasure chamber has one last surprise waiting for them.

A Most Inconvenient Devotion: an original adaptation of Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by isthisselfcare — Chapter 13 — Hormone and Crotch Lees meer
Hermione has a favour to ask Draco—one involving the Summer Solstice, a heavily protected monastery in southern France, and the theft of a fragment from Mary Magdalene’s skull. Naturally, Draco is delighted by the criminal possibilities.
As their carefully planned mission begins, an undercover journey through Provence gives them an unexpected stretch of ordinary time together. Between reckless driving, seaside wandering, sharp banter, and increasingly difficult-to-ignore attraction, Draco finds himself confronting feelings that are becoming much harder to dismiss.

A Most Inconvenient Devotion: an original adaptation of Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by isthisselfcare — Chapter 12 — The Manor of Theseus Lees meer
Hermione accepts an invitation to Malfoy Manor, forcing both her and Draco to confront how much the place has changed—and how much the past still matters. Between rebuilt halls, old memories, unexpected vulnerability, and increasingly personal banter, an uncomfortable afternoon becomes something far more revealing.
As Draco tries to manage Hermione’s unease, the boundaries between professional concern, friendship, and something harder to name continue to blur. A quiet moment by the fountain only becomes more complicated when Blaise Zabini arrives and notices rather more than Draco would like.

A Most Inconvenient Devotion: an original adaptation of Draco Malfoy and the Mortifying Ordeal of Being in Love by isthisselfcare — Chapter 11 — Amortentia Lees meer
When someone tests the wards around Hermione’s cottage, Draco arrives minutes too late to identify the intruder—and the possibility that her secret research has attracted unwanted attention becomes harder to dismiss. Their investigation soon gives way to a very different kind of complication when confiscated love potions reveal that some preferences may have changed since their school days.
Between suspicious magical traces, classroom sparring, inconvenient sincerity, Amortentia, and one thoroughly ill-advised encounter with a Cambridge gardener, danger and attraction continue to make equally poor companions.

A perilous broom flight across the North Sea carries Draco and Hermione toward the ancient fires of Eynhallow, where wild magic, strange creatures, and a centuries-old Beltane tradition await. Between salt spray, standing stones, and a long night beside the flames, their uneasy partnership begins to look increasingly like something neither of them is ready to name.
By morning, small acts of care have become harder to dismiss—and somehow more awkward than the danger that brought them there.

Draco’s idea of a routine wellness check somehow becomes tea, banoffee pie, and an increasingly comfortable evening in Hermione’s cottage. But when her research points toward the Orkney Islands on Beltane, he decides her supposedly harmless trip is no longer something she’ll be making alone.
A missed ferry leaves them with one questionable alternative: Old Glory, an ancient two-seater broom, a cold stretch of North Sea, and Hermione’s profound hatred of flying.

Draco arrives at the Delacroix fête with one uncomplicated objective—only to discover that none of the evening’s eligible witches can hold his attention. Then the mysterious woman he’s been watching across the room turns around, and suddenly Hermione Granger is complicating everything.
Between sharp arguments, meddling friends, an increasingly inconvenient dance, and a few discoveries neither of them seems eager to examine too closely, professional irritation begins blurring into something much harder for Draco to explain.

Draco’s curiosity finally gets the better of him when he discovers the title of Hermione’s fiercely protected ancient grimoire: Revelations. Her furious response follows him from the Ministry to the windswept hills of Uffington, where a suspicious plant, an abandoned tracking ring, and an unfortunate misunderstanding with passing Muggles make their already complicated arrangement even more combustible.
But their quarrel gives way to something far more revealing when Hermione’s protective magic suddenly pulls her across the country in the middle of the night. What begins as confusion leaves Draco confronting just how instinctively she will come to his aid—and how difficult that realization is to ignore.

A false alarm sends Draco racing to Hermione’s cottage before dawn, only to discover that the apparent crisis is something far less deadly—and considerably more embarrassing. Their increasingly easy correspondence soon leaves Draco confronting an even stranger problem: Hermione Granger has somehow become the standard against which everyone else seems rather dull.
When Hermione speaks at a Muggle medical conference in Oxford, Draco arrives as her reluctant security detail and finds himself unexpectedly impressed by both her brilliance and the world she moves through. An evening of doctors, pub trivia, whisky, and dangerously sincere compliments pushes their friendship into territory neither of them is quite prepared to examine.

Draco’s curiosity about Hermione’s mysterious “asterisk holidays” finally gets the better of him when an Imbolc trip to Somerset reveals a pattern hidden in her schedule. What begins as a convenient excuse to escape his mother’s matchmaking tea soon becomes an unexpectedly entertaining day of rain, Muggle travel, woodland searching, and questions Hermione has no intention of answering.
Between a disastrous Apparition into a moving Mini, an overly enthusiastic Sneakoscope, and Draco’s questionable attempt at Muggle fashion, the pair settle into their familiar rhythm of irritation and reluctant amusement. But a quieter exchange about the past briefly strips away the banter, revealing how much has changed—and how much remains difficult to say aloud.

Draco’s campaign to improve Hermione’s security finally brings him to her Cambridgeshire cottage, where books, Muggle technology, a deeply judgmental half-Kneazle, and Hermione’s stubborn independence prove nearly as challenging as the warding itself. After hours of magical fortification and argumentative negotiation, the evening turns unexpectedly intimate when they reach the most important part of Draco’s plan: the matching silver rings.
What begins as a practical protection measure carries an awkward significance neither of them is particularly eager to examine—and establishes a new connection that may prove rather harder to ignore than either expects.

Draco’s security assessment quickly expands from Hermione’s laboratory to Hermione herself, exposing an exhausting schedule, formidable magical defences, and one invention he never expected to find: an Anti-Magical Forcefield built around her Muggle computers.
Determined to avoid becoming her permanent bodyguard, Draco devises an alternative. His fifty-sixth recommendation comes in the form of an enchanted silver ring—one Hermione has several very good reasons to inspect before trusting.

Draco Malfoy has built a respectable career as an Auror, but his latest protection assignment presents a complication no amount of professional experience can make comfortable: the Principal is Hermione Granger. Fifteen years after the war, their reunion at her Cambridge laboratory is every bit as tense, sharp, and stubbornly competitive as either of them might have expected.
When Draco challenges Hermione to prove her laboratory can withstand a determined intruder, a routine security assessment becomes a battle of wards, wits, and unfamiliar Muggle technology. Neither seems particularly willing to concede that the other may actually be very good at what they do.

All the Young Dudes - Chapter 176 | Harry Potter Fanfiction
20 september 2026 · 13 min
I hope you enjoy this reading of All the Young Dudes by MsKingBean89. Lees meer
Author Summary: LONG fic charting the marauders' time at Hogwarts (and beyond) from Remus' PoV - diversion from canon in that Remus's father died and he was raised in a children's home, and is a bit rough around the edges. Otherwise canon-compliant.
1971 - 1995This IS a wolfstar fic, but incredibly slow burn. Literally years. Long build up but worth it I promise!

Before his third year at Hogwarts even begins, Harry is given three unsupervised weeks in Diagon Alley. A trip to Gringotts changes everything.Armed with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic—and manipulating far more than Harry ever realized—he quickly understands he can’t continue as he has been. There’s a vast world of lore, politics, and history to uncover, and the more Harry learns, the clearer his true place in the wizarding world becomes… even as Dumbledore’s twinkling eyes watch closely.
With help from unexpected allies, Harry begins a journey to end the war and reshape magical Britain. Many see James Potter when they look at him—but they’ve forgotten something important: he is Lily Evans’ son… and she was one hell of a witch.
