“Who are you?“ she slurred through her teeth when she finally stopped sobbing. She stared up at the man standing beside her.
A myriad of emotions suddenly flickered across his face. He opened his mouth, then shut it firmly and hesitated.
"I’m in charge of your care,” he finally said, his expression blank once more. He pulled a small bottle seemingly out of nowhere. “You should take this. You’ll probably be able to remember what happened when you wake next.”
Hermione hesitated at then nodded in acquiescence. He slid a hand under her neck and base of her skull and helped tilt her rigid body up so she could swallow it. As soon as she drank it, her exhaustion took hold of her fully, and she felt herself drifting off.
“Do I know you?” she asked as her eyes slid closed.
“I suppose you do.”

God knows how she managed to pull her lips from his.
Draco froze. He was barely catching his breath — he was breathing so hard that she couldn’t find appropriate words to describe it. He looked so good that she was ready to condemn herself to death. His hair was tousled with her hands and his lips were throbbing after her kisses… Beautiful. Dreadfully handsome.
"You’re trembling,” he whispered.
“Stop it! Don’t do this to us, Draco. You love me!”
He froze for a moment just to look into her eyes.
He hesitated while the thought was spinning in his head.
Yes, yes, yes, damn, yes, yes, yes…
And then she finished him off. She touched his lips with her fingers, drove them over his eyelids, cheeks and chin. She whispered softly.
“You love me as much as I love you”
“Come on, Granger, come on, kill me, kill me!” He cried and suddenly…
He heard these words. They burst and flew out of his mouth so dense, alive and real that he felt a hot wave of relief wash over him.
Tears streamed down her cheeks and he was sure that her lips lightly whispered sorry before the spell.
“No one and never, Granger.” He whispered so quietly that she could hardly hear him. “No one else and never.”
thank you so much@paulineflorenzi for creating this absolutely beautiful artwork for us!
i literally lost my breath when i saw them together sitting next to each other – so real. light, forms, colors, expressions… you’ve translated the atmosphere of the story just perfectly.
i commissioned this cover for @scullymurphy and her fanfic Bending Light, which gives me warm and shiny summer vibes each time i translate a new chapter from it.
i am not able to express my feelings, which are taking over me when i immerse myself into this italian atmosphere. bright smile crosses my features with each and every Draco’s stubborn thought, Theo’s devious phrase, Blaise’s joke and Lavender’s sinful smile. and Hermione… she is our light, which bends and makes us feel. thank you for this opportunity, for these emotions, and for the fact that despite being almost in the end of this stunning story – which (i won’t hesitate to mention) made me cry we-know-where-we-all-are-falling-dark – you are still close and this is what a story is about: it stays real through the times leaving footprints of its creator. i love you and those, whom you’ve created. and i really hope you will love these threetoo
Hermione looked in the girl’s beautiful blue eyes and her heart hollowed at how much curiosity lied in them. She held the same look Hermione did when she discovered magic: pure, unadulterated wonder. Gently, she put her hand on the little girl’s and she could feel the magic coursing through her. This little girl was magic and she hadn’t known. She was the epitome of everything that Hermione had fought for. The next muggle-born girl who found the wizarding world and regarded it so highly. She fought for her.
Hermione took a swig of her beer and looked away toward the door to the stairs—just as Draco walked through it.
Her fingers slackened on her beer and she almost dropped it. Shit. He stood in the doorway for a moment, looking around, and Hermione took in his tall form, clothed in dark jeans, a black t-shirt and his leather motorcycle jacket, his bright hair swept back from his forehead. She took a sharp breath in.
Why did he gave to be so fucking gorgeous?
Why couldn’t she put the blinders she’d worn for six years back on?
Experimentally, she stroked lightly at the back of his neck. His eyes instantly darkened and dropped to her mouth. She bit her lip, feeling a little surge thread through her. Theo bent his head to her ear and whispered, “you shouldn’t have done that.” The smile in his words combined with the lightest touch of his lips on Hermione’s ear, caused a throb in a distinctive part of her anatomy. She blew out a surprised breath. Draco who? He could hug as many tarts in bars as he wanted.
Malfoy’s other hand sweeps down to her lower back, pulling her closer yet, and she goes abruptly still.
“To answer your question from before,” he says, voice low as he begins to twirl her about in the dance’s final waltz, “no.”
“No what?” she breathes, limp in his grasp, forgetting all the steps. Her eyes flit to other couples as he leads, trying to see whether they’re being watched.
But Malfoy stops them short just then, dragging her close once more so she’s flush against him. It forces her breath to build at the top of her chest, and she stares up at him, lips parted, cheeks flaming, heart pounding.
“No — I don’t think we’ve done nearly enough to each other.”
I arrived late for the halloween party (as usual) but here’s something I’ve been looking forward to for weeks, one of my favorite bm/bs scenes from the talented @ , supposedly draco’s suit was supposed to be a bit wrecked and hermione would have had it little bells in the harlequin outfit, but let’s say I gave a glamorous ahahaha
Their piece was commissioned by follower on Instagram @shanxnoir for her story towers of silence.
it was fun and interesting to work with another range of brushes and again in the black and white palette, it adds a tension and drama that makes me want a warm blanket and hugs. her story is amazing and there is so much depth….please check out this beautiful work in development on ao3.
“If…” she breathes, her voice a pathetic whimper. “If you — if you hurt me, it’ll…hurt you too…”
That tongue traces its fangs again, eyes tightening like they’re zeroing in on a specific target. Her stomach. Her jugular. She can’t be sure.
-I dearly hope so. In fact, I long for it.-
A wash of cold spills through her, and the beast careens forward suddenly — a false lunge. Toying with her. When she gasps, that grin widens.
-Now run-“

a fanart of a story that has me OBSESSED UPDATING PAGE AO3 EVERY DAY IN HOPE FOR A NEW CHAPTER. I initially had another sketch going on, with the central idea of a cover, but I totally hated it and preferred to start over from scratch. honestly i’m completely in love with what came out, dont look back is a masterpiece i didn’t know i needed, congratulations @onyx-and-elm for the TALENT
another drawing coming straight from the dark side hahaha. I was reading one of @senlinyu’s amazing works and found myself looking forward to new chapters of a particular fanfic, let the dark in. while the update doesn’t come, this drawing is part of a delusion of mine that derailed like a train. I decided to make an image of a point in the story that hasn’t happened yet but I’m looking forward to seeing (assuming that there will be yule ball). and during all this i found out that my weak spot has a name and address and is called draco malfoy with a scar wearing durmstrang’s uniform. (Is it me or do you also think Hermione’s dress would be much prettier in blue?)
entering a minefield regarding this couple. I know, I know, therapy is necessary, but I can explain myself. when I’m not drawing I like to spend my time reading, I’ve read pile and pile of mlb fanfics and recently decided to re-read HP’s, and I’ve found, that I’m completely obsessed with them in a non-canon universe. draco is my pleasure and guilt character and i really love hermione. they have a jude and cardan vibe that fascinates me so here this one. a different job than I’ve done before, I wanted to do something in black and white and try out other types of brushes. and this looked like a good opportunity. please, if you don’t ship them, don’t share your hate and respect my mental instability, I’ll go into therapy at some point…maybe.

Malfoy’s hand is unforgiving against her own, squeezing hard enough that it aches. Hermione digs her nails in, knowing the sensitive expanse of his pale skin will be marked for hours.
A fair trade, considering the heavy diamond ring on her finger that feels like a shackle. Her hand and arm still tingle from the binding magic, and she can’t risk looking down at it. She knows if she does, she’ll remember the gold strand that wrapped around her skin, tying them together for the rest of their miserable lives.
