Ungentlemanly Behavior

After a tipsy hook up, Draco Malfoy has an apology to make.

Hermione Granger would prefer not to hear it.

But when they're forced to work together on a tricky translation, she's finds she can't avoid it.

‘Want to make this interesting, Granger?’ Draco said.

His voice was low and dangerous and sent a delightful shiver down Hermione’s spine. She forced herself to focus on his words, not how he was saying them.

‘What do you mean?’ Hermione asked warily, not dropping her wand.

‘Winner gets a favour granted by the loser.’

Hermione scoffed. ‘I’m not giving you carte blanche like that, Malfoy.’

Draco watched her with his trademark cunning behind his silver eyes. ‘Alright then. How about a kiss?’

Granger will do almost anything to survive the curse slowly killing her, even if it means reawakening magic that has been dormant for a thousand years.

Draco will do whatever it takes to save her.

“Draco...” she says again, fingertips fondly brushing across his cheekbone. He opens his eyes and finds her staring at him. “Before I do this, I want you to know—“

His heart lurches.

“Don’t,” he says before she can say another word. “Don’t say it.”

He catches her wrist and pulls her hand away from his face, careful not to smudge any of the words scripted across her skin. “I don’t want you to tell me.”

“Because,” Draco dragged the table away and shoved it against a nearby bookshelf before looking back and smirking at her, “I want to see all of you — “ his eyes trailed down her body, “ — when you lose.”

One of Hermione Granger’s favorite things about playing in an orchestra was when the orchestra began to warm up on stage. The breath of life that consumed the concert hall was magical in the way words couldn’t capture. She loved the way the silence lifted like a thousand feathers into the air, replaced by warmth and anticipation from the audience and the players on stage. Looking from her principal chair in the first violin section gave her a magnificent view of the audience and their bated breath. The way she could catch glances as she was preparing for the next movement of a piece always made her grin.

Tonight, however, was a different story.

This was the concert with the guest pianist, and artist in residence, and she was almost desperate enough to feign sickness to avoid having to be on a stage with him. The London Philharmonic and guest pianist, Draco Malfoy, were performing Ralph Von Williams’s Rhosemedre , Chopin’s Piano Concerto no.1 ,  Elgar’s Elegy, and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto no.5 .

The program was beautiful but she halted at the fact she would have to sit on a stage and perform music with him. They would be making something together. But all she could think about was the way his fingers caressed the piano keys, and the fact her body knew what it felt like to be touched by those same fingers.

A fic and art collab by @aneiria-writes and @hiyasdoodles

@ernestine88​ created this beautiful piece for our dramione author-artist collab for a little one shot I wrote of our favorite pair as professional dueling partners for the #MFFest! 

Story excerpt from Unyielding: 

Harry once remarked, in an oddly astute comment, that Draco and she didn’t really seem to be dueling at all, but almost dancing, despite the physical distance during a duel. Certainly, there were dancer-like qualities to their graceful movements; sharp turns and quick jumps, short-range pops of apparition, pointed swishes of their wands or circular motions that either manipulated or conjured the magic in their veins. Complementary moves and countermoves as curses were either cast or deflected.

Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy both have their personal reasons for studying Alchemy, but when they decide to work together to develop a new Panacea, they discover more than they bargained for.
