slow romance

To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?

Most people rekindled friendships with people from high school over Facebook or Twitter. Most people met for coffee, shared pictures of their bratty children, and sent old friends Christmas letters once a year. Marinette was clearly not most people as she had somehow hooked up with her former high school crush on a bondage dating website and didn't know it until he was standing in front of her with an identical look of bemused embarrassment plastered all over his pretty face.

Many sinners will tell you just how frightening the King of Hell truly is. From the way he holds himself up in battle to the way he loves his daughter and wife. That's what the public said, anyway. He had to make Charlie happy. He had to, there was no other way about it. She was in fact his everything. He couldn't risk losing her again. Even if risking revealing the worst parts of himself to an unexpected, annoying, self-centered, certain Overlord.

"It's time Hinata, no more waiting." Hiashi orders and she withers under his stare, knows her time is up. Though she's known about this day for years, she'd been wishing, hoping he would change his mind and not give into one of Konoha's oldest and cruel traditions.

“Please, I beg you Granger. Do not start preaching your Gryffindor propaganda. Love does not fix everything.” “I never said it would fix anything. I just mean that it pushes people to act when they otherwise may not. You see reason, Malfoy. You know that the old ways are wrong. But love could push you to actually want change.” “I desire change without your childish sentiments.” “Will you fight for it though?” Hermione was never one to admit when she was wrong. Every ounce of dark magic spent, and she still didn’t quite regret it. The ache in her bones, in her heart. It wasn’t enough to regret the outcome of this war. She is alive. Those that she loves are alive. That’s all that mattered. Right? All Hermione wishes for in her eighth year at Hogwarts is to overcome the residuals of the war. Make amends with her classmates. Find the love she once shared with her friends. All she wishes is for things to return to how they once were. All Draco wants is to find normalcy in the aftermath of some of his greatest mistakes. All he wants is for someone to see his choices as what they truly were. A ploy to keep his friends, his family alive. He desires peace.

The Soulmate Slingshot, an incredibly rare, apparently global phenomenon that occurs only on February 14th, is described as an unseen force that seizes an individual before launching them towards their soulmate without warning. Some find the idea thrilling and pray that it happens to them in their lifetime, while others dread the very real possibility of being hurled across continents. Either way, the chance to meet your soulmate is undeniably alluring, and the Universe seems kind enough to make sure that no one gets (seriously) injured upon arrival. But as Jimin lies in a heap at the altar of a packed venue with Yoongi, the literal groom, groaning beneath him, he isn't so sure about this soulmate business anymore.
