Thirteen Months

The Wizarding World has forgiven Snape, but Snape hasn’t forgiven the Wizarding World. And gardening.
That sums it up pretty nicely, I think.
I love this. Just a drabble, but the closing line is so very in-character.

The war is over and everyone wants something from Hermione. But that’s nothing new; she can handle it. Really.
My favourite Draco/Hermione story to date. Um, not that I’ve read very many (so far.)
I love the characterizations in this fic. Canonically, Hermione is chronically undervalued and taken for granted. And Draco would be the kind of house guest who shows up uninvited, makes himself at home, reads your mail, eats your food, messes up your apartment, and sees right through you to all your hopes and weaknesses.
“You don’t understand.”
“You? I understand you perfectly.”
He took a half-step forward. She wasn’t sure if she should get ready for a kiss or a slap.
Then he stopped.
“And I understand I’m hungry. You were so busy playing house with Potter last night—never thought that meant I wouldn’t get dinner, did you? I’m famished.” He plucked at his shirt.
Skin and bones, that’s what I am.”“Oh for—You’re going to have to learn to feed yourself, Draco.”
He looked genuinely surprised. “Why? I’ve got you.”
If only she had a door to slam.
Where the Magic Is

It’s time for some new recs after what has been, for me, a very long hiatus. This is the first time I’ve written a rec that I knew the author would eventually read; luckily, Argosy’s writing is so good I don’t have to worry about being tactful.
After Dumbledore’s death, Draco Malfoy vanished without a trace. Ten years later he may have re-emerged as a robber of Muggle banks. Can a bushy-haired gal from Magical Law Enforcement find happiness in the arms of a grey-eyed Master Criminal?
This is one of the stories with which Argosy has made me a DM/HG ’shipper. And Draco Malfoy makes the best bank robber ever.
