Summary
Murder in Hogsmeade! Draco read the headline, then the article, knowing that The Daily Prophet was mostly speculating on the death of the child. He had been the one to find the boy, had been the one to capture the supposed murderer. Draco had been in the right place at the right time, or maybe it was the wrong place, wrong time. Because of it, the dead boy, he is speaking to Granger again after over ten years. Draco Malfoy, father, head of the ancient Malfoy Apothecaries, still mourns his beloved wife. But suddenly, he hears Astoria's voice more, and she's telling him to endear himself, again, to Hermione Granger. Would something like a child's murder bring him something worth living for after his wife's death?

Summary
Truthfully Granger, you were right before. Us talking, it could be trouble..for, for both of us and I don't want...”
She nods. She smiles but it's not right. It's not the smile I want. It looks resigned. It looks wrong.
“Sure Theo. I get it, I will see you around.” She steps back and I can't let it end there so I say one more thing. One more stupid thing. One more thing that I can't bring myself to regret.
“Hey Granger, I would really like it if we could be…not friends.” I hope she understands what I am asking. I hope I don't look as desperate as I feel.
Her soft, secret, smile makes it all worth it. Her eyes, they are full of that mischief that only the people who truly know her would recognize.
“Yeah Theo, I would like that. Not friends.”
POV- First person for Theo, third for everyone else.
This story follows Theodore from 4th year- the end of the war. It will be HEA. If you love soft boy Cinnamon roll Theo turned badass “touch her and die” Theo, pining, protective Draco, and bamf Hermione, you will enjoy this fic. Slow burn.

Summary
I settle on the floor next to Drake, head on his shoulder.
“I can practically hear you thinking, love,” he murmurs the words into my hair.
“She would be safer without me,” I hate that my voice cracks at the admission.
He sighs, “I am not sure she will be safe regardless Theo, you know her, she won’t stand for the injustices of the Dark Lord’s regime. If we all survive this, it will be a miracle. Don’t be one more person in her life that promised to love her but didn’t do the job properly.”
OR
Theo, Hermione and Draco have found each other at last but can their relationship survive a war?
