The Redemption of Draco Malfoy

Draco Malfoy is given a task by the Dark Lord: to gain the trust of one of Harry Potter's friends. The obvious choice is Hermione, and Draco begins to sow the seeds of friendship. Things do not go as he planned though, and soon he is caught up in an adventure with the very people he once called his enemies. Action, plot, romance, Quidditch, Hogwarts, other locations and a solid amount of snogging.

Draco attempts to gain Hermione's trust; Lucius sends a letter; a not-so-new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher; and shippy confrontations.

The Gryffindor Quidditch team hold their try-outs and Draco attempts to implement his plan outside the classroom

Draco and Hermione spend more time in the library; Ginny is more awkward around Harry than ever; Harry contemplates Voldemort's rise and tea with Lupin.

A trip to Hogsmeade; a Quidditch match; a heated argument and a fate sealed.

Quidditch practice, an argument, a walk around the lake, an awkward confrontation, a Slytherin Quidditch match, a nighttime encounter and a letter from Lucius.

Draco's time is up and he must now deliver Hermione. Will he be able to go through with it and, if so, what sinister fate awaits her in the hands of the Dark Lord?

Hermione wallows in the brutal aftermath of Draco's betrayal; Draco tries to make things right; Dumbledore and Lupin become suspicious; Harry is furious and argues with Draco; Ginny mopes and argues with Draco; and Ron comforts Hermione and...argues with Draco.

It's Christmas time at Hogwarts and sinister thing are in the mix: Ginny mopes...again, Draco broods...again, Hermione sulks...again, Ron consoles...again, and Voldemort seeks to rectify Draco's transgression.

Hermione has been kidnapped and it's up to Harry, Draco, Ron and Ginny to rescue her. Meanwhile, Dumbledore and Lupin are contemplating the death of the demon, Hermione is scared out of her mind, and Voldemort sends his ultimatum.

Our heroes (and anti-hero) find their way into Voldemort's castle in the woods. Someone is tortured, someone receives a nasty surprise and someone dies.

Draco is dead and Voldemort is still feeling murderous. Action ensues and Harry learns the answers to some long-held questions.

It's Quidditch Final time and the rivalry is as heated as ever. Also, Sirius and Lupin reminisce, a cat has Ginny's tongue, and it's time to leave Hogwarts.
