Draco was always so pale. In his customary black robes, and with his blinding white hair, Hermione had always thought he looked rather washed-out.
Which was why she couldn’t stop staring now; as if the colour of his cheek as he waited for her reply was vivid red, rather than faint pink.
He waited not so patiently, shifting on his feet.
"Yes," Hermione said finally. "I would love to go out with you."
He smiled, widely; his pink lips stretching out and softening his face handsomely.
Hermione touched his arm gently, and smiled back as his cheeks darkened in reaction

“Are you going back to the Weasel?!” Draco shouted.
“What? No, why would you even think that?”
“Oh, good,” he sighed in relief. “If you thought the Weasel was better than me -”
“What in the name of Merlin are you talking about?” Hermione interrupted.
“You no longer want to have sex!” He flailed his arms in exasperation.
“Just right now!” She stomped her foot.
“Was the first time that bad?”
“It was only two days ago!”
“Exactly! You were hinting about it all yesterday. Why aren’t we shagging?”
“Because I’m on my period, Draco!” Hermione huffed and stormed away.
“Oh.”

"Hermione, I've figured out Scorpius' affliction! You were too chummy with Potty and Weaselbee during school. You probably contracted a disease at the Burrow that affected our future offspring."
"That's ridiculous. My friendship with the Weasleys hasn't harmed Scorpius."
"Then explain his deformity!"
"He's not deformed, Draco! He has your nose, my eyes…"
"But whose hair? Why is he ginger?"
"Both of your grandmothers had red hair. My father, too."
"So?"
"Don't you know what genetics are?"
"Jen-Ticks? Ewww, does that mean our son has parasites?"
"Oh, Draco. You're so pretty, but I fervently hope Scorpius has inherited my intellect."

"What did I do wrong? The light was red."
Hermione took a deep breath to calm her racing heart.
"Red means 'stop', Draco. Green means 'go'."
Scowling, Draco glanced at the blues and twos of the police car in his mirror. "Then why the hell did they put the 'stop' colour at the top of the traffic light? That makes no bloody sense! The one on top always gets priority!"
Hermione slipped a hand between his legs. "I'll remember you said that later... in bed."
Draco flashed a naughty grin. "I think red has just become my new favourite colour."

Warnings: Hints of sexy times on the horizon
It began as a joke, because Granger dressed like an undertaker.
He owled her red lipstick. When she wore it the next day, he realized how tempting her lips were.
He owled her red high heels. When she wore them the next day, he realized how gorgeous her legs were.
Feeling bold, he owled her red lingerie. Delectable, silk knickers and a lacy bra.
The next day, Granger entered the Ministry in a black suit, her gaze revealing nothing. However, when she flashed Draco a smile and a hint of red lace, he knew this was no longer a joke.

Title: Pocket Square
Rating: K+ or General
Warnings: None
Hermione assumes that Draco Malfoy probably has a fashion consultant hidden in his wardrobe. He had just walked in and people are already fawning over him.
She doesn't make it a point to interact with him in office parties. She's about to walk away from the crowd when he turns around to face her.
Draco hesitates for a bit then smiles at her. His eyes meet hers.
She looks down to appreciate his sleek black modified wizard’s robes and notices the pocket square near his heart.
Hermione blushes because it's the exact shade of red as the lipstick she's wearing.

It was everywhere. Flowers, chocolate boxes, food. Everything was red.
Hermione had nothing against the color. But, since she was newly single, it hurt to see the items that were being sold for the Hallmark holiday.
But, it didn't hurt that she was without him. It hurt that she was alone.
"Hermione!"
She turned to look at her co-worker, Draco Malfoy, as he grabbed some raspberry chocolates.
"What, Draco?"
"Will you come to dinner with me?"
"Sure," she smiled.
Maybe she was mistaken. She wasn't going be all alone.
"Do you like red?"
She just laughed. Maybe she did now.

She's wearing that damn red lipstick again.
You know the one. The one that reminds you of Her.
The bold, bright, fire-engine red lipstick that accentuates the curves of Her lush mouth and compliments Her creamy, ivory skin.
The one that makes Her deliciously enticing lips even more juicy and moist; like passion, sin, and sex incarnate.
The one that reminds you of scarlet kisses staining your shirt collars and burning your skin; marking you as Hers.
You love Astoria dearly, but when she wears that damn lipstick, you can't help but miss those red, red lips of Hermione Granger.

Watching her was always a guilty pleasure.
Tonight, at the Ministry Ball, she was wearing red - slinky robes covered in glossy sequins - and she’d painted her pouting lips to match.
He followed her out onto the terrace, a familiar heat stirring his loins.
She was leaning over the balustrade, her supple curves sheathed in shiny scales. Her hand was near her mouth, and something was glowing red between her fingers...
Merlin, he thought, she’s a dragon-woman!
“Why d’you have to lurk, Malfoy?” she asked, wearily. “Here,” - she straightened up, turned, held out a small, rectangular packet - “d’you want a cigarette?”

Warnings: infidelity
She thought they would have the most romantic night out. He was supposed to be home from work at six, but she decided to surprise him early.
She opened his office door with a bright smile on her face, only to find him buggering the newest assistant.
Hermione saw red. Her wand was instantly pointed at his heart. “Draco Malfoy! How could you do this to me?” Spell light traveled through the air, knocking both conspirators onto the floor, his stunned face priceless had she not been so furious.
She left plotting revenge. Crucio would be too good for him.

Draco had to smile as he came through the Floo of his girlfriend’s flat. He could see right through the doorway into the study where Hermione was kneeling on the floor, her delectable arse up in the air as she went through the pile of papers in front of her. Draco had never really approved of her wearing that particular red dress in public. It caressed her body in a way no men were allowed to see, and accentuated every luscious curve.
He wasn’t going to let her go out dressed like that, such view was only his to enjoy.

“No. Draco. Please don’t die!”
Tears fell down her cheeks as her hands pressed into the red of his chest. He had been fine a moment ago. Now, he was lying unconscious on the floor of the Ministry, covered in blood.
It was a surprise when Draco suddenly looked up at her and winked. “Get it?” He smirked proudly. “The Valentine’s Day Massacre?”
“What?” Hermione blinked. “What? Why you no-good, slimy, lying git--"
“Poor Sod.” Seamus shook his head as he watched Hermione beat Draco repeatedly with a roll of parchment. “He only wanted to show her that he listened.”
