Harry Potter: Divine Punishment

I heard breaking up the canon couple gets you punished by heaven?

Draco and Hermione, following canon, complete, no original characters or settings added. The story keeps Ron and Hermione's relationship at the start and is told from both perspectives.

Although it's necessary for the plot, this may not go over well with Ron/Hermione shippers, so read with caution! Some content, in keeping with Jinjiang rules, stays above the neck.

Heaven was so merciful. After all the wrong things he'd done, it still allowed him to survive the cruel war by the skin of his teeth--

And even bestowed this "heavenly punishment" upon him out of kindness.

It gave him a chance to approach and get to know this girl he'd always looked down on, to rediscover his soul amid fear and confusion, and to reclaim his faith and principles.

It was called a punishment from heaven, but in truth it was salvation.

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

And so Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger, two strangers who seemed destined never to cross paths again, found a new story in another possibility, in a parallel world.

Why couldn't it happen? Don't forget, Slytherin and Gryffindor were once the best of "friends."

And the story of him and her would begin with that word, and continue from there.
