After one such encounter with the renegade Order of the Phoenix, Draco finds himself shipwrecked on a deserted island with no one but a muggle girl to thank for saving him. Never one to engage with Muggles, Draco must adapt to the situation. But Hermione is not all that he first assumes and Draco soon becomes impressed with his Mudblood savior as she proves more than competent at surviving. Prompt suggested by Riddlesgurlforever.

Hermione Granger is running for Minister of Magic, and she thought it was going to be an easy win until Draco Malfoy decided to put his hat in the ring. Now, she not only has to deal with reporters and photographers following her every move, but she also has to deal with a stupid idiot named Draco Malfoy. She really, really hates him sometimes, and why in the world does he keep telling her that he loves her? This will be either the dream job of Hermione's life, or a complete nightmare. (Dramione)

Draco Malfoy stood in the lobby of a hotel and he heard a woman tell the desk clerk that her name was Granger. He once knew a girl named Granger. Could it be the same girl? Of course it is. What's more, he stole her room when she was late checking in. He might just give it back, and in the meantime, he might just give her his heart. (DRAMIONE)

The last time Draco Malfoy saw Hermione Granger, she was in the mud on the battlefield, close to death. He saved her, but he didn't do it for her. He did it for himself. He was still a selfish person, after all. Now she was sitting across from him and she wanted to repay the debt. He didn't need her to repay his 'kindness'. He didn't need anything from her. He only wanted her to leave him alone.

Sometimes, fate has other plans. It was as if he had a sudden awakening, and in the end, it turned out that even though he saved her life, she may have saved his soul.
