Summary
Some wars are fought with spells. Others with whispered truths — and the undoing of everything once held sacred.
Amid intellectual wars raged in classrooms, grand galas and perilous trials, Hermione and Lucius find themselves caught in a chaos neither could have foreseen — a chaos that brings the slow unraveling of everything they thought they believed.
Or
An aristocratic Pureblood and a fierce Muggleborn redefine the terms of drama, sass — and eventually desire. All much to Severus’ dismay.

Summary
After Narcissa's death and Draco’s capture during the war, Lucius Malfoy spirals into darkness, lost without purpose or family. The Ministry offers him one chance at redemption—and Draco’s freedom—in exchange for his cooperation in recovering dangerous dark artifacts hidden in both the wizarding and Muggle worlds. Assigned as his handler, Hermione Granger faces the daunting task of guiding Lucius toward the light, but as his inner darkness deepens, she must decide if she can keep him anchored—or risk being pulled into his despair herself.
Dark AU with lots of blackmail, action, sarcasm and emotional manipulation

Summary
Nine years after the war, Lucius Malfoy is a ghost draped in fine robes, recently released from Azkaban to the ruins of his life: an empty ancestral home, a wand that resists him, and no one left to call family. He expects only to fade into obscurity.
Until a Thursday morning brings a sight he cannot forget.
Two children. Malfoy hair. Malfoy eyes. Malfoy poise.
And with them — Hermione Granger. No longer the Golden Girl, but a celebrated scientist… and unmistakably a mother. Her return to Britain stirs old grudges, older secrets, and something far more dangerous: a pull neither of them expected. Between them lies a truth that could shatter everything Lucius thought he knew about blood, legacy, and the possibility of love.

Summary
Hermione Granger has three secrets she keeps close to her chest.
One, she’s on the verge of failing all her classes.
Two, she can’t stop taking her use-only-when-needed anti-anxiety medication.
And three, she’s an Omega.
What isn’t a secret is her love for Borgin & Burkes, the coffeeshop right across the street from her apartment. Unfortunately for her, they just hired a new barista.

She has not.
He cannot bring himself to blame her.
