    Summary

    It's eight years post-war, and Hermione Granger has got her shit together. She worked hard to get past her trauma from the war. She finished her education. Now, she heads up her own division of the Department of Mysteries, she travels the world studying ancient rituals, and she's got a perfectly balanced life that is absolutely going to stay that way, thank you very much.

    Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy has made a new life for himself in France. He, too, has worked through his war trauma, finished his education, and built himself a fulfilling career. His life doesn't need to be shaken up by a series of international murders that just so happens to bring him home to England and force him to collaborate with the girl he tormented for the entirety of their school years.

    Now, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are chasing a ritualistic killer and simultaneously discovering that the person they are working with is not the same as the one they used to know.

    Featuring (mostly) emotionally healthy characters, meddling friends, long conversations, and smutty sandwich-making, with a side of murder and a sprinkling of snark.

    Summary

    “And the opponent, weighing in at 93 kilograms, this cold blooded killer was trained in the trenches of war. The Death Eater himself… Draco Malfoy!”

    The syllables in his name stretched out beyond Hermione’s comprehension as an overwhelming roar of boos ripped through the crowd. Hermione’s vision swirled as she tried to make sense of what she saw.

    Who she saw.

    ***

    Summary

    NOW COMPLETE! :)

    Bored with Ministry work and a lackluster love life, Hermione Granger decides it's time for a change. She applies and is admitted into the top magic graduate school in Europe, but arrives to find (to her surprise and dismay) that her childhood bully, Draco Malfoy, has been accepted into the same program. They are both looking for a fresh start, but what if all they end up finding is each other?

    From Chapter 13:

    She watched his eyes turn molten as they roved over her. Then the hand holding her wrist loosened and he slid it all the way down the length of her arm before enclosing it around the back of her neck. She arched instinctively as goosebumps raced over the surface of her body.

    He exhaled through his nose.

    His eyes met hers and they were full of desire, and longing.

    “Malfoy,” she said softly. “Be good.”

    Summary

    Seven years after the war, a single night with Draco Malfoy upends Hermione Granger’s life. When her unplanned pregnancy is classified as protected under the Ministry’s new population laws, her choice is stripped away. What begins as forced proximity becomes shared grief, quiet defiance and an uneasy alliance against a system that values lineage over consent.

    Summary

    “Honestly, Malfoy, must you always be so utterly theatrical?”

    “Darling, if I’m not theatrical, how else will people know I’m still the most fascinating person in the room? Now, hold this quill properly.”

    The Ministry’s disastrous new "Marriage Mandate" has left Hermione Granger cornered and thoroughly disgruntled. While her friends find their happy endings, she is faced with a choice between a loveless political match and the increasingly desperate, utterly brilliant proposal from Draco Malfoy. He offers his powerful name, galleons, deep knowledge about the Wizarding World, a way to take down Ministry prejudice, and his friendship, provided she becomes his wife. They strike a deal, but sharing a life together (while figuring things out) proves complicated. Or is it?
