Summary
In the summers between school, a young Hermione Granger finds companionship in a mysterious young wizard near her family’s country home in Wiltshire. They share their troubles under the comfort of their respective anonymity until one fateful encounter destroys their fragile refuge from the real world.
Years later, after a war that devastated Wizarding Europe, Hermione’s one wish is to pursue higher education for her Potions Mastery. Only, one clause leftover from deeply entrenched Muggle-born prejudice sends Hermione into the grueling social season with one goal in mind; to marry the least terrible eligible wizard.
To her misfortune, a scandalous case of mistaken identity binds her future to a man who is certain to be the worst of all. Draco Malfoy; the new Duke of Wiltshire, a war hero, and the boy who broke her heart.

Summary
Hermione makes a Freudian slip. Lucius’s slip, on the other hand, is quite intentional.
Relations devolve, evolve, and mutate from there.
Featuring star ingredients: A frustrated (in more ways than one) Hermione Granger who is tackling the demands of being the head of the DRCMC while trying to pass meaningful creature reforms. A bored (and, perhaps, ever so slightly unhinged) Wizengamot Liaison Lucius Malfoy who decides that teasing, tormenting, and obstructing Hermione Granger is his new calling in life.

Summary
Draco Malfoy, consumed by loneliness and the death of his mother, fades away slowly without much notice to the wizarding world. That is, until a owl arrives declaring his arranged marriage to Hermione Jean Granger. Hermione arrives at the manor, eager to escape the whispers and constant harassment from the Daily Prophet, while Draco feels he is doomed to spend the rest of his life hated by the world. The two must be married for one year before they can file for a divorce. But with a disdain for each other as deep as theirs, they feel it will be a very long year.
For who could ever learn to love a beast?
