Summary
Sixteen years post-war, Draco Malfoy has reinvented himself: Head Auror of the French Ministry, internationally respected, hero-adjacent, and absolutely not still a security risk (depending on who you ask). So when Harry Potter lures him back to Britain with the promise of power, prestige and MILD public outrage, Draco's only question is: how bad could it possibly be?
Hermione Granger-Weasley is the Ministry's golden girl: war hero, legal prodigy, and the woman most likely to stabilise the government before her second cup of coffee. With Shacklebolt stepping down ahead of the November elections and two dangerously mediocre men circling the job like vultures, Hermione is the obvious - and reluctantly willing - successor. Backed by a few loyal allies, a lot of policy and a marriage that looks respectable (if you squint), she doesn't have time for distractions. Especially not in the form of Draco Malfoy: smug, silver-tongued, and recently hired into her orbit like a bad decision in expensive tailoring. Unfortunately he's infuriatingly competent. And even more unfortunately - he agrees with her.
OR how did Hermione Granger become Minister for Magic and how the fuck did Malfoy get roped into this deluded shit show.

Summary
Let her hear, if she was still in the sitting room. Let her know what she’d done with her voice alone.
The air was thick with steam and static and shame.
But he didn’t stop.
His mind conjured her again—how she’d looked tonight with that stubborn tilt to her chin, daring him to fight back. She wanted heat. She’d get it.
Lucius moved faster now. His free hand braced against the counter, his hips rolling just slightly into each stroke. His skin was flushed, damp. He didn’t try to stay silent. Let the acoustics carry it. Let the house feel it.
He thought he heard something outside the door—a gasp. Light. Quick.
—
After a failed sting operation, Lucius is placed into protective custody under the supervision of a vetted Ministry official. Hermione draws the short straw.

Summary
When a pandemic of Runespoor Fever sweeps through the wizarding world at the end of 2003, leaving a full quarter of its victims infertile, the International Confederation of Wizards takes drastic action. A marriage and reproductive law is enacted, throwing the wizarding world into upheaval.
Lightly inspired by the 1989 film The War of the Roses, (but without the animal death,) and our own recent pandemic.
She was wearing one of her neat, buttoned-up outfits as always; brown herringbone trousers and a silky cream blouse that covered her from throat to wrist, her hair braided around her head but not quite as neat as usual. He stopped several feet from her and frowned. “Why do you smell of smoke, Granger?”
“Does it really matter, Malfoy?” She skewered him with a glare, arms folding across her chest. “Perhaps I took up smoking.”
“And did you?”
She gave him an ‘are you mad?’ look. “No, I burnt down my office,” she said exasperatedly, as if it should’ve been obvious, and he tried to refrain from giving her an ‘are you mad?’ look in return.
