Summary
“Here!” Blaise’s eyes were travelling down the bottom of the page. “Says that the drinkers will forfeit the potion’s bond if both are either married or in love with the right person by the time they are thirty.”
Thirty… that was years away.
“But it’s just a load of bollocks mate, we don’t know what type of potion we actually made here. Chances are we didn’t even make it right - we just need to forget about it.”
Theo gave him a look, but then decided that his friend was probably right.
Yes.
Forget all about it.
That should be fucking simple.
Shouldn’t it?

Summary
Hermione Granger loses a bet she never agreed to.
One disastrous night inside London’s most exclusive magical casino should ruin her life. Instead, it introduces her to the House of Serpents — an empire built on velvet, vice, political corruption, and the terrifyingly devoted men who rule it.
Draco Malfoy is cold, violent, and impossible to escape once his attention lands on something.
Theodore Nott is charming enough to make danger feel safe.
Together, they are the House’s sharpest teeth.
Hermione should hate them.
Instead, she finds herself drawn deeper into their glittering world of gala dinners, whispered deals, old-money power, and sins wrapped in silk. As her friendships shift, her ambitions grow sharper, and the wizarding world watches her with increasing fascination, Hermione begins to realize something deeply dangerous:
The monsters never asked her to become smaller.
And she may no longer want saving at all.

Summary
None of them were fine.
Not when the Harry still woke almost every night from nightmares of the war. Watching himself in his subconscious be hit with a green curse and his lifeless body on the ground in the forbidden forest.
Not when Ron was still mourning the loss of his older brother and trying to hold himself and his family together while George continued to shut himself out from the outside world.
Not when Hermione herself was guilt ridden with the thought of never being able to see her parents again. Or the fact that she still hadn’t fully recovered from the curse that Rodolphus had hit her with during the final moments of the battle that had her recovering in St Mungo’s for three weeks after.
Or even when she remembered the way that Malfoy had looked at her as she cursed him for the rest of his life.

Summary
In the wake of the second wizarding war, the Ministry of Magic enacts a marriage law to help with the repopulation efforts. To everyone's surprise, the reclusive war-heroine Hermione Granger is matched with Draco Malfoy, an ex-death eater recently released from Azkaban.
Bound to a legally-mandated timeline—cohabitation, consummation, conception—every intimate milestone of their relationship is dictated by the Ministry. Will they find a way out of this nightmarish arrangement? Will they somehow make it work even despite their history? Or will the past tear everything apart before they get the chance?
The war left everyone scarred, but some scars are less visible than others.
Or:
Hermione is traumatized and barely holding it together. Draco is depressed and drowning himself in guilt. Neither of them are stable enough for this, but neither of them have a choice.
A slow-burn Dramione marriage law fic with heavy angst, secrecy, and trauma, but also trust, recovery, and redemption.
