Summary
Lucius Malfoy wants something from Hermione Granger. She wants to find out how far he's willing to go to get it.
_____
"His eyes were mistrustful and such a sharp, cold grey that, as they ran down her body, they left a strange tingling in their wake. Hermione felt like he was attempting to unpick the very threads of her.
Perhaps he managed it because, within seconds, Hermione saw it – a troubling flash of comprehension. Recognition that a move was being made against him.
That he was being challenged.
It was at that moment that Hermione experienced the unpleasant, stomach-twisting realisation that, while her wine had emboldened her, it had also, perhaps, impaired her judgement. Because, as much as Lucius Malfoy disliked getting his hands dirty, she strongly suspected that he loved a challenge."

Summary
When Quirrell abruptly quits his post as professor of Muggle Studies, teaching apprentice Hermione Granger volunteers to replace him. Unhappy with some of Dumbledore’s recent appointments, the board of governors volunteers Lucius Malfoy to assess Hermione’s teaching for a term in order to determine if she’s the right fit for the job. Neither of them is happy about it.
Or: a very petty pair make the students of Hogwarts look like mature adults. No Voldemort AU.

Summary
At first, Lucius watches her because he wants to be sure that she’s careful. That she’s gentle. That she displays an appropriate reverence towards that which is his.
Then he watches her because she does exactly that.

Summary
As the dust settles in the years after the war, the young people of the wizarding world decide that wild parties, endless drinking and shocking behaviour are the best way to grieve the years they have lost to fighting.
Turning his family manor into a bacchanalian getaway is Draco Malfoy’s way of making amends to his former classmates and, this year, he wants to have a party every night of the twelve days of Christmas.
Hermione Granger has never really been one for wild parties and Lucius Malfoy finds that, these days, he doesn’t get a lot of invites.
