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.

Summary
It's eight years after the war and Hermione Granger has taken a break from her career at the Ministry of Magic to compile an oral history of the conflict. She's interviewed just about everyone she can get her hands on but she wants to be thorough. And that means getting in contact with a very unwilling Lucius Malfoy.

"For your information, I'm not shopping it around yet because I still don’t have access to all of the sources I need.”
“You’ve got to be joking. You must have interviewed every living person that was even tangentially connected to the war.”
“Not everyone,” Hermione said, turning in her seat to reach up for the mug of tea she’d left on the kitchen counter.
“Who’s left? The trolley lady from the Hogwarts Express?”
“Your father.”
Malfoy opened his mouth and then closed it again with a click of his teeth, shaking his head. “You don’t want to do that, Granger.”

Summary
Deputy Head of Magical Law Enforcement, Hermione Granger, is up to something in the second floor stationery cupboard and Lucius Malfoy is determined to find out what it is.
_ _ _ _ _
“His sharp grey eyes run down the doors on either side of the corridor until they land on one that doesn’t have a glass pane. A stationery cupboard. Hand coming up to hover near his wand, he approaches the door with most of his weight on the front half of his feet and, keeping his breathing slow and quiet, leans his ear against it.
The noise again. A gentle, whimpering noise. Breath catching.
That’s not pain. Lucius Malfoy knows the sound of pain. That’s…”

Summary
Hermione Granger is Minister for Magic and Lucius Malfoy enjoys nothing more than proximity to power. Anticipating rough political seas he makes her an offer he thinks she would be foolish to refuse. Hermione thinks she would be foolish to accept. Let the power plays commence.
