Summary
A gritty, passionate reimagining of Pretty Woman in the Wizarding World. Slow burn, shameless flirting, bruised hearts, fierce devotion, and a Sirius Black who will tear the world apart to keep Hermione safe.
Hermione Granger has been missing since the war. Letters to Harry proved she was alive, but no one knew where she was… or what she had become. Broken by loss and circumstance, she wears another name, another smile, and sells herself to survive.
When Sirius Black discovers the truth on a drunken lads’ night, he refuses to leave her in the dark. With one reckless choice — a week bought and paid for — he drags her out of the life she’s built and into his world, determined to remind her who she really is.
But Hermione isn’t the only one who needs saving. Sirius has been running, too — from guilt, from ghosts, from the wreckage of his own life. What begins as an arrangement becomes something far more dangerous: a love that heals, a love that burns, a love that refuses to let go.

Summary
A story told in reverse, about how Sirius really ought to pay more attention to family artefacts, and rein in his impulse to act purely out of spite toward his dead mother. Still, at least everyone enjoys themselves (except poor Mr. Granger).

Summary
"I've had three days to think about our situation," Draco continued, "Three days of nothing but my own thoughts and your labored breathing for company. And you know what I've realized?"
He turned to face her, his expression had a fierce intensity to it that made Hermione's breath catch in her throat.
"We can't go back to the way we were before," he said, each word deliberate and heavy with meaning. "It's just us here, Granger. We're all we know in this... Everything we knew, everyone we loved - they're gone. It's just us. You and me. We're all we have."

Summary
Draco Malfoy has never been redeemed. He’s simply been patient.
Hermione Granger ruined his chances of being the top of their class, outshone him at every turn, and then—like the perfect, insufferable angel she was—saved his family from Azkaban. She was a Mudblood, and she was better than him. That contradiction marked him forever.
For the past seven years, he has played the long game. He became respectable in her eyes, carved out a role for himself at the DMLE, and slowly, carefully, made himself indispensable. He became her confidant, her best friend. He cultivated every part of their friendship—curated what she needed, what she liked, what she deserved.
Because Hermione is exceptional. She’s brilliant, sharp, devastatingly capable. And no one around her—not her fiancé, not her friends—ever made her feel like she was more than a burden to forgive or a standard to resent.
Draco doesn’t just see her. He feeds the pride she’s always been told to swallow. And he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her into the world where she belongs—his world.
Because she deserves better.
And she deserves him.
