    Summary

    It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.

    This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.

    When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.

    How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?

    Summary

    Ten years after the war, Hermione Granger is a celebrated hero, a tireless political reformer–but behind closed doors, she's drowning in a Ministry that praises her with one breath and silences her with the next. She's brilliant, respected... and dangerously close to being done playing by their rules.

    Cleared of his war crimes and sharper than ever, Draco Malfoy didn't just survive the fallout–he seized it. The most feared name in Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld, he controls the flow of potions, secrets, and power. And now, he's being ordered to marry the Ministry's Golden Girl.

    Thrown into a marriage neither expected and neither intends to lose, Hermione and Draco must decide whether to rule from the shadows or burn the whole damn system down... together.

    He may be the King of Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld–

    but she is the Queen.

    And may the gods help anyone who disrespects the Queen.

    Summary

    Welcome to a somewhat serious inquiry into the whereabouts of a very sneaky witch.

    Hermione Granger (badass Auror working for MACUSA) has been summoned back to Britain by Kingsley Shacklebolt to help with an investigation. Of course, Hermione agrees; working with Harry again is going to be so much fun… only, it turns out that Harry is unavailable, and unfortunately, she gets stuck with Draco Malfoy.

    Warnings:
    - Hold onto your gold; there is a Niffler in this story.
    - Draco Malfoy reserves the right to cast Aguamentis at hair he deems offensive.
    - Whatever is said in the Cave of Plunderous Intent, stays in the Cave of Plunderous Intent.
    - Approach any wine provided by the Icelandic Legend Erla with extreme caution.

    Summary

    Nine years ago, Hermione Granger created a plan to become Minister of Magic by the time she turned 60. As part of that plan she knew she needed a husband and two children to convince the public to support her.

    She is now approaching her thirty-fourth birthday and is still single, though not for lack of trying. She's questioning her dating methodology as friends grow distant, her parents age, her fertile years are peaking, and the professional goals she created at twenty-five are starting to become harder to cling to. She knows she needs something to change, but that's easier said than done when Draco Malfoy won't leave her the fuck alone.

    As for Draco, there's nothing quite as alluring as an angry Hermione Granger, and that's why he's been teasing her for the last ten years. It's only when he comes up with his best idea yet - and gets himself assigned as her security detail for an event that absolutely does not require it - that he starts to peel back the layers and sees her for who she really is. She's more than just a beautiful witch with a fierce temper. She's flawed, lonely, and starting to burn out.

    Draco knows he can help. He just needs to her to say yes first.
