    Hermione Granger's Rules for Growing Things by

    Summary

    Hermione Granger is stationed at a remote site in the Scottish north, continuing her classified Ministry work brewing counteragents to dark magic. The solitude suits her and the secrecy suits the research. The only complication is Draco Malfoy.

    He serves as her field security - a Hit Wizard on probation who says little, gives less away, and refuses to make interpretation convenient. He is nothing like the boy she remembers, and everything like a man determined to keep his distance.

    Their arrangement should be straightforward: she works on her potions; he fortifies her wards. But something strange starts to take root, and it’s not just the herbs in her greenhouse.

    If you’re looking for a story driven by plot or high-stakes action, you won’t find it here. This is a character study of a young Hermione Granger learning how to navigate adulthood, ambition, and the slow, bewildering business of falling for a man who isn’t who he used to be.

    Summary

    “Leave it, Granger.” He pins me with a look that says that’s the end of this conversation.
    I hear the common room door open but don’t look to see if it’s Harry or Malfoy that has walked in.
    I take stock of the ingredients I can still see on the table as he rushes to pick them all up.
    Honeywater, Valerian Roots, Rose petals, Dittany Leaves.

    “Theo, why are you brewing a blood replenishing potion?”
    _
    Or the one where Draco Malfoy was turned into a Vampire at some point during the war and he and Theo are hiding his new status when they come back for their 8th year.
