    Summary

    The air in the kitchen was rich with the scent of baking.
    He reached around her, chest warm against her back, and set the serving spoon on the counter. For a moment they lingered there—her whisking, him solid and present. The cream was smooth and pale, catching the afternoon light.
    “Perfect timing on the cake,” he murmured, lips brushing the shell of her ear.
    “Is it? I feel like I just… began,” she admitted with a laugh. “But it smells right.”
    “When you’re busy up here”—he tapped lightly at her temple—“time doesn’t stand a chance.”
    She arched an eyebrow, fighting back a smile. “If focus could bend temporal mechanics, arithmancers would be immortal.”
    “Only the clever ones who survive the paradox cascade. You’d navigate it flawlessly, of course.”
    The cream had formed perfect peaks, but Hermione barely noticed. Her whisk hovered mid-air, eyes wide. Something hot and electric shot through her chest as his words sank in.
    “Who are you?” she whispered in awe. The timer chimed then, mellow and silver, harmonizing with the wind chimes.

    Summary

    Hermione is on track to become the youngest Minister for Magic—until she finds herself in a hotel room with a dead man. When she uses a blank protean-charmed card she’s been told would covertly solve any issue, 'fixer' Draco is suddenly the solution to all of her problems.

    Summary

    “I wanted dinner. With someone who wouldn’t— who doesn’t—”
    “Talk?” he offered.
    She huffed a laugh. “Think. Much. Loudly. In my vicinity.”
    A pause, wry and weightless. “I can be remarkably stupid on request.”

    Hermione Granger’s latest experiment in the Department of Mysteries goes, technically speaking, catastrophically tits-up. The result? She can suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts. It’s a nightmare.
    Except Draco Malfoy’s.
    Around him, the world goes silent — blissfully, impossibly silent.
    So she clings to him for relief; he pretends he’s not quietly losing his mind over her; the Brains in jars judge them both; and feelings start happening without anyone’s permission.
    Magical neuroscience, catastrophic intimacy, and one very besotted Auror who never stood a chance.

    Summary

    “I’m in love with her.”

    Nothing else. Just that. The words fall out of his mouth and hover there like the world’s least convenient Bludger. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud. It feels… odd. Heavy. Possibly terminal. He braces for questions, or judgement, or maybe an intervention.

    What he gets instead is the not-at-all subtle sound of coins changing hands. Theo passes a handful of Galleons to Blaise.

    “I told you,” Blaise murmurs, smug as sin.

    ••••

    Draco Malfoy is no hero; just the Ministry’s unpaid consultant with a talent for sarcasm and survival. He plans to endure cursed artefacts and bad coffee in silence… until he starts noticing Hermione Granger. Flat shoes, sharper wit, and the kind of competence that makes even Malfoys pay attention.

    He doesn’t speak to her. He just observes. Catalogues. Falls quietly, disastrously in love.
