Summary
Published in 1862 by Lady Apollonia Nott, Courting Customs Most Sacred is the comprehensive text for any pureblood family seeking to arrange suitable matches for their children. It’s also patently ridiculous and not at all appropriate for the modern era of dating. It is certainly not how one should woo Hermione Granger, at any rate.

Summary
Hermione crept inside the library at Malfoy Manor as quietly as possible. It was as good a place as any to catch her metaphorical breath, before she had to plaster on a fake smile and rejoin the ball to keep up appearances. Maybe she could find that book on the origins of arithmancy Draco mentioned the last time they were here? Hermione doubted she’d be back at the Manor any time soon. If ever. Not after tonight.
Making her way to her favourite spot in the back corner, Hermione was taken aback to discover Draco collapsed in one of the wing-backed chairs; wearily rubbing his eyes with one hand, as the other gripped an empty glass tightly. Notes of firewhisky lingered in the air.
He hadn’t noticed her.
Recovering from her surprise as best she could, Hermione deliberately kept her voice light. “Malfoy? Why on Earth are you hiding in the library? This is your Engagement Ball. Shouldn’t you be out there accepting fawning praise from Sacred Twenty-Eight luminaries for doing your part in keeping the Malfoy family tree as devoid of branches as possible?”

Summary
Every year, Draco insists that Hermione take a picture for their Christmas card. Why? Hell if she knows, but if it will make him happy, so be it.

Summary
It’s no secret that Draco Malfoy is happiest when all attention is on him.
He’s been like this since they were at least eleven, but Hermione speculates that he was like this even before then. Between her Bombarda and Draco’s Confringo, an unbidden image of a newborn with tufts of silver-blond hair flexing chubby hands to garner recognition disrupts her (objectively more pressing) thoughts.
Draco’s proclivity for attention-seeking is what lands them here, thinks Hermione, in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, dueling marauding wizards sans back-up.
[In which Hermione writes off Draco’s attempts to impress her as attention-seeking endeavors, leading Draco to pursue ludicrous ventures to win her heart — including by convincing her that he is such a fantastic Auror that they can handle a ship full of pirates on their own. A summary of their working relationship to this point.]
