    Summary

    Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world is what you might call “a godsdamned mess.” The population is dwindling, the economy is suffering, and Hermione Granger has decided to pursue an arranged marriage—but only so she can be nominated to the antiquated Wizengamot, of course. After all, the Wizengamot is ignoring the world’s problems, and Hermione is determined to fix them. Granted, she never expected to be matched with Draco sodding Malfoy—the newest DMLE consultant who wears his Azkaban tattoos as proudly as his childhood sneer. But admittedly, between the turbulence of her farcical relationship, corrupt politicians, and a serial killer on the loose, nothing in Hermione’s life is going according to plan. Maybe hate sex with her husband will help?

    Summary

    When Lavender and Parvati came back from after-lunch divination all a-whisper and agog talking about soulmates and the like, Hermione for one had not cared. Ginny, having followed them up the stairs to their dorm, had begged them to show her how they did it and when the three of them had huddled in the corner of the room, Hermione hadn’t cared in the slightest. When the girls had begun squealing in anticipation or delight, Hermione did not care.

    When she was accused of compromising Draco Malfoy’s virtue by his own father, Hermione afforded the soulmate prediction a singular, desperate thought before she was embroiled in an airtight betrothal contract.

    ***

    Betrothal contract Dramione where they all act like teenagers. They are stupid and annoying sometimes because they're teenagers.

    Summary

    A single rose is all it takes. One singular seemingly innocuous token of affection that turns Hermione Granger's life on its head. She would have been lying if she said she hadn’t been intrigued. Flattered even. After all, who could resist the mysterious allure of a secret admirer?

    However, every rose has its thorn, and it's only a matter of time before this one draws blood.

    Summary

    They turn towards the gathering of family and friends, hands clasped together, and walk away Lord and Lady Malfoy.

    It was such a shame they weren’t in love.

    _

    Draco Malfoy strikes up a deal with the one and only, Hermione Granger. The terms are simple, she gives him an heir and he signs her permission slip to get her mastery and continue pursuing her education.

    There have been more disastrous marriages, certainly. It's not as if they'll fall in love or anything.
