    Summary

    Draco Malfoy was never the type of person who denied himself anything.

    Honestly, there was only one thing he had ever wanted and refused to pursue. Sharp words had masked that longing for years. And over time, he’d convinced himself that those actions—cruel, childish, cowardly—had eradicated any chance he ever had with her.

    But when Hermione Granger went missing, abruptly and without a trace, and Twiddle Dee (Potter) and Twiddle Dum (Weasley) acted like it was no big deal… well, that just worried him more.

    The magical world was trying to rebuild itself. Without its brightest mind.

    And no one seemed to care.

    That, Draco could not abide.

    So when he cornered Potter outside the Ministry, half-shouting in some dim corridor, demanding to know where she was, it was the Weasel who finally snapped: “She’s gone. She wanted out. She obliviated herself, Malfoy. Said she was done with all of it. That’s her choice—let her have it.”

    Summary

    “Divorce technically isn’t our only option,” Hermione said absentmindedly. “Malfoy could die within the next two years, for example.”

    Malfoy turned to her, eyes blazing. “Either of us could die, Granger. I don’t appreciate the insinuation of it being me.”

    “I didn’t say it for you to appreciate it. It’s merely a fact.”

    Malfoy turned to Kinglsey. “If nothing else can nullify our impending nuptials, surely Granger exhibiting the markers for premeditated murder should?”

    Granger rolled her eyes. “If I were going to murder you, I wouldn’t be stupid enough to plan it with the Minister For Magic.”

    Malfoy mockingly put his hand against his heart. “Oh, that’s such a relief. I much prefer the idea of being murdered in the spur of the moment. Premeditation is very played out.”

    “Quite literally,” Hermione said.

    Clearing his throat, Kingsley said, “I appreciate that you both have history. Even so, the Wizenmagot has chosen the two of you to marry.”

    “Granger’s intent on putting the ‘death’ in ‘til death do us part, and you want to categorise our dynamic as having ‘history,’” Malfoy scoffed, leaning his head back. “We’re fucked.”

    Summary

    Hermione Granger was just trying to have a normal Tuesday. You know: feed her overly dramatic cat, open a definitely-dangerous ancient armoire, ignore Cormac McLaggen until he wanders off to do whatever it is useless men do.

    Instead, she got: A surprise heist, four suspiciously well-coordinated intruders in designer cloaks, one ancient book radiating “murder me” vibes and a front-row seat to what can only be described as a magical boyband breakup under extreme stress.

    Inside the warehouse: Chaos, spells, and a near-bludgeoning featuring one decorative bust. Outside the warehouse: Harry Potter with 36 Aurors, a plan held together with sellotape and rage, and Ron Weasley seconds from committing murder on live Prophet coverage.

    It’s like Ocean’s Eleven had a baby with Die Hard and gave it a wand, a trauma bond, and a lot of feelings no one is emotionally equipped to handle. The intruders say they want the cursed object. Hermione suspects what they really need is group therapy, juice boxes, and a very long nap.

    The Vault is: 50% tension 30% sarcasm 20% bad decisions and 100% one Gryffindor witch with a coin-based panic button saving her own damn life while the wizards argue about tactical logistics.

    Summary

    “I’m leaving,” Hermione responded, turning on her heels and walking back the way her son had come from as she clutched him close to her chest.

    The boy watched them over his mother’s shoulder, and Harry’s stomach dropped.

    He had seen this blonde-haired, grey-eyed child before. One week earlier, in a picture sitting on Draco Malfoy’s desk. The same Draco Malfoy who had spent the time since the war ended living in France. And Malfoy never named his wife.

    Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

    Hermione Granger married Draco fucking Malfoy and had a kid with him.
