Summary
Draco Malfoy has built himself a quiet life in Diagon Alley. He brews potions, runs his shop, raises his son, supports the small shops around him and allows elderly witches to bully him into accepting sweets he does not want. It is a good life. A life that keeps his days carefully ordered.
Then Hermione Granger begins walking past Neville’s shop every morning with her daughter and her yellow school bag. Hermione never looks at him. Rose does. One yellow school bag, one unnecessary change to Draco’s routine, and suddenly the life he thought was settled begins to shift.
Hermione has problems of her own. A marriage held together by habit. Ron is gone more often than he is home, his affairs have become poorly kept secrets, and his Quidditch career matters to him far more than the daughter waiting for him to remember her.
Somewhere between school runs, potion orders, legal threats, old grief, and two children becoming friends before their parents do, Draco falls in love. Slowly. Completely.
Hermione notices. She has simply decided someone else can do some of the work for once.

Summary
She grabbed his wrist and pulled the spoon into her mouth slowly, holding his gaze as she did. The silver touched her tongue, her lashes dropped shut and she gave a soft, mewling sound of approval.
"Fuck."
Or: Draco Malfoy had planned everything: the right restaurant, the right flowers, the right outfit. Hermione Granger, as it turned out, had plans of her own.

Summary
Out of the three books Hermione Granger is currently reading, her favourite is undoubtedly Agrippan Arithmancy and Its Applications.
… And it’s definitely a book on arithmancy and not a smutty romance novel with a transfigured cover.
Her colleague and cheeky nuisance Draco Malfoy is determined to find out why a book about arithmancy of all things has got her so flustered. A little bit of book espionage later, and things spiral slightly out of control when Draco and Hermione find themselves sucked into the book. The only way out? Achieve the tropes.
Not as simple as it sounds when there's those pesky things called feelings involved.
This is a slow burn, frenemies to lovers fic. It's heavy on dialogue and banter, the angst is occasional and quickly resolved, and it is, of course, packed to the brim with all our favourite tropes.
Come for the tropes, stay for the ogling, the pining, the synonyms and, of course, for Draco's bestie Jim Nasium.

Summary
Draco Malfoy had been sentenced to a life in Azkaban after the war, and had resigned himself to that fate. That was until Hermione Granger showed up one day with his release papers in hand and informed him that they were being forced to wed under the new Marriage Law saying she was going to let him live his life as he saw fit, with no expectations or conditions.
He had always been told he had made all the wrong choices, but truth be told, Draco Malfoy never really had a choice at all. Not in how he was raised, what he was told to believe. Not in how he was required to carry himself. Not in taking the Dark Mark. Not in his first mission as a slave to the Dark Lord. Not in what would happen in his future.
Hermione Granger was now giving him choices over his own life, and he wouldn't fuck it up.
