Summary
I've always struggled with the ethics of magic in Harry Potter: if Imperius violates consent, why doesn't Tarantallegra? If Cruciatus causes suffering, what about Rictusempra? Who better to draft a new ethical framework than Muggleborn Hermione Granger, Minister for Magic? This is the start of a magical 'Me Too' movement.
Having said that, a pure treatise on ethics wouldn't be much fun. Hermione's personal life is anything but clear, especially when a certain grey-eyed, blonde-haired Slytherin keeps blurring the lines she's trying to draw. Expect contradictions, complications, and someone who legislates consent while negotiating it in very different terms behind closed doors -

Summary
Hermione Jean Granger Malfoy has been missing for almost four years. She vanished, leaving her friends and husband, Draco, with no trails to follow. When news reaches Harry about a witch arrested for the murder of nine muggles in NYC, he cannot believe it’s Hermione who’s committed the crime. Traveling to the States to collect his long-lost best friend, he learns she is not the same person as before. She's been obliviated. She remembers nothing of magic, the war she won, nor the husband she left behind. Trapped by her circumstances, she became an exotic dancer and sex worker to save enough money to return to England and rediscover her identity. Now back into the world of magic, Hermione readapts herself to a life at Malfoy Manor as Draco prepares his candidacy for Minister for Magic. Torn between being the only person she’s ever known and living up to the Golden Girl’s exemplary reputation, Hermione searches for the truth behind her disappearance as she acclimates to magic. In the process, she risks her own happiness as she tries to reconnect with her surly and insufferably cynical husband—who hates her and the promiscuous life she led in New York but is also severely determined to never let her out of his sights again.

Summary
Hermione’s hand was poised above the door knob. She stood outside the small shop for several minutes before she even approached the wooden door. It was almost closing time. She watched him help a customer through the picture window for some time, hidden in the street’s dark shadows at the junction of Diagon and Knockturn Alleys. Her eyes took in the bold lettering of the store sign, The Poisoned Pen, Books and Potions, Est. 2008. She smiled at the name despite her nerves.
He’d remembered.
