    Summary

    Five years after the war, Hermione Granger has very little time for something like a relationship. She's far too busy trying to run the Bureau for Endangered Creatures efficiently, dealing with budget cuts and ignorant ministry officials and finding a way to somehow restore her parents' memories, who are still in Australia and none the wiser about the existence of their daughter.

    When she discovers that the Wizengamot plans to use Draco Malfoy as a scapegoat whilst dealing with elusive Voldemort loyalists, she offers to testify for him. She's not quite sure how it led to her trying on wedding dresses under the watchful eye of Narcissa Malfoy.

    Summary

    Following an incident during an assignment, Hermione recruits Draco to collaborate with her on an undercover mission. Their intention is to reveal the hidden truths of the Ministry, and as Draco begins to display unusual behavior, Hermione meticulously begins to document her observations, just like the investigative journalist she is, but what she really wants to know is why he does it.

    Enjoy a fun, exasperated, and carefree Hermione and a somber, superstitious, and very observant Draco... This story is a "lighthearted" adventure with very serious themes as it takes several dark & sad twists.

    Summary

    Hermione was never meant to rewrite the rules. Top of her class. Always prepared. Always predictable. But after one mistake and a humiliating betrayal, her certainty of who she is begins to fracture. And in the unraveling, she starts asking questions no one expects.

    Draco notices. He’s not supposed to. Not her, not like this. But the more she slips beyond the version everyone knows, the more she disrupts the carefully constructed lines he’s lived behind.

    The year begins like any other. But the ground is shifting. The rules are changing. And the game everyone thought they were playing suddenly doesn’t look the same.

    Because this isn’t a story about enemies. Or even allies.

    It’s about what happens when two people are faced with a choice: keep playing the roles they’ve always known, or risk everything for something neither of them saw coming.

    TLDR:
    Hermione wants revenge, picks up a broom, and becomes the hottest problem Draco’s ever had.

    Tension builds. Clothes come off. Draco can’t look away.

    Unfortunately for him, neither can anyone else.

    Chaos, thirst, and jersey-related disasters inevitably ensue.

    Summary

    *** NOW COMPLETE ***

    Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for her Eighth Year, but not to reclaim her past. She wants to disappear into it entirely. She wants to be a student, not a war hero, and certainly not the Golden Girl. She doesn’t want Draco Malfoy, but Malfoy is there, silent, watchful, and just as haunted as she is. He sees the way she no longer fights to be the best, and the way she shrinks from the spotlight she once thrived in. They don’t want to share space, but they do. As tension builds between them, Hermione begins to realize that slipping away isn’t so easy when someone else sees you fading.
