    Summary

    Eight years after the defeat of Voldemort, a separated Lucius Malfoy is busy rehabilitating his image. What better move than buying the Holyhead Harpies – everyone loves Quidditch, right? Besides, Ginny Weasley, their talented twenty-six-year old Chaser, is just begging to be turned into star material. And Lucius has an eye – and the funds – for nurturing talent.

    Summary

    Nine years after the war, Lucius Malfoy is a ghost draped in fine robes, recently released from Azkaban to the ruins of his life: an empty ancestral home, a wand that resists him, and no one left to call family. He expects only to fade into obscurity.

    Until a Thursday morning brings a sight he cannot forget.

    Two children. Malfoy hair. Malfoy eyes. Malfoy poise.

    And with them — Hermione Granger. No longer the Golden Girl, but a celebrated scientist… and unmistakably a mother. Her return to Britain stirs old grudges, older secrets, and something far more dangerous: a pull neither of them expected. Between them lies a truth that could shatter everything Lucius thought he knew about blood, legacy, and the possibility of love.

    Heavy romance, but featherlight plot. Superb writing style.

    Summary

    Hermione strikes a deal with Lucius Malfoy, but both get more than they bargained for. Hermione learns that her intentions are not as noble as she initially thought. Lucius learns that Hermione is not to be underestimated; beneath her Head Girl facade is a witch as ruthless as he is. What follows are hard lessons for both regarding trust, power, selfishness, redemption, and sacrifice.

    "You do like that, don't you?" Lucius said, his voice low, seductive. "It's almost as if you want to enjoy this. But that would be unthinkable, wouldn't it?"

    F**K! Holy s**t! What a beautiful mind f**k. That's how much I enjoyed this fic. I've lost my eloquence; I'm reduced to profanity. The plot was intricate, creative, and gorgeous. Hermione and Lucius were both dark af but also redeemed. Emotions sprang from the prose and swallowed me whole.
