Summary
“Do you recognize this man? I ran it through our files, but they came up empty.” Bruce stared at the man, though, troubled. “I feel like I’ve apprehended him before, but why would it have been wiped from the servers?”
(Because Dick deleted it.)
“I don’t know him,” Dick lied.
If Bruce knew who this man was, Dick knew—he knew—Bruce would bench him out of these missions. He tried to keep them out of the ones which got personal. And Dick... Dick needed to go on this mission.
Bruce, still staring at the screen, started speaking again. “His name is—”
Anthony Zucco.
---
Or: Zucco never got caught after the Flying Graysons' death, and yes. Dick has trauma about that

Summary
Six years after the Battle of Hogwarts...
She's chasing a future.
He’s wasting his inheritance.
Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy have nothing in common, except an engagement neither of them wanted.
Forced into proximity under the guise of politics and propriety, old wounds reopen and sparks ignite. They despise each other...or at least, they’ve convinced themselves they do.
In a game of power, pride, and blurred lines, hate might not be the strongest feeling between them after all.
