Summary
When Rose woke up that morning, she thought it would be a normal day at her cottage: having breakfast with her cousin Al, tending to her garden, fulfilling her owl orders, engaging in one of her (admittedly too many) craft hobbies and taking a long walk by the ocean.
Instead, she found Al’s friend and Auror partner Scorpius Malfoy, lounging on her couch, judging her house décor and planning his six-month stay as he recovers from a mission gone wrong. How could Al betray her like this?

Summary
Scorpius Malfoy is not Rose Wealsey’s soulmate. Out of desperation (and delaying the inevitable rejection), Rose took the SoulMates test only to find out her soulmate is unknown. And that might’ve been okay, in a soul-crushingly devastating kind of way—only, they work together. In the same cubicle.

“You just said you didn’t care about winning-” Draco started.

Summary
After six months of bickering, takeout dinners, and aggressively ignoring their own feelings, Aurors Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger are accidentally dosed with Veritaserum and left unsupervised.
Stuck in an interrogation room, physically incapable of lying they are about to discover exactly what the other has been thinking for the past six months. Turns out when you can't lie about the sweet and sour chicken, you can't lie about anything else either.
By the end of the night, the case is unresolved, the muffins are vindicated, and the table will never emotionally recover.
Or: Two emotionally repressed idiots finally get honest, then get horizontal.

Summary
“What? What’s happened?” Super Observant Auror Potter joined them.
“It’s the curse,” Theo told him as they made their way to the futzy overstuffed armchairs with which Theo insisted on furnishing his study.
“Oh, damn, that’s still going on?” Blaise asked.
“What curse?” Weasley asked.
The Slythermen turned to the Gryffindorks, exasperation written on their faces.
“You really are the most unobservant people I’ve ever had the displeasure to meet,” Draco told them.
Weasley rolled his eyes, but took it on the chin, fair play to him. “Whatever, Ferret. Just tell us about the curse.”
And so he did.
With a gulp of whisky followed by a dramatic sigh first, of course.
“I have a curse that makes women hate me when I start to fall for them.”
OR!
Purebloods are melodramatic, but Curse-breaker Granger saves the day!
