Summary
Seven years after the defeat of Voldemort, Hermione Granger is tired of the Ministry not taking her work seriously in the Department for Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. After being ignored one to many times, she decides to take matters in her own hands and finds an unlikely ally in none other than Lucius Malfoy.
(If you're like me and get impatient with the expositional plot, 5 is when Hermione and Lucius interact)
(Also I'm trying to release a chapter once a week. Feel free to point out any grammar errors so that both you and I can fix it. English is my first language and I'm still bad at it lol. I have a few chapters already written but I want to make sure the pacing and grammar is alright)

Summary
Nine years ago, Hermione Granger created a plan to become Minister of Magic by the time she turned 60. As part of that plan she knew she needed a husband and two children to convince the public to support her.
She is now approaching her thirty-fourth birthday and is still single, though not for lack of trying. She's questioning her dating methodology as friends grow distant, her parents age, her fertile years are peaking, and the professional goals she created at twenty-five are starting to become harder to cling to. She knows she needs something to change, but that's easier said than done when Draco Malfoy won't leave her the fuck alone.
As for Draco, there's nothing quite as alluring as an angry Hermione Granger, and that's why he's been teasing her for the last ten years. It's only when he comes up with his best idea yet - and gets himself assigned as her security detail for an event that absolutely does not require it - that he starts to peel back the layers and sees her for who she really is. She's more than just a beautiful witch with a fierce temper. She's flawed, lonely, and starting to burn out.
Draco knows he can help. He just needs to her to say yes first.

Summary
“Everything will be different now.” She continues. “Starting today...more will be expected of you than ever before. And you can not fail me–fail your family. Do you understand?”
“Yes, mother.” Because of course he does. Regulus understands what today means. He knows that he will never get a moment to be truly and completely alone again. That is why he had slipped away to the music room instead of attending breakfast. It was his last moment of peace. His goodbye to his old life in which he could enjoy his solitude. Because after today, all eyes would be on him and his family. After today, he would never be allowed to wander anywhere without supervision. Not even in his own home. Because today is the day he becomes a prince.
~~~
King Riddle has declared the Noble House of Black as his heirs to the Pureblood Throne among a viper pit of power hungry, envious nobles. Regulus and Sirius struggle to navigate life as royals where everyone they meet could want them dead, even those closest to them.

Summary
“Why does this one feel so different,” James asks quietly, standing in the doorway with Regulus tight in his arms.
“It’s scary every time, I think we just forget how much.” Regulus responds, not making any move to pull away from James’ hold on him.
