    Summary

    The air in the kitchen was rich with the scent of baking.
    He reached around her, chest warm against her back, and set the serving spoon on the counter. For a moment they lingered there—her whisking, him solid and present. The cream was smooth and pale, catching the afternoon light.
    “Perfect timing on the cake,” he murmured, lips brushing the shell of her ear.
    “Is it? I feel like I just… began,” she admitted with a laugh. “But it smells right.”
    “When you’re busy up here”—he tapped lightly at her temple—“time doesn’t stand a chance.”
    She arched an eyebrow, fighting back a smile. “If focus could bend temporal mechanics, arithmancers would be immortal.”
    “Only the clever ones who survive the paradox cascade. You’d navigate it flawlessly, of course.”
    The cream had formed perfect peaks, but Hermione barely noticed. Her whisk hovered mid-air, eyes wide. Something hot and electric shot through her chest as his words sank in.
    “Who are you?” she whispered in awe. The timer chimed then, mellow and silver, harmonizing with the wind chimes.

    Summary

    In an effort to convince the world that post-war Britain is finally stable, the Ministry unveils a glittering PR initiative featuring its boldest symbol of unity yet: Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy… in a relationship.

    Neither of them agreed to this.

    Forced together by political pressure, Hermione and Draco endure months of orchestrated publicity—carefully staged outings, scripted interviews, and an endless carousel of cameras demanding affection neither of them feel.

    Somewhere between the performance and the truth, they begin to realize that the only thing more dangerous than their fake relationship… is what happens when it stops being fake.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger-Weasley has built a life defined by order: family, routine, and a career dedicated to archiving dangerous magical artifacts. But as she’s drawn into a mission in Vienna—and into a forced alliance with Draco Malfoy, now a commanding figure in magical research security—everything she thought stable begins to fracture.

    When the experiment collapses, trapping them inside a fractured pocket of time, Hermione and Draco must rely on the one thing neither ever believed in: each other.

    Summary

    Sixteen years ago, Hermione Granger removed herself from Draco Malfoy's memory. She never expected to see him again.

    If he hadn't kept journals of their time together, she might have been right.

    ***

     

    “Hello, Kit.”

     

    Her intuition and Sneakascope had both failed her. The deep voice that reverberated around her office wasn’t that of an administrator. And it called her a name she hadn’t heard in 16 years.

    One that heralded danger.

    She didn’t turn. Couldn’t turn. There was no way her eyes could confirm what her brain already knew. Besides, she’d already been bled, vomited and sweated on; she didn’t need to add her own tears to the mix.

    “So it’s true then?” the voice continued, “Curious.”
