    Summary

    Hermione straightens her hair and Draco is furious about it.

    “What, Malfoy?” Hermione tosses her hair – it’s so sleek, like a sheet of rain cascading over her shoulders – reaching past the small of her back – silken enough to reflect the candlelight. “Cat got your tongue?” She looks up at him from the landing, one hand on her hip.

    He glowers as he almost trips down the next few stairs. Pauses on the last one to make sure he’s looking down on her.

    “You look awful,” he tells her with more sincerity than any insult he's ever levied. He watches her face crumple – the way she smooths her expression back out like a sheet of parchment – and then he shoves past her and into the Great Hall.

    Summary

    “Christmas Crackers?” Malfoy asks, holding one up, then looks at her with a surprisingly warm expression. “Cute.”

    Hermione fights a blush. They’re no ordinary Christmas Crackers. She had George and the staff at Weasley’s Wizard Wheezes whip up a special surprise for the Ministry—except she explicitly requested they be red and green, not gold and silver.

    It’s not that big of a deal. She’ll get over it. Tomorrow.

    Malfoy busies himself by helping to distribute several tubes on each table without request. It’s easy, working with him in a silent tandem. They’ve done it a few times on shared projects, holing up in her office or his, and quickly fall into an easy rhythm. Every time she sneaks a glance, he’s conveniently looking elsewhere.

    At the final table, he shakes one close to his ear. “So what’s inside? They’re light.”

    She hurries over to him. There’s few enough people around that the surprise won't be ruined if she gives him a peek, and the prototypes were perfect.

    “We’ll have to be quick.”

    A sly smile pulls at his lips, and he holds one end towards her. “On three?”

    Summary

    With slow movements, she pulled the form closer, dragging her eyes away from the man she loved and down to the parchment. At first glance, it looked normal. Completely standard, with all the right boxes checked. Nothing seemed amiss, and his penmanship was as neat–

    MARRIED?

    Hermione’s heart flipped. Her breath caught. Instead of being marked with a check in the NO column, there was a question mark.

    Right beneath the YES.

    Summary

    At first, she was shocked. Surprised at her own reactions, and how she found her knickers growing wet after their one-on-one meetings. Then came shame, flaming her cheeks and carving a hollow in her stomach that panged like an empty cauldron.

    Why else did she find herself staring at them during meetings, watching his fingers stroke the soft tip of his quill with a burning tightness in her lungs and tension building in her abdomen? Or how, when he used his thumb to spin one of his rings, she felt each stroke between her thighs? When he rapped a knuckle on the table between them, it echoed the stuttered tempo of her own heart, and only then could she force herself to look away.

    Draco Malfoy's hands were her most despicable fantasy.

    Summary

    In theory, the task is simple: kill Draco Malfoy. In practice, putting a curse through the Dark Lord's favoured lieutenant will take everything Hermione has―especially since he's trying to kill her, too. Even more so when the lines between them start to blur. Sometimes, the only way out is through.
