Summary
7 yr postwar and Hermione is looking for a career change, and the only project she's interested in studying is under Draco Malfoy. (Cross posted from ffnet)
"It was like she could forget just where they were for a moment, or even when they were.
Right then, it was like they were over ten years into the past when she’d been a slip of a girl with 12 years to her name and convinced that Draco had the potential to become..
well become more.
And he had.And just like then, she fell into him. Because it was familiar. Because she had before. Despite all the anger and hate that had been between them.
Because even if she hadn’t truly been able to admit it to herself then as a girl, she certainly could now.

Summary
Two years after the end of the war Magical Britain was dying, and after a deadly outbreak of Dragon Pox, their numbers were dwindling. Then the Marriage Law came. When it had been repealed 4 years later, she'd handed him the paperwork.
"He’d looked...he’d looked like he’d rather she’d cursed him. Like he’d rather have died.
But she had needed to do it. Because, the law had colored everything, and she couldn’t tell where they began and where the law ended.
She needed to have control. To believe that it was because of them not a bureaucratic demand.
And Draco… Draco had only asked her if it was truly what she wanted. When she’d said yes, he’d asked for only one thing.The children."
It was 6 years later before she found her way back to England. All of it prompted by a letter from her sons.

Summary
With each glimpse she was granted of the man beneath the cool and hardened aristocratic exterior, she had felt her heart warm for the first time in years. She had begun to want so much more. The reality; however, was that she didn’t dare threaten the rather fragile foundation that was between them. Didn’t dare try to cross the thin line between friendship and something else.
They had eventually crossed it, and in many ways the war had been simpler than what had then unfolded.
