Summary
Five years after the war, Hermione Granger has very little time for something like a relationship. She's far too busy trying to run the Bureau for Endangered Creatures efficiently, dealing with budget cuts and ignorant ministry officials and finding a way to somehow restore her parents' memories, who are still in Australia and none the wiser about the existence of their daughter.
When she discovers that the Wizengamot plans to use Draco Malfoy as a scapegoat whilst dealing with elusive Voldemort loyalists, she offers to testify for him. She's not quite sure how it led to her trying on wedding dresses under the watchful eye of Narcissa Malfoy.

Summary
“Alright, Hermione. Tell me what having a work flirt means. It’s no skin off my back whether or not you engage in an office romance with your former bully, but last I checked, you had a boyfriend. One you could anytime flirt with.”
“Draco’s not actually interested in me. He’s engaged to Astoria Greengrass.” It stung a bit to say it out loud, even though it was the inescapable reality. Ginny knew it. Everyone knew it. “It’s just a bit of fun. Makes the work hours go by a little faster. It’s stimulating—intellectually and physically.”
“Physically, eh?” Ginny lifted a cautiously interested brow.
“Well, just in the sense that it makes my heart race a little.” She picked at a fleck of dirt beneath her thumbnail, embarrassed and exposed by Ginny’s persistent line of questioning. “You know, a little…thrilling.”
“Flirting with Draco Malfoy is… thrilling?”
Or, Hermione and Draco are relentless work flirts, because they think it's all they can ever be. They are mistaken.

Summary
When their eyes meet, there is a brief moment of oppressive silence, as if they are under pressure. Hermione isn't sure if he's looking directly into her eyes since her vision tragically fails her at the most critical moment. She lowers her gaze to his shoulder, to the ripped fabric of his shirt, splattered with blood and something else...
Something inside Hermione starts to crumble, whether it's a corset made of ribs or a dried-up heart drained of blood, she's not sure.
She pays little attention to the blood on his shoulder, casting a foggy glance at the elongated head of the tattooed dragon.

Summary
Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.
