    Summary

    Draco Malfoy, CEO of Malfoy Holdings, is busy with work and needs to get his matchmaking mother and a host of rapacious society gold diggers off his back.

    Hermione Granger desperately needs cash to care for her parents who are suffering the effects of a backfired memory charm reversal.

    Draco’s solution: Hire Granger to be his fake girlfriend.

    *****

    “Granger, I don’t have time for courtship. I’m too busy for champagne and flowers and coddling a needy witch. I just need someone to accompany me on business dinners and when I go to galas and cocktail parties without the complications or expectations that a girlfriend would bring.”

    “Why me?” she asked.

    Draco gave her an ironic look. “Because you’re the last witch who would ever want to marry me.”

    Summary

    If asked later, Agatha wouldn’t be able to say why she had done it. Much like when she absorbed magic, her body felt as though it were outside her control.

     

    ----

    In which Agatha sees Rio in danger and - despite herself - cannot stand to see her that way. Never let it be said that she was exceptionally well-known for thinking about the consequences of her actions.

    Summary

    Suddenly, like the unpredictable spring of a cobra, the answer struck her.

    “Oh. I understand. You’re courting me.”

    She pauses for a moment, thinking. She notices and chooses to ignore the gradual parting of Enid’s lips as her mouth gapes.

    “Very well then. You may continue.”

    AKA: The fic where Enid stumbles into the Addam’s family tradition of formal courtship, and is left to continue to stumble through the process.
