    Summary

    Hermione Granger has spent the last few months trying very hard not to let her best friend’s increasingly unfair forearms derail her academic ambitions.

    She’s doing a decent job of it, all things considered...right up until Harry Potter shows up at her potion station after practice, golden and grinning, and asks for just a bit of her evening. A special request.

    She hasn’t showered. She smells like dragon bile and regret. But when he says her name like that...soft and urgent and crooked-smiled... well, there’s really only one answer she can give.

    After all, being at Harry’s beck and call has always sort of been her thing.

    Written for Harmony Summertime Madness

     

    Prompt: After a bad day, Harry drags Hermione up to the Room of Requirement. She is feeling super awkward about it because she's been busy enough she hasn't exactly preened for Harry like she usually does. But Harry just wants to build a pillow fort and snuggle anyway, so it all works out.

    Summary

    Nine years ago, Hermione Granger created a plan to become Minister of Magic by the time she turned 60. As part of that plan she knew she needed a husband and two children to convince the public to support her.

    She is now approaching her thirty-fourth birthday and is still single, though not for lack of trying. She's questioning her dating methodology as friends grow distant, her parents age, her fertile years are peaking, and the professional goals she created at twenty-five are starting to become harder to cling to. She knows she needs something to change, but that's easier said than done when Draco Malfoy won't leave her the fuck alone.

    As for Draco, there's nothing quite as alluring as an angry Hermione Granger, and that's why he's been teasing her for the last ten years. It's only when he comes up with his best idea yet - and gets himself assigned as her security detail for an event that absolutely does not require it - that he starts to peel back the layers and sees her for who she really is. She's more than just a beautiful witch with a fierce temper. She's flawed, lonely, and starting to burn out.

    Draco knows he can help. He just needs to her to say yes first.

    Summary

    Percival doesn’t speak with much volume or inflection—especially not since he became deaf—but his expression is pained. His mind is a brick wall to her, solid and unyielding, and she gleans nothing from him, nothing to soften the blow of his next words. “Miss Goldstein, you must understand that I am sympathetic, but if you want to do this, then I cannot help you.”

    - - -

    Between serving coffee and making pastries, Queenie Goldstein decides to fight the law.
