Summary
When Dumbledore is found dead—poisoned—the Ministry goes on high alert. Returning for seventh year under wartime security measures, Hermione Granger is caught off guard when her academic rival, Draco Malfoy, offers to teach her restricted magic in secret.
Soon, whispers about the nature of their relationship run rampant, and students grow wary of the seemingly dangerous pair. As the war closes in, Hermione and Draco are drawn deeper and deeper into an obsession that threatens to consume them—and anyone caught in their orbit.
“Are you ashamed, Granger?”
“Yes,” she whispered, letting her eyes fall closed.
“Why?”
It was no use pretending, he’d know if she lied.
“Because I think—I think maybe I’ll go to hell for this.”
He stiffened. Only for a moment. Then his lips pressed to her throat. His voice was lower when he spoke, rasping against her.

Summary
“What are you doing in my office, Malfoy?” she asked, toeing the line between businesslike and unfriendly.
He glanced over, eyes flicking from her face down her body once, before fixing his attention back on her books.
“I was under the impression you were an investigative journalist,” he quipped, then lifted a hand to the spines.
“Don’t touch my books,” she snapped. “You can’t just invite yourself in.”
“The witch downstairs implied your assistant could.” He gestured to himself with the raised hand, turning his obedience at not messing with her things into something distinctly insouciant. Prat.
And then his words registered.
She jolted back like she’d been slapped, blinking against the cognitive assault. “What? No. You’re claiming that you are my new research assistant?”
“Cracked it in one,” he drawled, sliding his hands into his trouser pockets.

Summary
“Hi,” she begins, tone casual because that’s what they are—casual. Or so he insists. “Shouldn’t you be resting before it starts up again?”
He draws to a halt in front of her, chest heaving. She lifts her butterbeer between them, brows raised invitingly.
“Thirsty?”
He ignores the offer, eyes burning into hers with unblinking intensity.
“What’re you playing at?” he grits out, the words low and just for her. With his back to the room, no one else can see the way his entire being is radiating displeasure.
But that’s the way it’s always been. A secret between them, no one else the wiser.
She takes the sip instead, eyeing him over the rim.
“You’re the one playing,” she remarks lightly. “I’m just on the sidelines.”

Summary
The curve of his mouth is fond, eyes amused.
She likes the way he looks at her; likes the person she’s become around him. It reminds her of how she used to be, ten years and two relationships ago, when every thought heralded a world of new possibilities.
What would she have been like, had she met him then? What would she have been like, had she never had her heart broken by Ron? Had never settled down with Viktor?
Inside, a tiny voice whispers: you can still find out.
———
Or when estranged, pregnant Hermione goes on a solo babymoon and meets someone.
