Summary
“Glee was the last thing she felt staring into the empty eyes that should have been a bright grey. His face had always looked pointed and sharp, but now that gave way to gauntness. His hair, which he had been so particular about in school, hung long and limp. It reminded her of how his father had looked in his mugshot. How he had wanted to be just like his father growing up. And now he was, maybe more than ever.
A ghost.”After doing more than her fair share in saving the Wizarding World and bearing the scars of what it cost, Hermione Granger thinks she has earned herself a little respite. But when a charismatic albeit chaotic Theodore Nott convinces her to use an old law to save a dear friend who is about to meet the Dementor’s Kiss, she simply cannot stand by and watch. Follow Hermione as she navigates a world that still believes in blood status, a marriage to save the life of an old enemy and the hurt that comes with surviving.

Summary
It’s the smell of it. Chemical. Bitter and sharp as a raw edge on metal. Just a hint of it as she passes him at breakfast — but enough to stop her dead, mid-step.
There is Wolfsbane in his tea.

Summary
Hermione Granger is used to disappointment.
When it comes to her love life, she’s given up hope of ever finding a meaningful connection. Seven years after the war, she finds herself trapped in a relationship she didn’t want with a wizard she can’t stand, suffocating under the weight of fame she never asked for.
Draco Malfoy wasn’t supposed to be released from Azkaban for at least another year. After he shows up to the restaurant where Hermione just so happens to be on a date looking more handsome than she remembers, she can’t seem to get the tall blond out of her head.
And he keeps popping up at the strangest of times.
When a scandal she can’t avoid leads her to uproot her entire life and move to Paris, Hermione is ready for a fresh start. But what happens when the one-night stand she tried to leave behind in London comes calling?
Chaos. Blackmail. Some light to moderate stalking.
He says they’re meant for each other. She thinks he needs to get his head examined.
What could go wrong?
