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
“Malfoy—wait—before this goes further,” she said, wiggling as he traced a finger down a ticklish spot on her thigh.
He froze and sat back.
“You should know that I’m not looking for anything serious, and—and my rule is no staying over.” She bit her lip and, from the rather vulnerable spot beneath him on her bed, semi-dressed, she waited for his verdict.
“You have a rule?” he asked with a sexy half-smile that turned into a predatory smirk. He lowered his lips to her neck.
“Everyone’s got rules. I’m just upfront with mine.”
That earned her a surprised huff of laughter from him, warm against her skin.
“I’ll be gone before you fall asleep,” he promised in a murmur.

Summary
Draco looked miserably at the low ceilings and stone walls of what were apparently going to be his living quarters at Hogwarts. The rooms were minuscule. He made one last effort. “I understand that living in the castle is a tradition here, but professors at Beauxbatons—”
Granger glared at him, arms crossed and hip cocked. In her sensible heels, she was exactly his height, yet they did not see eye to eye. “Let me guess, Professor Malfoy: you skied down to the campus every morning from your mansion above the clouds? And a dozen elf-made croissants awaited you in an office the size of a ballroom?”
“Oh, you’ve been, then?”
“This is your suite. Happy housewarming. Goodbye.” She whirled away, heels clicking on the stone floor.
Draco was left grumbling to no one, a state he found himself in after nearly every interaction with the Director of Hogwarts.

Summary
The owl squeezed itself through the rusting bars of his Azkaban cell and flew to the ground, hooting in triumph and waddling around on the dusty floor. Draco grasped the owl gently in his fist to still it, then withdrew the letter from the mail bag.
His heart thudded. Who was contacting him? His mother? Pansy? Not one of the Death Eaters, surely?
Then he unrolled the page and let out a disbelieving huff.
It was a fucking survey.
Well. They wanted a response? He’d give them one.
- On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 4 (very), how clean are Azkaban’s facilities? — Fuck you
- On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 4 (very), how humane has your treatment been at Azkaban? — Fuck this
- Any additional comments? — Fuck off
P.S. Your owl is insane

Summary
Hermione Granger is desperate to get Hogwarts up and running again after the war. She wants to do a full renovation, add special courses, allow new regulations for muggle-borns and more. But despite being 'The Golden Girl', she's shite at getting the elite to spend their galleons on her cause. She's blunt and lacking in the social graces expected of someone of her status.
Draco Malfoy has just finished serving a 3 year term at Azkaban for his part in the war-a sentence that was only lowered because of Hermione's character witness at his trial. He sees her struggling to make the right impression amongst the upper-class wizarding community and offers to give her lessons in manners and etiquette associated with closing the deals she needs to secure her dreams.
But this isn't just any kind of arrangement.
They have 10 lessons between now and the social event of the year.
There's only 1 rule: For each lesson he gives her on how to act in public, she must return a favor of his choice.
10 Lessons. 10 Favors. No boundaries.
