Summary
Sixteen years post-war, Draco Malfoy has reinvented himself: Head Auror of the French Ministry, internationally respected, hero-adjacent, and absolutely not still a security risk (depending on who you ask). So when Harry Potter lures him back to Britain with the promise of power, prestige and MILD public outrage, Draco's only question is: how bad could it possibly be?
Hermione Granger-Weasley is the Ministry's golden girl: war hero, legal prodigy, and the woman most likely to stabilise the government before her second cup of coffee. With Shacklebolt stepping down ahead of the November elections and two dangerously mediocre men circling the job like vultures, Hermione is the obvious - and reluctantly willing - successor. Backed by a few loyal allies, a lot of policy and a marriage that looks respectable (if you squint), she doesn't have time for distractions. Especially not in the form of Draco Malfoy: smug, silver-tongued, and recently hired into her orbit like a bad decision in expensive tailoring. Unfortunately he's infuriatingly competent. And even more unfortunately - he agrees with her.
OR how did Hermione Granger become Minister for Magic and how the fuck did Malfoy get roped into this deluded shit show.
