Summary
With rumours of an impending marriage law making the rounds in Wizarding Britain, Hermione Granger takes it upon herself to announce a competition to win her heart, in hopes of securing a match on her own before the Ministry mandates one for her. News breaks in The Daily Prophet that the wizard who can catch her cat, whose collar holds a key to her flat, will be the one who also wins her heart.
Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy has become a virtual shut-in, living alone in Malfoy Manor. He, like everyone else, learns of the competition, but has no intention of winning it himself.
It seems to be by pure coincidence that he ends up befriending Granger's cat out of crippling loneliness. When he moves into her building at the behest of their mutual best friend, Theo Nott, who is also a resident, he finds himself having a front row seat to the competition.
Of course, he and everyone else have no idea that her cat is no ordinary cat. The cat, or "Duchess" as Draco finds himself calling her, is actually Hermione herself in her animagus form.
