Summary
Draco Malfoy has been a probationary Auror for two years, even after completing the required three-year program, despite numerous attempts now to have said probationary status lifted. While his skills are an incredible asset to the DMLE, his existence is still seen as a threat by the Ministry and must be put in a leash; hence, the probation. He's going to prove once and for all that he's one of the best, if not the best, Auror the ministry can get. He is excellent with dark arts mastery and defense (why wouldn't he when he has the war to blame), CQC, and every other requirement they threw at him. All except for the one he can't seem to meet: conjuring a patronus. Lacking any useful happy memories, he decides to take a philanthropic approach. After all, helping others should evoke happy memories, right?
And, much to her anxiety, when Hermione sees a familiar tall blonde prat walking into her charity event, stating he is there to volunteer, she should have said no.
OR
Hermione helps Draco with conjuring a patronus through acts of charity, and moments meant for philanthropic attempts turn to denial of feelings and attraction.
