Summary
(COMPLETE: 3 chapter novella)
Hermione Granger and Theodore Nott are curse breakers, business partners, and best-friends-with-benefits. They take a lucrative Ministry contract that comes with the unfortunate requirement to bring along Draco Malfoy, the emotionally repressed warding expert who broke Theo's heart years ago.
Now our heroes find themselves locked in an unplottable 16th-century Scottish cottage that suppresses their magic whenever they bicker, but conveniently restocks the wine cellar every day. As days of forced proximity bleed into weeks, tightly wound boundaries finally unravel even though the wards stay firm. Old wounds are broken open, hidden desires are dragged into the candlelight, and they realize what it means to have everything.
"This is the most civilised captivity I've ever experienced," Theo announced, leaning back with a glass of red wine.
Hermione stabbed a roasted potato with unnecessary precision. "You've been imprisoned often then?"
"Only consensually, you know. I do so like to be bound," he responded with a grin aimed at Draco, blatant in his attempt to get a rise out of him.
