    Summary

    Five years ago, Hermione Granger would have argued—with citations—that Draco Malfoy was the last person she'd willingly meet for tea.

    When an obscure marriage law threatens both of their futures, friendship becomes partnership, partnership becomes performance, and somewhere between Ministry politics, family expectations, and one impossible deadline, pretending starts to feel dangerously real.
