    Summary

    First, he stretches. Then, he exercises. He eats breakfast, and watches the street he lives on come to life -- the old man and his corgi, the baristas at the coffee shop, the woman who jogs, the daughter and father, and the Indian grocer all making their appearance. Then, he showers, shaves, dresses, and heads to his job as an Auror, where he has been on desk duty ever since he was pulled from the field because of The Incident.

    Draco lives his life by his Ministry mandated Mind Healer routines, and he is trying to get back to being Potter's left-hand man, but the cannonball to his careful regimen comes in the form of a very cranky Hermione Granger.

    Banter, fluff, eventual smut, an ensemble cast of friends and family and weddings and babies. Told in mostly Draco's POV, but the occasional random one, because who says Draco is the most reliable of narrators?

    It’s a character-driven slow burn.

    Summary

    Draco and Hermione are back for Eighth Year. The war has filled them with heated fury, and they love to take it out on each other. Hissed taunts in the hallways, obscenities whispered between classes- it's the only thing that makes them feel alive.

    When Lucius alerts Draco of his impending betrothal to Astoria Greengrass, the vapid bore, he can’t stomach the idea of marrying her. In a moment of crazed desperation, Draco turns to Hermione for help, proposing a marriage of convenience.

    Their union of fiery rage will keep him entertained; and the political influence and endless Malfoy vaults will fuel Hermione’s ambitions far more than any Ministry career ever could.

    Infuriated by their surprise marriage, Lucius disinherits Draco, barring his access to Malfoy Industries and the family’s political connections, forcing Draco and Hermione to flee London.

    It's been two years since anyone has seen them, but now they’re back, and Wizarding Britain is abuzz, speculating on what brought about the return of the Malfoys.

    No one knows for sure why they came back, but one thing is clear: the former foes have become partners, united in vengeance, and in marriage.

    Summary

    A loud groan escaped his lips and he turned back to his corner and started lightly banging his head against the wall repeatedly. 'You stupid, stupid, stupid ...

    Hermione scowled at him. 'Excuse me?!' She hissed.

    Draco sighed and braced his hand against the cold white walls. 'You stupid girl. I decided that you and your dimwitted friends were taking too long to end the war and that too much bloodshed had taken place to not be able to justify fixing the problem at its core.'
    His words floated through her mind, failing to take hold.
    Draco gave a frustrated sigh. 'I killed Tom.'
    Draco Malfoy had killed Tom Riddle.

    Summary

    After an exhausting stint at the Ministry and an awkward breakup with Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger impulsively quits her job and moves into a tiny flat above Diagon Alley’s new arts district. A late-night chat with Luna Lovegood lands her a job at The Greenhouse, Luna and Neville’s trendy coffee shop, where she proves to be a very mediocre barista. Their most difficult customer, Draco Malfoy, is quick to complain about every badly foamed latte and insists she should be fired. Hermione is stubborn, Malfoy is infuriating, and neither of them can seem to stay away.

    NOTE: This fic was remastered from its original version. Finished Oct 16 2025.
