    Summary

    No Dark Lord. No war. Just a world where blood supremacy rules openly.

    In this Britain, the Malfoys are the power.

    And Hermione Granger—a Muggle-born in a hostile Ministry—survives by logic alone.

    When a pure-blood patriarch dies inside a locked room, the Ministry wants a scapegoat.
    But Hermione sees the flaw everyone else missed.
    To uncover the truth, she’s forced to seek help from the one wizard who should be her enemy twice over:

    Draco Malfoy.

    The untouchable heir of the ruling class.
    A ruthless political operator seizing power in the Ministry, who treats alchemy as a mere pastime.
    And the other half of a cold case that belongs only to them:

    A disastrous winter night in Sixth Year they both interpreted differently—and have avoided ever since.

    Now, what begins as a reluctant collaboration spirals into something far more dangerous—
    a conspiracy rooted deep in the foundations of wizarding Britain, where bloodlines are currency and truth is a threat.

    A Muggle-born woman and a pure-blood heir forced into an alliance that could remake the world…or burn them both alive.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger stops moving around Europe to finally settle down in London in a magical consulting firm, expecting a fair amount of serious work and occasional happy hours with clients. But what she does not expect is the firm downstairs neighbour, an art gallery, to be run by Draco Malfoy.

    Between accidentally lingering looks, shared exhaustion, and unspoken baggage, they’re navigating a whole lot more than work and art. Slow-burn romance, a touch of PTSD, and a surprising amount of wine ensue.

    Summary

    He’d sent her the message via owl. Hermione understood why when she slipped the piece of parchment out of its envelope and read it.

    Hermione,

    If you send for me, you know I'll come.

    Harry

    He was giving her time to consider his offer. There was less of a sense of urgency in responding to his owl than what she would have felt if he'd texted instead. And she was grateful to him for thinking of it.

    Or Harry and Hermione's friendship is tested when she presents as an omega, and he just so happens to be an alpha.

    Summary

    After the war, Hermione Granger rebuilds her life quietly: running a small apothecary called Sage at Diagon Alley, healing where she can, and researching impossible cures in the hope of repairing the damage the war left behind. Draco Malfoy, now a single father determined to break the legacy he inherited, is doing his best to raise Scorpius and stay far from the remnants of his past as an auror in France.

    But when a long-buried blood curse resurfaces, Scorpius becomes its next target. Meanwhile, scattered whispers of Antonin Dolohov’s return begin to stir in Britain, pulling dark forces out of dormancy and threatening to reignite a war that never fully died: it's time for the Malfoys to come back home.

    Driven together by necessity, Hermione and Draco enter a reluctant partnership to decipher the curse, develop a cure, and protect the boy caught at the heart of it. What begins as obligation becomes trust; what begins as fear becomes tenderness; what begins as survival slowly, inevitably, becomes love.

    A slow burn Dramione about healing, second chances, found family, dangerous research, and the quiet miracle of choosing someone even when the world tries to tear you back into who you used to be.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger is stationed at a remote site in the Scottish north, continuing her classified Ministry work brewing counteragents to dark magic. The solitude suits her and the secrecy suits the research. The only complication is Draco Malfoy.

    He serves as her field security - a Hit Wizard on probation who says little, gives less away, and refuses to make interpretation convenient. He is nothing like the boy she remembers, and everything like a man determined to keep his distance.

    Their arrangement should be straightforward: she works on her potions; he fortifies her wards. But something strange starts to take root, and it’s not just the herbs in her greenhouse.

    If you’re looking for a story driven by plot or high-stakes action, you won’t find it here. This is a character study of a young Hermione Granger learning how to navigate adulthood, ambition, and the slow, bewildering business of falling for a man who isn’t who he used to be.

    Summary

    The war is over –– but the damage remains.
    When Ginny Potter begins to lose her magic to a mysterious, fatal illness, Hermione Granger turns to the last person she ever expected to trust: Draco Malfoy.
    What begins as a secret partnership born of desperation slowly becomes something gentler –– and far more dangerous. Because healing is never simple, and love rarely arrives the way you expect it to.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts expecting professionalism, Potions classes, and a quiet life in the dungeons.

    What he doesn’t quite expect is Hermione Granger: brilliant, fractured, and impossible to stop loving - or the comfort of old friendships that never quite let him go.

    A soft, post-war Christmas one-shot about found family, timing, and finally choosing to stop postponing what matters.

    Summary

    After the war, Hermione Granger can’t move from the death of a man she was meant to hate. She is haunted by Snape's murder. The grief is so painful she will do anything to be free of it, even build a time-turner strong enough to break time itself.

    Summary

    July 1997. The Order is scrambling, Harry just escaped by the skin of his teeth from the Dursley's, and Hermione Granger has a checklist to finish before they leave school to defeat Voldemort:

    1. Keep Harry Potter breathing.
    2. Hunt down the Horcruxes.
    3. Experience sex (preferably before dying).

    Fred Weasley was calculated to be the variable of least resistance. He was supposed to be a stress-reliever, keeper of secrets, and a one-time thing. But when a tactical retreat turns into months of hiding, that "one-time thing" becomes a lifeline. Hermione realizes that she forgot to account for two things: the undeniable chaos of hormones and even the best laid plans can go awry.

    Summary

    When Theodore Nott vanishes without warning, Hermione Granger becomes a reluctant participant in Draco Malfoy’s relentless search. No one seems to remember the missing—at least not for long. As she and Draco form an uneasy alliance, they keep hearing one name: Pax, a secretive group of wizards obsessed with weaponizing time itself—sending Draco and Hermione back to high-society London in 1924.

    Strange dreams haunt Draco Malfoy. Reality slips. A woman named Annwn—he knows her—and it terrifies him. The whispers of high society keep Draco and Hermione apart—and a courtship forms. The search for Pax draws them into a mystery far more dangerous than they could ever imagine. Wizards are vanishing through magical means never seen before in a conspiracy that threatens the very foundations of magic, all while Draco is consumed by echoes of a life he may have already lived.

    Their partnership is reluctant. Time is running out. Draco will have to choose: follow the threads of a past he doesn’t understand, or stay in the present that is rapidly changing and slipping away. When disappearances are never accidents, and time remembers what you forgot… how do you hold onto one life when another keeps calling you back?

    Summary

    What can go wrong with a hungry blood magic fertility goddess altar? Absolutely nothing, of course. Absolutely no suppressed lust will be uncovered. Absolutely no shameless smut will follow.

    Her name became a growl as she freed the lower buttons and raked her nails across his abdomen, feeling the muscles contract under her touch. She tried to push her hand into his trousers.

    “Right. Right. Time to get creative.” He was breathing hard now, pupils blown. “Bloody hell, they never taught us at Hogwarts what to do with magically aroused witches who can't consent. They bloody well should have, with all those love potions circulating. Should be an entire N.E.W.T.-level course—oh, fuck—”

    Summary

    When a newly resurrected Ministry marriage mandate announces that Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are a perfect magical match according to an ancient spell (dusted off by morons), Hermione does the sensible thing: she assumes the spell is wrong and prepares to tear the Ministry apart at the seams.

    Unfortunately, the spell is magically and legally binding.

    Now Hermione—cursebreaker extraordinaire, workaholic, and part-time harbinger of bureaucratic doom—is forced to cohabitate with the one wizard she absolutely refuses to find attractive while she prepares to annihilate the Ministry in court, in public opinion, and possibly in small controlled fires. All the while, Draco Malfoy goes from mildly intrigued to catastrophically besotted in record time.

    As Hermione plots the downfall of the Ministry's heinous legislation and Draco tries (and fails) not to make heart eyes at his new wife, they discover that the spell might know something they don’t.

    A comedy of errors, enemies-to-lovers chaos, magical academia shenanigans, and sexual tension so thick it could be classified as a solid.

    Summary

    Some clocks keep time. Others remember what time forgot.

    Nearly a decade after the war, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, both curse breakers bound by uneasy partnership, are sent to investigate Gwynn Manor, a house where every clock still beats with grief, pain, and trapped magic. Within its decaying walls, time has splintered, preserving echoes of a Muggleborn clockmaker and his children, lost to the first war.

    As Hermione and Draco untangle the enchantments that hold the manor in thrall, their reluctant alliance deepens into friendship… and something far more difficult to name.

    In confronting the ghosts of others, they must face their own haunted pasts and the impossible hope that something good might still be rebuilt. A story of memory, forgiveness, and the slow alchemy of love.

    Summary

    Hermione is going to drag the wizarding world into the 21st century, whether it wants it or not (and it most certainly doesn't).

    Step one: build a secret empire.


    There was an enormous vacuum in the magical world, and Hermione Granger's brain simply itched to fill it.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy is joining his classmates back at Hogwarts for a Ministry-Mandated 8th year post-war. The 8th years, in the spirit of inner house unity, have been removed from their houses, and placed into a combined house and dorm with the other 8th year students forced to return. Hating his predicament, his father, and his own reflection, he is forced to confront his wrong-doings while working to figure out who he is. He enjoys the shadows he's created for himself over the past two years, and doesn't have any intentions of letting them go.
    Hermione Granger never came back from the war, not really. Everyone finds out quickly that she's stuck in her head, fighting her trauma, the pain of her scars the war inflicted, and the weight of her status as "Golden Girl." Hermione is a reckless mess in the dark, and afraid of being inspected too closely in the light.
    When Draco and Hermione are paired together for the 8th year practicum, no one knows what to think, other than shit is about to hit the fan. Will they help each other heal, or prolong the hurt?

    Summary

    He let a few seconds pass, purely to look as though he were considering it. In truth, he enjoyed the rare moment of her waiting on him.
    “If that happens,” he said at last, voice steady, “I’ll come directly to you, and you can fix me properly. Break me into pieces and put me back together.”
    ••••
    Draco Malfoy has survived a war, a couple of identity crises, several spectacularly poor decisions, and one Dark Lord.
    He thought himself finally free of obligations he never wanted—only to discover that his accidental hobbies now include: realising the family business was almost certainly illegal, blowing himself up in his own study, and pretending all of this is perfectly normal while constructing a morally-improved smuggling ring for Dark objects.
    Enter Healer Hermione Granger: competent, exhausted, terrifyingly unimpressed, and—tragically—present for every single one of his disasters.
    Draco absolutely does not fall in love.
    He merely trips, spirals, denies everything, and insists he’s perfectly fine while growing up against his will.
