    Summary

    Every alliance has a cost.

     

    The war ended, the heroes won, and then the heroes became bureaucrats. Now, twelve years later, Hermione Granger is Britain’s last hope for reason.

     

    Then came the headline: THE MINISTER’S CHOICE?

    Then came the second photo.

    And Hermione Granger’s career went up in smoke—Britain’s golden girl, ruined in ink.

     

    Enter Draco Malfoy: war survivor turned corporate kingpin—richer, colder, infinitely more useful. His company, Silver Dominion Holdings, runs the newspapers, the Floo lines, and half the government.

     

    His proposal? A political marriage.

    His scandal-soaked name for her moral polish.

    His sin for her saintliness.

    Her good name for his credibility.

     

    The deal: three years. No affection. No exposure. Easy, right?

    Who’s using whom—and what happens when the contract starts to feel like truth?
