Summary
Ten years after The Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger is burnt out. A dead end job with a boss who hates her, reporters who can’t decide if she’s a slut or a spinster, and a famous ex the wizarding world just adores. Bouncing back and forth between her current state and a forced 8th year, Hermione is unsure of what she is doing with her life. The decisions she made to end the war didn’t include her surviving it. And now, she finds herself suffering the consequences. Twists of fate keep having her cross paths with Draco Malfoy and his own secrets. With dark wizards turning up, everyone they know getting married, and that one time she bled out in his foyer, she knows she wants Draco, but the publicity could spill all of her secrets.

Summary
Nine years ago, Hermione Granger created a plan to become Minister of Magic by the time she turned 60. As part of that plan she knew she needed a husband and two children to convince the public to support her.
She is now approaching her thirty-fourth birthday and is still single, though not for lack of trying. She's questioning her dating methodology as friends grow distant, her parents age, her fertile years are peaking, and the professional goals she created at twenty-five are starting to become harder to cling to. She knows she needs something to change, but that's easier said than done when Draco Malfoy won't leave her the fuck alone.
As for Draco, there's nothing quite as alluring as an angry Hermione Granger, and that's why he's been teasing her for the last ten years. It's only when he comes up with his best idea yet - and gets himself assigned as her security detail for an event that absolutely does not require it - that he starts to peel back the layers and sees her for who she really is. She's more than just a beautiful witch with a fierce temper. She's flawed, lonely, and starting to burn out.
Draco knows he can help. He just needs to her to say yes first.

Summary
“What are you making?”
“I’m begging you to go away.” He says coldly, still not looking up.
Hermione begins to feel it, begins to feel the tickle of energy in her fingers, her breath picking up. She wants it. She wants to play with fire. “I didn’t know Death Eaters begged.”
Then she’s on her back on the table, her breath knocked out of her and Malfoy’s barreling down on her, his hand around her throat.
“Careful Granger,” he growls, “you’re saying the quiet part out loud. We’re all supposed to be making amends, aren’t we?” His voice drips with sarcasm, cruel and sharp as a blade. His fingers are tight around her neck, squeezing, but… but not pressing inwards, avoiding her windpipe.
Hermione and Draco struggle after years of fighting for their lives to live in peace... but the instinct to fight hasn't quite died. She's got aches only firewhiskey can mend and an assignment that'll be the death of her: castle restoration. Will she survive a world that she doesn't feel like she fits into anymore? Does she want to?

Summary
In which Draco has a rip roaring crush on Hermione for the first four years of school. Then Fifth year arrives and it seems she might return his affections.
So what does he do? Naturally, he lures her (in a romantic way of course) into an alcove, magically glues her in place and kisses her until she's dizzy.
This is their love story. It's full of magic, humour and growing together. Of adventures, mischief and silliness around Hogwarts, cosy and tucked away from the rest of the world. This story is all their little moments; falling in love, falling apart, broken through the war and back again for Eighth year, and everything else In Between.
Featuring: a smart, ultra competent Hermione Granger who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it,Soft, cinnamon roll Draco Malfoy who's completely head over heels for Hermione and is prepared to break all sorts of rules to spend time with his witch
Ultimate wingman Blaise Zabini. He's also a mother hen
Theo Nott making bets and badges. He's here for the chaos
Oblivious Potter (but he has suspicions)
Tiny bit of Ron Weasley bashing but also Ron Weasley redemption (and I redeem him so good!)
