Summary
Draco Malfoy dies on a Wednesday.
Hermione Granger hates Wednesdays. Can’t imagine dying on one. Hump day. Middle of the week. Neither the weekend nor a particularly interesting weekday. There’s never anything exceptional to be excited about.
After the war, all Hermione Granger wants is to forget everything that happened and sink into her studies. Unfortunately for her, she stumbles upon something she’s not supposed to and gets stuck, forced to relive the day Draco Malfoy dies. To break free, she must join forces with her enemy and descend into a world governed by secret magical societies and discover the killer before it’s too late. Blood magic, rituals, secrets and lies — welcome to the Wizarding world’s dark underbelly. Not everyone can make it out alive.
A character study on life after war and the way it shapes us.

With more trouble cooking up than meets the eye, can Hermione get Draco — and herself — out of harm’s way?
The Ratatouille-meets-Halloweentown Dramione you never asked for, and maybe never knew you needed.

Summary
“There once was a boy who made all the wrong choices.”
Voldemort is dead… at least that’s what everyone thinks. A tale that spans over a decade, this is a story of innocence lost—for what happens when the hero becomes the villain? In the new Magical Empire, Harry Potter reigns supreme. The Statute of Wizarding Secrecy has been dissolved and Light and Dark must join forces to fight to freedom. But first… there’s something Ginny needs to remember.
A character study in power and the choices we make. (Slow backstory build up)
Draco’s lip curled and he went to release her. Without warning her fingers bunched into a fist, snatching his shirt making it impossible for him to move. He froze, unsure what to do as she stepped forward invading his personal space.
“I heard you,” Hermione whispered. “I heard you calling to me through the… whatever it was.” She inhaled, biting her lip. “I should have died. But you brought me back. That shouldn’t have been possible. Right?”

Summary
Draco Malfoy is not, necessarily, a good guy. Maybe he could have been, once, but he chose differently. Some (everyone) might say he chose wrong.
After years in Azkaban and an extended house arrest sentence, he is released unto a world that somehow has only gotten worse while he was away… and rather than fix it, he falls right into step.
Or does he?

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
In attempting to define a precise plan of action in response to the particular piece of unexpected news she had recently (six months still qualified as recent, in relative terms, didn’t it?) received, Hermione did the only thing she knew would calm the tornado which was currently whirling about her stomach.
She made a list.
Pro: Any traits a person could hope for in the father of one's offspring are admittedly present in the man who has assisted in creating this one.
Con: However many admirable traits he may possess, the aforementioned co-creator is still, to his detriment, Draco Malfoy- Language:

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?

Summary
The Marriage Law and Procreation Plan has just one goal: to produce magical children.
Draco is preparing to wed before he is matched, until he changes his mind at the last possible moment. Now he's bound to follow a law that would take away everything he's supposed to want and give him the one woman he could never have.
How does Draco cope with a match who is not thrilled by the prospect? How does he work his way into her heart and also her pants by the Ministry-imposed deadline? And what on earth is he supposed to do about the fact that he's never actually done anything like this before?
Join Draco on his adventure to win over Hermione Granger, despite the marriage law she hates and every other inconvenience life throws at them. Marriage is never easy, but Draco is up for the challenge.
Featuring a BAMF Hermione Granger and a Very Good Boy Draco Malfoy who is only slightly (okay very) intimidated by his wife.

Summary
How much control does she actually have over this narrative? Ginny refuses to be the hero’s prize at the end of his trials. She wants to obliterate that old inner voice of hers, the one that had smothered her under the guise of survival:
Don't be emotional, don't nag, don't be the needy, weepy love interest who begs the boy to stay with her. You're a distraction, you're a liability, you're collateral. Know your place.
Ginny is so tired. But she’s always found her comfort in chaos.

Summary
It’s not until she’s brought a basil and strawberry sponge cake to Neville Longbottom and his new girlfriend, Hannah Abbott, a dozen rhubarb hand-pies to Luna and Xenophilius Lovegood, and another basket of ganache-covered muffins to Dean and Seamus, that Hermione admits to herself what she’s actually doing: she’s making a thing of this. It’s a veritable PTSD tour. With pastries. And hand-skimmed clotted cream. And she has no idea why she’s doing it, but it’s becoming very apparent that she is.
Sometimes you're sad. Sometimes you need dessert. And sometimes, it's a little of both.
