    Summary

    Hermione could see it in Malfoy's eyes—the absolute certainty that he would tear through every person here to get to her. The boy who'd once hesitated to kill Dumbledore was gone. In his place stood someone who'd crossed lines that couldn't be uncrossed.

    He extended his hand, palm up. Both an invitation and a command. "Come home now. Willingly."

    Home. As if the manor had ever been that. As if she belonged there. As if she belonged to him.

    Instead Hermione placed her hand in his and let him guide her toward his army of Inferi.

    ***

    Lord Protector. The title was a masterstroke of propaganda. Voldemort had done the unthinkable and reinvented himself. His Death Eaters were now 'Aurors,' their silver skulls replaced by Ministry insignia. They were the law.

    Meanwhile, Auror Draco Malfoy fights a desperate battle against a Veela pledge that's slowly consuming his sanity.

    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

    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

    Hermione of Velathyr. The prophecy had named her long before the princess was born: she was the one who would be devoured by the patron dragon.

    Twenty-four heads had rolled for the sin of coveting her hand. But when a mysterious wanderer arrives at the coliseum—cleverer than any suitor before him, cleverer than even her—Hermione has only three days to decide her fate.

    "'Say it, Your Highness. Say my name."

    His eyes were the exact shade of the sacred silver that decorated every altar in Velathyr.

    In her gut, she already knew.

    Dragon.
