Summary
“Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”
The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.
Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.
Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.
[This story begins in third year and updates Sundays and Tuesdays.]

Summary
Sixteen years post-war, Draco Malfoy has reinvented himself: Head Auror of the French Ministry, internationally respected, hero-adjacent, and absolutely not still a security risk (depending on who you ask). So when Harry Potter lures him back to Britain with the promise of power, prestige and MILD public outrage, Draco's only question is: how bad could it possibly be?
Hermione Granger-Weasley is the Ministry's golden girl: war hero, legal prodigy, and the woman most likely to stabilise the government before her second cup of coffee. With Shacklebolt stepping down ahead of the November elections and two dangerously mediocre men circling the job like vultures, Hermione is the obvious - and reluctantly willing - successor. Backed by a few loyal allies, a lot of policy and a marriage that looks respectable (if you squint), she doesn't have time for distractions. Especially not in the form of Draco Malfoy: smug, silver-tongued, and recently hired into her orbit like a bad decision in expensive tailoring. Unfortunately he's infuriatingly competent. And even more unfortunately - he agrees with her.
OR how did Hermione Granger become Minister for Magic and how the fuck did Malfoy get roped into this deluded shit show.

Summary
“Congratulations, Mommy.”
“Gods,” she laughs, feeling silly now. “Do you think they really call each other that?”
Draco gives her one of those lazy hums, smiling at her laughter. “It’s sort of fun.”
“But truly,” she says, still amused, breath teetering, “Daddy? I mean, come on.”
Or: Hermione attends a baby shower. It is a singularly bad experience. Until it isn't.

Summary
Hermione Granger's fresh start is going wonderfully.
Right up until she realizes Draco Malfoy lives in the apartment across from hers.
Between late-night insomnia, open curtains, and an alarming lack of self-control where minding their own business is concerned, what begins as innocent curiosity quickly spirals into mutual obsession.
After all, it's hard not to watch your neighbor.
Especially when your neighbor is Draco Malfoy.
