Summary
Becoming best friends with Pansy Parkinson was not something Hermione saw coming.
Her carefully ordered life is turned upside down when Pansy discovers just how tragically single she is and appoints herself Hermione’s matchmaker in chief. There’s just one problem: Pansy is hell bent on setting her up with Draco Malfoy.
Clearly, Pansy has lost the plot if she ever thinks that could work.
But then she runs into Draco again and realises he’s nothing like she remembers. He’s charming, kind and annoyingly attractive.
Could Pansy actually be onto something here? Or will this be a total disaster?
“How is me being perpetually single wonderful?”
“Because,” said Pansy slowly, as if she was explaining something to a toddler. “It means I get to fix this for you.”
“No! Absolutely not. I forbid it. I can’t have you meddling about in my love life… it’s too embarrassing.”
Pansy laughed so hard she nearly spilled her drink all over the table. “You forbid it? Oh I’d like to see you try, darling.”

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
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
“Hermione, I don’t think Malfoy has been teasing or insulting you. I think…” Ginny rolled her tongue in her mouth, struggling to speak the next words: “I think he was trying to court you.”
“What? No!"
-
Hermione is determined to smile through Malfoy’s blatant taunting without biting his head off.
Draco is delighted that Hermione responds well to his courtship instead of biting his head off.

Summary
Draco Malfoy has never been redeemed. He’s simply been patient.
Hermione Granger ruined his chances of being the top of their class, outshone him at every turn, and then—like the perfect, insufferable angel she was—saved his family from Azkaban. She was a Mudblood, and she was better than him. That contradiction marked him forever.
For the past seven years, he has played the long game. He became respectable in her eyes, carved out a role for himself at the DMLE, and slowly, carefully, made himself indispensable. He became her confidant, her best friend. He cultivated every part of their friendship—curated what she needed, what she liked, what she deserved.
Because Hermione is exceptional. She’s brilliant, sharp, devastatingly capable. And no one around her—not her fiancé, not her friends—ever made her feel like she was more than a burden to forgive or a standard to resent.
Draco doesn’t just see her. He feeds the pride she’s always been told to swallow. And he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her into the world where she belongs—his world.
Because she deserves better.
And she deserves him.
