Summary
10 years after the War, and deep in the Department of Mysteries, something is stirring. The Wizengamot, predictably, decides to make it Everybody's Business.

A realistic take on marriage law featuring dramatic existentialism, judgmental jewelry and a society that just won't forget that one time where the upper class got a bit murder-y.
This started as a loose tribute to the film Moonstruck and got increasingly out of hand.

Summary
The first time Draco Malfoy picks his son up from the school’s nativity rehearsal, Hermione expects she’s in trouble. She hasn’t seen him in 10 years and clearly, much has changed. Now, they’re both divorced, their five-year-olds are best friends and, though she prides herself on being unflappable, her good sense seems about to fly South for the winter…
Back at Malfoy Manor, the Master has brought half the grounds in with him. With the Christmas party coming it’s the last of Gammy’s worries. He does wish Master Draco would stop behaving so oddly, but then again, if there was anything Gammy, Personal Elf to the Master of the Malfoy Household, was accustomed to… it was oddities.
This fic was written for A Very Merry Daddy Knows Best 2024

Summary
When Draco Malfoy returns to England, all he wants is a quiet place to live.
A three-month lease on a fully furnished London flat seems ideal—private, temporary, and uncomplicated. At least, it does until Hermione Granger appears in the study and demands to know what he’s doing in her home.
There is only one problem.
Hermione Granger is semi-transparent.
Objects pass through her hands. No one but Draco can see her. And Hermione, being Hermione, refuses to accept that she is dead, spectral, or anything else quite so inconvenient.
Forced into an uneasy arrangement, the two begin searching for answers: what happened to Hermione, why she is trapped in her own flat, and why Draco is the only person who can reach her.
But the mystery soon leads them toward old magic, a dangerous artefact, and a curse that feels less like a haunting than a fairy tale gone terribly wrong.
With no one else able to see her, Hermione has no choice but to rely on the last person she ever expected. And Draco, who only wanted quiet, finds himself haunted by the one woman impossible enough to make him want something more.

Summary
Hermione Granger, returning to Hogwarts after the War without Harry and Ron by her side, wants nothing more than a quiet, peaceful final year at school. Instead, she winds up with two new friends. One of them is an anonymous, charming penpal that only goes by the name of Romeo. The other is Draco Malfoy, who is far more companionable (and far more handsome) than she ever gave him credit for.
To her dismay, she develops crushes on both of them at the same time.
(Spoiler: It's less of a problem than she thinks it is.)

Summary
The war is over, but the wizarding community remains divided. Hermione returns to school without her two closest friends and with a ministry mandate hanging over her head, aimed at healing the fractured post-war world. Magical cores will be opened by way of a potion, compatible magic will reseal them and unexpected pairs will be bound without consideration of anyone's past or their sides in the war. And no one has a choice in the matter - of course, this means Hermione will be the last one to find her match. Unless...

Summary
But Draco was still looking at the girl with the covetous gaze that all Malfoy men wore when they knew something belonged to them.
This was different, though. There was something else here that was not Malfoy. Not even Black. It was unique to him. It was the same wild-eyed and excited expression he had when he brought home his gifts and sparked with magic no one so young should have. Magic that tasted like ozone and petrichor and fate.
Narcissa knew, then.
She braced herself.
or, Draco is born cursed and stricken by a violent, magical Wind that comes bearing gifts, even when he is sentenced to Azkaban. None of that has anything to do with why Hermione Granger pays him a visit.

Summary
Draco and Hermione are stranded on a deserted island.
“Take your eyes off me,” she whispered, affronted.
He did not. He continued to read her like a well-worn book, filled with familiar words and phrases that bewitched.
“Stop looking at me like that,” she desperately licked her lips.
“Like what?” Draco murmured.
“Like you’ve suddenly just met me,” she explained. “Like we don’t have a past.”- Language:
