Summary
When you put down your quill, you remain the same opinionated, intelligent, determined person who writes me these letters. You don’t hide yourself; the world has hidden you.
As for me—I set mine down and pick up a mask, and I wear it until I can’t remember how to take it off.
Do I hate what I’ve become? Maybe. Does that matter? Will that absolve me?
Am I fooling myself or you?
-Your enemy, I think

Summary
Draco looked miserably at the low ceilings and stone walls of what were apparently going to be his living quarters at Hogwarts. The rooms were minuscule. He made one last effort. “I understand that living in the castle is a tradition here, but professors at Beauxbatons—”
Granger glared at him, arms crossed and hip cocked. In her sensible heels, she was exactly his height, yet they did not see eye to eye. “Let me guess, Professor Malfoy: you skied down to the campus every morning from your mansion above the clouds? And a dozen elf-made croissants awaited you in an office the size of a ballroom?”
“Oh, you’ve been, then?”
“This is your suite. Happy housewarming. Goodbye.” She whirled away, heels clicking on the stone floor.
Draco was left grumbling to no one, a state he found himself in after nearly every interaction with the Director of Hogwarts.
—
In which Draco Malfoy obtains his dream job at Hogwarts, and Hermione Granger obtains a Problem.

Summary
Every terrible moment in his life, Draco thought about how one of the most powerful potions in existence curled up and around others like opalescent smoke, pulsing bright and thick like ichor, beckoning and enticing everyone…but.
Him.
Nothing.
Draco deserved this.
or, for some reason Amortentia has no scent for Draco. It's something he considers a terrible flaw and believes it's proof he lacks the capacity to feel romantic love.
But everything is fine. (narrator: everything was not fine.)

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
Hermione Granger (thirty-something, zero tolerance for nonsense) is running a project so classified even the Minister keeps out. Draco Malfoy (thirty-something, brilliant Auror, inconvenient perk: can turn into a ferret at will) works best in the dark.
On a rainy night, a white ferret shows up under a box. Hermione says “just for tonight.” Sure.
Between stakeouts, coffee, misunderstandings, and a flat that’s starting to feel like mission control… beware the ferret.- Language:
