Summary
Five years after the war, Hermione Granger has very little time for something like a relationship. She's far too busy trying to run the Bureau for Endangered Creatures efficiently, dealing with budget cuts and ignorant ministry officials and finding a way to somehow restore her parents' memories, who are still in Australia and none the wiser about the existence of their daughter.
When she discovers that the Wizengamot plans to use Draco Malfoy as a scapegoat whilst dealing with elusive Voldemort loyalists, she offers to testify for him. She's not quite sure how it led to her trying on wedding dresses under the watchful eye of Narcissa Malfoy.

Hermione Granger and the Art of Going Unnoticed by letterheaded

Summary
Hermione Granger, war heroine and brightest witch of her age, is sick and tired of being famous. Luckily for her, she finds a spell to hide her from the prying eyes of crazed fans, peers who can't seem to do their own work, and impromptu love declarations from pesky Slytherins.
But there's only one problem; Draco Malfoy just can't help but see her.
A slow-ish burn Hogwarts Eighth Year AU, featuring an angry Hermione Granger, slightly unrealistic magical charm extensions, chaotic Slytherins, and unhinged sexual escapades.
This work is inspired by the dynamic between Fleabag and the Priest in the TV series Fleabag (in particular, his ability to tell when she's breaking the fourth wall) - you don't need to have seen the show to understand.

Summary
“Well?” Hermione rolled her shoulders back and stood in what she deemed to be a more kissable stance within the coat closet before gesturing toward him. “Go on then.”
Draco’s face twisted in incredulous confusion. “We’re not actually going to kiss. You do know that, right?”
---
OR: Draco doesn't want to kiss Hermione during a game night, and she's fairly certain there's more to it than the reason he gave.

Summary
“In my humble opinion there’s only three things that men should be and that is bloody, slutty, and pathetic.” And, on a good day, Draco Malfoy can be all three.
When war heroine Hermione Granger and Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy are forced to wed as part of Shacklebolt’s controversial Reconciliation Act, they openly fight the match and each other—their public brawls breathlessly reported by the press.
Secretly, a deeply traumatized Draco delights in Hermione’s attention and pines for a real marriage with her—even as her forced proximity to the Black family magic irritates the cursed scar Bellatrix left on her arm, reminding her why she can never truly trust or forgive him. Then Hermione discovers that Draco’s blood will soothe the scar . . . and Draco is willing to trade his blood for her body.
(With post-war blood purity politics, black market potioneers, Pansy Parkinson’s career advice, the Malfoys blackmailing Hermione’s Wizengamot opposition, BDE Neville Longbottom hunting Death Eaters, a slutty Theo Nott serving as Draco’s right-hand man, and Crookshanks loose in Malfoy Manor.)

Summary
NEW AUTHOR NOTE (as at 01 June 2025) - there will be no explanation, there will just be MMAM!
Kidding, but Taylor reference is always called for. I shall explain - this fic will remain up online for the time being. My book (At the Mercy of Midnight), being published 09 August 2025, is so far removed from this fic in many ways (it is not a rewrite etc), that I feel comfortable leaving this fic as is to stand on its own feet until a time where I no longer wish for it to be available online. Xx love to all
I'm available for chats on TikTok: @awritersproject and Instagram: @infinitybooks
Synopsis:
When Hermione Granger is accidentally cut by an old Malfoy Family Heirloom, a matrimonial blade, an ancient magic seems to think she is betrothed to the last Malfoy heir, and begins to pull her into Draco’s bed every night, at midnight.
A non-epilogue compliant Dramione fan fiction.
Binding queries: all binding requests of this fic have my blanket consent as long as they are for personal use only, with no intent to profit off the bind whatsoever.
