Summary
She’d been distracted reading through the latest draft of her policy reform while walking toward the end of the queue in the Ministry refectory when suddenly she was no longer going forward but sideways and down. She yelped, scrabbling to catch herself before realizing that a pair of strong hands had already arrested her motion and she was sitting.
“Mind where you’re going, Granger,” came a teasing drawl and she realized instantly that she’d found herself back on Draco’s lap.

Summary
He contained his surprise at seeing her with a singular blink, expression shifting into something restrained and polite, and her heart sank down to her toes at the perpetual disinterest. She let herself feel a measure of relief, hopeful that he’d move along and be out of sight for whenever her date arrived. The greeting was sure to be an awkward one and she cringed at the idea of Malfoy witnessing her on a blind date.
But he hadn’t looked away. In fact, when the maître d’ approached, Malfoy simply flicked his eyes to him with a polite smile and slight shake of the head before turning them straight back to her.
And then he was walking toward her and drawing out the opposite chair and sitting, banishing any doubts she’d had about the identity of her blind date.

Summary
They shared a moment of eye contact, and then a simultaneous sip.
His lips were curled by the shape of the goblet and then by the hint of a smile that lingered when he drew the vessel away.
“Princess,” he greeted, voice low and private, just for her.
The touch of it warmed the air between them. The cool grey of his eyes made her shiver.
“Prince,” she returned demurely.

Summary
The guest list, when he passed it to her, was surprising.
So much so that she set her morning tea aside to give first it and then him a good looking over.
“Really?” she remarked skeptically. “These are who you’d invite?”
“It’s your birthday.” Leaned back in his chair, an ankle over his opposite knee, he was the picture of nonchalance. “Wouldn’t you want your friends to be there?”

Summary
When Draco stumbles upon a particularly nasty curse at work, Hermione's Friday evening plans suddenly go from a hot bath and a good book to staying late to help research a countercurse.
But Draco's ache only grows as the evening goes on. The pain and agony won't relent.
So Hermione offers to help him out. After all, it's what any good colleague would do.

“I only meant, is there someone you could call? Someone you’re with, who could…”
Draco laughs. The sound is harsh. “If I were seeing someone, do you think I’d still be sitting here with you instead of buried deep inside her right now?”
