Summary
When Hermione Granger’s private fanfiction about a certain brooding blond Slytherin mysteriously leaks to The Hogwarts Herald, she’s mortified. The whole school is obsessed. Draco Malfoy is amused.
But the real chaos begins when Hermione discovers her enchanted journal is linked to Draco’s—and he’s been reading her every word. Instead of returning it, he annotates her stories with snarky, flirty, and infuriating comments.
As their written banter turns into real-life tension, jealousy, and accidental romance, Hermione realizes she might just be falling for her worst critic.
And Draco? Well, he’s been hers since the first page.

Summary
“You,” she murmured, “repulse me.”
He leaned his head against the wall and let out a bark of laughter before his eyes met hers with animosity.“One day,” he snarled maliciously, “I’m going to marry the hell out of you, Granger.”
-- OR --
It's been 10 years since the war ended. After a self-imposed exile to his family's ancestral chateau in France, Draco Malfoy has successfully revitalized his family's French estate, including two vineyards, and become a wine tycoon in continental Europe. Ready to return to England, he is focused on bringing his wine business to the UK but finds that all of wizarding society is still terrified of his past. Finally heeding his parents' advice, he is open to finding a wife with a well-liked public image to soften his own.
Enter our Golden Girl, who has spent the last ten years heading up a nonprofit organization benefiting child survivors of the war. An initial success, it is now dangerously close to bankruptcy. Struggling to stay afloat and too stubborn to rely on anyone else, Hermione needs a miracle. She finds it in a former Death Eater who also happens to be her most detested former classmate.- Language:

Summary
Harry Potter and Hermione Granger aren’t friends. Until, suddenly, they are.
Now she’s everywhere: in the library, at his side, in his thoughts… and somehow, in that strange, tight feeling in his chest he can’t quite name. It’s distracting, inconvenient—definitely not helpful when he’s already on the verge of failing Potions and facing the wrath of his mum.
Good thing Hermione’s there to help him study.
Because that’s all this is. Studying. Right?
