Hermione Granger thought life would be different after leaving Hogwarts. She tried her best to move on from the war, but it isn’t the memories of battle that haunt her. It's memories of eighth year—a pair of grey eyes and a hidden church—that linger in her mind.

Summary
No one had seen or heard from Draco Malfoy in ten years. Sentenced to two years in Azkaban after the war, he was pulled out after six months by the Ministry with a deal: go undercover to hunt down the remaining Death Eaters or serve the rest of his time. He chose the mission, and when it was over… chose to stay undercover.
Now living as Luke Richards, a deep-cover Auror in the DMLE, Draco has spent a decade hiding behind someone else’s face. Only a handful of people know who he really is, and he prefers it that way. But when he’s assigned to protect Hermione Granger from a series of escalating threats, everything starts to change. What begins as a case becomes something far more dangerous: an unraveling of the life he once gave everything to protect. He might even have a chance to become the man he was meant to be—if he’s brave enough to stop hiding.
A slow burn, post-war action/romance told from Draco’s POV. It features a mystery, angst, redemption, and a witch that changes everything.

Summary
There once was a world so wounded, its magic was depleted, its schools became training grounds, and its children became things to barter with.
There once was a boy poised for power and a girl born in a Reclamation Zone who found out where magic really lives.

Summary
It’s 1999. The war is over.
The world has moved on. Hermione Granger has not.
She arrives in Brisbane a shadow of herself—adrift in a city that is not home, with parents who do not understand her, waiting for letters that never come. She has been unraveling, slowly and methodically, and not a soul has noticed.
Until she sees him.
Draco Malfoy. A war criminal. A fugitive. Working in a Muggle pub under an assumed name, carving out a quiet, anonymous life at the edge of the world.
The chances of them ever crossing paths again were infinitesimal. He should have run the moment she recognized him. But he doesn’t.
And he just keeps showing up.
It isn’t fate, but it feels like it. It isn’t easy but they can’t seem to let go of each other.
It isn’t simple. It isn’t safe. But against all logic, it becomes something that will leave traces on them both forever.
A slow-burn enemies-to-lovers story about exile, identity, reinvention, and the messy, painful, nonlinear nature of healing.

Summary
“Have I seen you here before? You look familiar.”
“That’s funny,” Hermione said in a tone that implied the opposite. “Perhaps we’ve met. My name is…” Long sigh as she recalled the codename she’d been assigned. “Jane Moneysickle.”
“I’m Union,” said Malfoy, grinning. “James Union.”
She rolled her eyes. Malfoy remained far too pleased with himself. Whoever had shown him the 007 movies was going to get a terse memo on Monday.
“Let’s get a drink,” he suggested, as though that weren’t part of the plan he’d hatched a week prior.
—
Hermione and Malfoy are on a stakeout.
Things do not go as planned.
