Summary
It's eight years after the war and Hermione Granger has taken a break from her career at the Ministry of Magic to compile an oral history of the conflict. She's interviewed just about everyone she can get her hands on but she wants to be thorough. And that means getting in contact with a very unwilling Lucius Malfoy.

"For your information, I'm not shopping it around yet because I still don’t have access to all of the sources I need.”
“You’ve got to be joking. You must have interviewed every living person that was even tangentially connected to the war.”
“Not everyone,” Hermione said, turning in her seat to reach up for the mug of tea she’d left on the kitchen counter.
“Who’s left? The trolley lady from the Hogwarts Express?”
“Your father.”
Malfoy opened his mouth and then closed it again with a click of his teeth, shaking his head. “You don’t want to do that, Granger.”

Summary
This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.
It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).
That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.
Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.

Summary
Hermione hesitated, searching for the words as her throat went dry. “You asked how I knew your name...I know who you are because I’ve seen your picture in the Potter’s cottage thousands of times. There was an explosion, you disappeared from your flat—this flat.”
She took a shaky breath. “You’ve been gone nearly twenty years, Sirius.”-------------------------------
When Hermione Granger couldn’t find anything to fit her meager Ministry budget, she begrudgingly accepted the keys to Remus and Sirius’ old flat, never expecting to find her future in a man who disappeared twenty years before.- Language:

Summary
Cursed objects are causing death and destruction. When the objects themselves are found to hold no trace of Dark Magic, the Department of Magical Artefacts is stumped.
Draco Malfoy leant back in his chair and crossed his arms in bafflement. “And your professional assessment is that the best way of gathering evidence is sending Granger and I together to a sex club?”
“Worried about your reputation, Malfoy?” Hermione asked flatly.
He scoffed. "Hardly. If I were outed for going to an expensive parisian sex den it would be considered very much on brand.”
"That's why it’s so important we’re believable as a couple. We should talk about touching,” Hermione insisted.
"Touching," Draco repeated, alarm bells going off in his mind.
"As in how much of it you're okay with, where…"
"Casual touching," he nodded.
"But also, passionate touching," Granger pressed.
Merlin’s beard. Draco was quickly coming to the realisation that he was likely to regret this.
