    Summary

    Seven years ago, Hermione Granger gave evidence to the Wizengamot that helped keep Draco Malfoy out of Azkaban. Six years ago they completed their final year at Hogwarts - and since then there has been no contact between them. Hermione would be perfectly happy to keep it that way, but when a dangerous Dark object threatens the life of one of her dearest friends she has no choice but to seek Malfoy out and beg for his help.

    What she discovers when she finds him is not at all what she expected and now she's intrigued - intrigued and determined not to let him disappear again before she's managed to uncover his secret. A secret Draco definitely does not want her finding out.

    Summary

    When the Duke of Wiltshire hires Miss Hermione Granger to be the new governess for his young sister and his ward, they both assume it will be like any other post.

    The duke does not imagine a woman with an unknown past who makes the Manor's corrupted magic react the moment she steps foot on the grounds. And Hermione is not expecting one of her charges to be shrouded in mysteries that she feels compelled to solve, even though the duke continues to get in her way.

    Set against a dying Malfoy Manor, the launching of a young lady in her first Season, and a deepening medical mystery, our favorite couple is drawn together and may find love.

    But there is a problem, and it's even larger than their differences in station: the Manor is hungry, and it wants Hermione all for itself.

    Summary

    First, he stretches. Then, he exercises. He eats breakfast, and watches the street he lives on come to life -- the old man and his corgi, the baristas at the coffee shop, the woman who jogs, the daughter and father, and the Indian grocer all making their appearance. Then, he showers, shaves, dresses, and heads to his job as an Auror, where he has been on desk duty ever since he was pulled from the field because of The Incident.

    Draco lives his life by his Ministry mandated Mind Healer routines, and he is trying to get back to being Potter's left-hand man, but the cannonball to his careful regimen comes in the form of a very cranky Hermione Granger.

    Banter, fluff, eventual smut, an ensemble cast of friends and family and weddings and babies. Told in mostly Draco's POV, but the occasional random one, because who says Draco is the most reliable of narrators?

    It’s a character-driven slow burn.

    Summary

    Stepping out was the only brave thing he had ever done, and he hadn’t even hesitated. The only brave thing he had ever done, even if it might be his last. His future was his own again.

    It wasn’t to spite his parents. It was simply to have a choice.

    He could live with that.

    Perhaps he would even have to die with it.
