    Summary

    The ghosts of Hermione’s past have risen, and they carry with them a message: Come home, come home, to where it all began. Driven to the cusp of sanity by a curse without a name, Hermione has no choice but to obey.

    It’s silent as the grave in Wiltshire, and the manor stands nearly empty save for a dying woman and her reclusive son. But something stirs in Malfoy Manor that shouldn’t be there. Something with teeth.

    And when she walks at night, she doesn't walk alone.

    Summary

    At the very cusp of a much-longed-for shift in their friendship, Hermione Granger vanished. Draco Malfoy, ever-devoted and painstakingly adept at dismantling mysteries, would spend the next seven years and a day seeking for his disappeared witch.

    And then Hermione—ever-contrary, hauntingly remote, aggravatingly withholding, in possession of disquieting power—ends his hellbent search by storming his study and demanding that he give her access to Malfoy family lore.

    Draco untangling the mystery of Hermione’s disappearance and just-as-maddening return plunges him into a quest that breaks realms, magical jurisdictions, standing warrants, sacred bargains, ancient truces, the demands of space and time—and, rather importantly, his already tenuous grasp on his restraint regarding his long-lost, brilliant, terrifying, distressingly brown-eyed witch. But, then again, Draco prides himself on being highly adaptable.

    If he could not make Hermione stay put, then he would make her keep him.

    Summary

    “Now, if I were to say yes to this whole…thing, what do I get out of it?” She asks hesitantly, hating the way he perked up immediately.

    “My, my, Granger— how Slytherin of you.” She narrows her eyes and he relents, surely very aware he did not have the upper hand in the situation. “You’ve been shot down for funding time and time again for that very generous Wolfsbane project–”

    Now it was her turn to perk up, spine straightening as she leans over the desk, hands clasping as her brain puts together what he’s offering her.

    “If you agree to this, agree to being my girlfriend until at least after Christmas, then I will fully fund your Wolfsbane project for the next two years.”

    -

    Draco Malfoy needs a favor, and Hermione Granger seems to be the only witch around to fit the bill. Attempting to get out of yet another marriage contract, Draco tells his mother he’s dating the one and only Hermione Granger. One little issue, they’re not actually dating.

    With a good old fashioned bribe of funding the Wolfsbane Project she’s been trying to start for years, Hermione reluctantly agrees.

    No need to worry dear readers, it’s not like they’d develop feelings for each other or anything…

    Right?

    Summary

    It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.

    This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.

    When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.

    How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?

    Summary

    “Rules can’t always be adhered to when you’ve got vampires on your heel, Granger. One second longer and Weasley here would’ve been nocturnal and swapping that bed of yours for a coffin,” Draco waggled his eyebrows, one of which was smeared with a red tinge of blood. “Unless you’re into that toothy sort of thing.”

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Hermione Granger is happily dating Ron Weasley. Or so Draco Malfoy thinks. Which is a shame when Hermione and Draco are obviously infatuated with each other.

    If only someone had thought to point it out to the two of them.
