Summary
Draco Malfoy has never been redeemed. He’s simply been patient.
Hermione Granger ruined his chances of being the top of their class, outshone him at every turn, and then—like the perfect, insufferable angel she was—saved his family from Azkaban. She was a Mudblood, and she was better than him. That contradiction marked him forever.
For the past seven years, he has played the long game. He became respectable in her eyes, carved out a role for himself at the DMLE, and slowly, carefully, made himself indispensable. He became her confidant, her best friend. He cultivated every part of their friendship—curated what she needed, what she liked, what she deserved.
Because Hermione is exceptional. She’s brilliant, sharp, devastatingly capable. And no one around her—not her fiancé, not her friends—ever made her feel like she was more than a burden to forgive or a standard to resent.
Draco doesn’t just see her. He feeds the pride she’s always been told to swallow. And he’ll do whatever it takes to bring her into the world where she belongs—his world.
Because she deserves better.
And she deserves him.

Summary
Hermione Granger, bakery owner and former war heroine, never expected a mysterious Valentine’s invitation—least of all from Draco Malfoy. For years, he’s been a quiet constant in her shop, all black coffee and brooding glances. But this Valentine’s Day is only the beginning of something far sweeter than she ever imagined.

Summary
Hermione Granger is desperate to get Hogwarts up and running again after the war. She wants to do a full renovation, add special courses, allow new regulations for muggle-borns and more. But despite being 'The Golden Girl', she's shite at getting the elite to spend their galleons on her cause. She's blunt and lacking in the social graces expected of someone of her status.
Draco Malfoy has just finished serving a 3 year term at Azkaban for his part in the war-a sentence that was only lowered because of Hermione's character witness at his trial. He sees her struggling to make the right impression amongst the upper-class wizarding community and offers to give her lessons in manners and etiquette associated with closing the deals she needs to secure her dreams.
But this isn't just any kind of arrangement.
They have 10 lessons between now and the social event of the year. There's only 1 rule: For each lesson he gives her on how to act in public, she must return a favor of his choice.- Language:

Summary
“Since we won’t be killing each other, we could make arrangements. If we both want to use this as… ” she hesitated, searching for the right word. “A safe space.”
“What type of arrangements?” His expression was dark with suspicion.
“Wards. So only the two of us to have access here, in case we are followed or—”
“Or in case I invite some Death Eaters over for tea?” he smiled, though his eyes stayed cold.
OR
Over the course of two years, a series of encounters between Death Eater Draco Malfoy and Order Member Hermione Granger blossoms into something unexpected.
