Summary
The war is still going on. Hermione runs her own unit. Draco joins them after You-Know-Who kills his parents. They argue, they bite at each other, they can’t stand being in the same room, until they can’t stop ending up in one alone. It isn’t trust. It’s need. It’s a moment’s relief. It’s war.

Summary
Something soft grows in the hushed and stolen moments of war.
It twists and blooms like vines around steel.
It is a love born in darkness and twined with secrets, tender and endless.
Can it survive the radiance of truth when it is exposed to the light of peace? -

Summary
Ministry Directive 32
To ensure moving past any and all lingering Blood-purity views, all Pureblood wizards and witches are henceforth forbidden from marrying other Purebloods.
Unmarried Purebloods who have aided, abetted and otherwise were tied to the Death Eater movement, are furthermore obliged to, without exception (unless it involves Directive 24), marry a Muggleborn. They have one year to find adequate spouses. Non-compliance with Directive 32 will result in a fine of 150.000 Galleons and 5 years’ incarceration in Azkaban.

“I understand.” Lucius Malfoy folded his hands on his cane and sat straighter. “As you may have noticed, Directive 32 has some of my former associates in a bit of a tizzy.”
Hermione snorted before she could help herself. Lucius blinked at her as if she had spat on the floor. “Apologies, please continue,” she said.
“Ah, well… I have come to you with an opportunity. As I have been told, you receive dozens of proposals a day. In person as well as in the form of letters. Were you to agree to my proposition, that would all go away.”
“And what exactly are you asking of me, Mister Malfoy?”
“In short, to marry my son and thus keeping him out of Azkaban.” -

Summary
Hermione Granger thought post-war life would be calm. Instead, she’s clocking overtime at the emergency ward in St. Mungo’s, patching up idiots who think dueling with dark wizards, or fusing themselves with deadly plants is a valid career choice. Chief among these idiots? Draco Malfoy: Hit Wizard, professional menace, and apparently allergic to staying out of her hair. When he isn’t insisting on getting help for minor injuries, he’s smirking, bickering, and accidentally making her question her life choices. Hermione doesn’t know what’s more exhausting: fixing his injuries, resisting the urge to hex him, or ignoring the fact that he looks unfairly attractive even while half-dead.
Or... How to fall in love with your most annoying patient, a guide by Hermione Granger. -

Summary
Two years after the Battle of Hogwarts Voldemort is still alive and hiding from the Order. His Horcruxes are destroyed and finding him is the Order's top priority.
When the Golden Trio captures Draco Malfoy during a battle, he won't speak to anyone but Hermione Granger.
He makes her an offer: A deal with the Order if she answers his questions. The things is; Hermione has her own questions for him.
Why has he saved her on multiple occasions? What happened that night at Malfoy Manor?
Why does Draco Malfoy care whether she lives or dies?
***
All blood left her face as she was hit with what she saw. It was him. Her hopes had been answered.
He looked older, worn and hardened, but he still elicited the same feelings in her as he had the last time she’d seen him. Confused warmth, paired with dread and…something utterly bottomless.
“Malfoy," Harry hissed.
Hermione’s hand twitched and she balled it into a fist to keep from brushing a strand of hair off his forehead. “He’s alive,” she whispered. Only moving her lips, she added: “You’re alive.”
