Summary
After the wizarding war, Hermione discovers her parents can’t remember anything. In an attempt to be closer to them, she snips the last remnants of her life in England and moves to Australia to begin a cultural research project at the Australian Ministry of Magic. Hermione discovers there’s a lot more to magic than she’d ever known, forces her own path in Australian high wizarding society and finds herself—most peculiarly—working with Draco Malfoy and his eccentric aunt and ostentatious cousins to find a cure for her parents. She can’t decide if Malfoy is genuinely helping or not, and worse: if it’s okay to enjoy his company.
Slow burn.

The Art of Wooing Hermione Granger: a 12-Month Affair by sad_millennial

Summary
At a holiday party for Ministry employees, Granger explains the muggle tradition of setting a New Year’s resolution to Draco.
Draco, who has recently discovered that his feelings for her are more than platonic, latches onto the idea. What better time to “buckle down”—as the muggleborns say—on his efforts than January 1?
And so, Draco has decided, in the amount of time it takes her to describe the concept, that his New Year's resolution will consist of one lofty goal: to woo Hermione Granger.
All he has to do is navigate decoy, mid, and quarter year resolutions, join a fantasy (American) football team, train for a sprint triathlon, keep an overbearing Theodore Nott away from Granger, and dodge suspicious looks from overprotective Potters.

Summary
Hermione Granger doesn’t recognise her life anymore. She lives on her own, has distanced herself from her friends, from the wizarding world, from everything. Under the pressure of the secrets she has kept for fifteen years, she has shrunk.
Until Draco Malfoy turns up on her doorstep, his magic vanished, a deadly wound in his stomach, professing that he has nowhere else to go.
