If We Have to Pretend /// The Rise of Grådrakars by jodzi

Summary
In an effort to sell the illusion that post-war Britain is finally healed, the Ministry launches a glossy initiative and crowns its boldest symbol of unity yet: Hermione Granger, the Ministry’s sharpest legislator, and Draco Malfoy, a notorious bachelor… in a relationship. But when Hermione catches a glimpse of Draco’s life beyond the cameras, she realizes the Ministry’s pretending game was never the dangerous part. As secrets pile up and Draco’s hidden world surfaces—stretching beyond London, beyond the press, beyond anything Hermione can vote into law—she must decide what she’s willing to risk for a man who’s been pretending far longer than she has… and what it will cost them both when the pretending ends.
OR
What starts as a glossy PR initiative turns into a collision of secrets, loyalty, and the hardest choices either of them ever expected to make.
OR
I started writing this years ago convinced it would stay a simple PR arc, but the story grew a life of its own and became something I never saw coming😂

Summary
Hermione needs a helping hand and Malfoy is willing to lend her his. However, his help comes at a price.
OR
Draco gains power over Hermione and takes full advantage of it.“What are you going to offer me? For my help?”
He was staring at her with a piercing gaze. Hermione didn’t want to play his game. If he was asking, there must have been something he wanted from her. “What would you like?”
He smirked, tapping his fingers on the armchair. The muscles on his forearm flexed, making the tattooed snake move.
“Maybe many things. Or maybe nothing. What’s your and Weasley’s favourite sex position?”
His expression didn’t change. He looked at her as if he’d asked her a normal question, about the weather or her favourite book.
“What?”
“Don’t pretend you didn’t hear me. In. What. Position. Does. Weasley. Usually. Fuck. You?”
“None of your business.”
“Yeah? And here I was, thinking you wanted my help…”
“If I answer you, will you help me?”
“Dunno.” He shrugged nonchalantly. “Maybe?”
Hermione clenched her fists. The Germans had the perfect word for a face like his. Das Backpfeifengesicht. A face that’s asking for a slap.- Language:

Summary
No matter what Draco does over the years, it seems like Hermione can't see past the boy he used to be. If being cruel is the only way to get her attention, then he can live with that, even if it means he'll never get to really have her the way he wants to.
Hermione is in a tough spot. She needs money to pay off her father's debt. And it just so happens that Malfoy has money and is interested in giving it to her - if she'll do things for him, that is. How lucky for him that she's in no position to turn down his help.
Even if she'll never love him, at least he can have this, right?

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
In theory, the task is simple: kill Draco Malfoy. In practice, putting a curse through the Dark Lord's favoured lieutenant will take everything Hermione has―especially since he's trying to kill her, too. Even more so when the lines between them start to blur. Sometimes, the only way out is through.
