    Summary

    The Dragon Throne stood empty.

    In its stead, at the foot of the dais, sat the Prince Regent.

    The Marquis of Wu’an did not need the throne to command the room’s attention or respect. Clad in dark robes embroidered with the finest gold thread, midnight hair tied up and adorned with a golden guan, he exuded an authority so absolute that no one dared mistake his position. His posture was flawless, his expression composed and unreadable.

    Even in relaxation, he seemed like a dangerous predator, ready to strike.

    And his gaze, when falling on a low-ranking official like him, was bone-chilling.

    Summary

    “Oh, hello, you,” Hermione said softly. It was a little frog, no bigger than the hollow of the palm of her hand. Gently, she scooped it up in her hand and smiled. It really was very cute.

    Then it opened its mouth and said: “What the fuck, Granger?”

    That was when she screamed and threw the frog straight back into the plants.

    In which Draco Malfoy is accidentally—and possibly irreversibly—turned into a frog, and he relentlessly antagonizes charms Hermione Granger as she attempts to help him.

    Summary

    Prompt from iremembersky: Post M4 - exploration of Trinity, or Trinity and Neo’s adjustment to IO, their new lives, and shadows of Tom and Tiff… there’s so much Trinity needs to be told about what happened that led to her rescue, and what happened in the last 60 years. Maybe Neo’s worried how she’ll take it, or she’s taking it too well (to his mind).

    Summary

    The Head of Tactical Operations is retiring and Cormac McLaggen wastes no time making his opinion known—it's a man's job, plain and simple. Hermione Granger, queen of strategy and the reason their department has a record-breaking closure rate, should stay in her lane. Women's work, and all that.

    She decides to test that theory and challenges him to a duel.

    That's the fic.

    Summary

    When you put down your quill, you remain the same opinionated, intelligent, determined person who writes me these letters. You don’t hide yourself; the world has hidden you.

    As for me—I set mine down and pick up a mask, and I wear it until I can’t remember how to take it off.

    Do I hate what I’ve become? Maybe. Does that matter? Will that absolve me?

    Am I fooling myself or you?

    -Your enemy, I think

    Summary

    Draco looked miserably at the low ceilings and stone walls of what were apparently going to be his living quarters at Hogwarts. The rooms were minuscule. He made one last effort. “I understand that living in the castle is a tradition here, but professors at Beauxbatons—”

    Granger glared at him, arms crossed and hip cocked. In her sensible heels, she was exactly his height, yet they did not see eye to eye. “Let me guess, Professor Malfoy: you skied down to the campus every morning from your mansion above the clouds? And a dozen elf-made croissants awaited you in an office the size of a ballroom?”

    “Oh, you’ve been, then?”

    “This is your suite. Happy housewarming. Goodbye.” She whirled away, heels clicking on the stone floor.

    Draco was left grumbling to no one, a state he found himself in after nearly every interaction with the Director of Hogwarts.

    In which Draco Malfoy obtains his dream job at Hogwarts, and Hermione Granger obtains a Problem.

    Summary

    Every terrible moment in his life, Draco thought about how one of the most powerful potions in existence curled up and around others like opalescent smoke, pulsing bright and thick like ichor, beckoning and enticing everyone…but.

    Him.

    Nothing.

    Draco deserved this.

    or, for some reason Amortentia has no scent for Draco. It's something he considers a terrible flaw and believes it's proof he lacks the capacity to feel romantic love.

    But everything is fine. (narrator: everything was not fine.)

    Summary

    But Draco was still looking at the girl with the covetous gaze that all Malfoy men wore when they knew something belonged to them.

    This was different, though. There was something else here that was not Malfoy. Not even Black. It was unique to him. It was the same wild-eyed and excited expression he had when he brought home his gifts and sparked with magic no one so young should have. Magic that tasted like ozone and petrichor and fate.

    Narcissa knew, then.

    She braced herself.

    or, Draco is born cursed and stricken by a violent, magical Wind that comes bearing gifts, even when he is sentenced to Azkaban. None of that has anything to do with why Hermione Granger pays him a visit.

    Summary

    Stepping out was the only brave thing he had ever done, and he hadn’t even hesitated. The only brave thing he had ever done, even if it might be his last. His future was his own again.

    It wasn’t to spite his parents. It was simply to have a choice.

    He could live with that.

    Perhaps he would even have to die with it.

    Summary

    This is a story about growth, forgiveness, and learning to be kind.

    -

    The first time Draco saw her was at the final battle. Dressed in torn and bloody muggle clothing, worn around her too thin frame like armour. Teeth grit as she parried and dodged. Brow furrowed as she cursed and slashed.

    He’s not sure he’s ever really seen her before that moment.

    Sure, he’s known her since the age of eleven. Hair slicked back, freshly pressed robes, a determination to carry his name like a blessing, instead of the burden that it pragmatically is.

    But he’s never seen her like this. As though she’s an agent of chaos, more sharp edges than curls. More woman than girl.

    She is a tempest, and a wild thing.

    Woman. Witch. Storm.

    Draco Malfoy watches Hermione Granger bring the Dark Lord to his knees.

    -

    He has been tortured, threatened, coerced. Draco Malfoy has suffered through this war, and has never really achieved anything for either side. He’s a failure as a Death Eater and yet an enemy of The Order.

    Hermione explains to the Wizengamot how Draco is a shade of grey, certainly not light, but never truly dark.

    Somehow, she manages to make that sound like a good thing.

    Summary

    “Malfoy—wait—before this goes further,” she said, wiggling as he traced a finger down a ticklish spot on her thigh.

    He froze and sat back.

    “You should know that I’m not looking for anything serious, and—and my rule is no staying over.” She bit her lip and, from the rather vulnerable spot beneath him on her bed, semi-dressed, she waited for his verdict.

    “You have a rule?” he asked with a sexy half-smile that turned into a predatory smirk. He lowered his lips to her neck.

    “Everyone’s got rules. I’m just upfront with mine.”

    That earned her a surprised huff of laughter from him, warm against her skin.

    “I’ll be gone before you fall asleep,” he promised in a murmur.

    In which Hermione reconnects with Malfoy. She is intensely attracted to him, but can she abide by her own rules and overcome an ethical dilemma?
