Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?

Summary
They were in an abandoned hospital.
No magic. No Healers. No Draco.Just him and her.
And the baby that was coming whether they were ready or not.
Harry made the decision instantly.
“Hermione,” he said, trying and failing to keep his voice calm, “I think… I think I’m going to have to deliver the baby.”
She stared at him like he had just suggested setting her on fire.
“What?”
He nodded, like if he committed hard enough it would become true.
“Yes.”
“Harry.”
“Yes.”
“Do you know how to do this?”
He froze. “…Yes.”
Her eyes narrowed.
“When did you deliver a baby last?”
“…In training.”
She stared at him.
“As an Auror.”
She kept staring.
“Well,” he amended weakly, “it was more of me watching a video.”
Her expression shifted into something murderous.
“Harry James Potter.”
Another contraction slammed into her and she screamed.
“Okay!” he said quickly. “Okay— right— we’re doing this— it’s fine— everything’s fine—”
Everything was not fine.
*On HIATUS for personal reasons.

Summary
Draco Malfoy is a dangerous man who is used to getting everything he wants. He likes giving gifts, good girls who are grateful, and pretty, bookish types. It is unfortunate for straight-laced Hermione Granger that he also likes a bit of a challenge.
OR
Age gap, mafia, sugar daddy.
Still wizarding universe somehow.

Summary
Hermione knows the rules of London: don’t look too long, don’t ask, don’t invite trouble.
She’s been trying to follow them.
But trouble has already noticed her.
A shadow in the rain. A presence in the museum crowd. A stranger who feels wrong in a way her body recognises before her mind does.
Draco Malfoy has always been good at waiting.
And Hermione Granger has always been terrible at leaving things unfinished.
