Summary
Draco Malfoy, CEO of Malfoy Holdings, is busy with work and needs to get his matchmaking mother and a host of rapacious society gold diggers off his back.
Hermione Granger desperately needs cash to care for her parents who are suffering the effects of a backfired memory charm reversal.
Draco’s solution: Hire Granger to be his fake girlfriend.
*****
“Granger, I don’t have time for courtship. I’m too busy for champagne and flowers and coddling a needy witch. I just need someone to accompany me on business dinners and when I go to galas and cocktail parties without the complications or expectations that a girlfriend would bring.”
“Why me?” she asked.
Draco gave her an ironic look. “Because you’re the last witch who would ever want to marry me.”

What will the arrival of a new colleague change? A tale of romance with some detective work intertwined, humour, drama, and a psychological journey through it all.

Summary
Eight years after the war, Hermione Granger has rebuilt her life. She has carved out a career, raised her six-month-old daughter, Rose, and endured the grief of losing Ron Weasley, who was murdered by rogue Death Eaters before ever meeting his child.
When the Muggle-Born Protection Act is proposed—an insidious law that would strip Muggle-borns of their autonomy by assigning them a pureblood guardian—Hermione’s name becomes the centerpiece of a political debate she never agreed to be a part of.
The last person she expects to offer a solution is Narcissa Malfoy.
Poised and deliberate, Narcissa proposes a bargain: if Hermione agrees to marry Draco Malfoy, she will be exempt from the law, her status as a pureblood’s wife making her untouchable in the eyes of the Ministry. In return, the Malfoy family—still tainted by its past loyalties—will gain the one thing it cannot buy: social redemption.
Hermione and Draco must navigate a world where alliances are never simple, and where trust is as fragile as the paper their marriage contract is written on.But some things cannot be kept on paper.
And gold is not always the most valuable thing in a bargain.- Language:

Summary
Hermione’s adult life has meant a lot of carrying on. A war ends? She carries on. Her relationship ends? She carries on. Her optimism about swift reform in the Ministry ends? She carries on.
An entire Yule Ball full of friends, acquaintances, and strangers mistakenly thinks she and Malfoy are having a grand relationship reveal mid-gala? She probably shouldn’t carry on.
“They’re happy for us, Granger.”
“And that, truth be told, is very unexpected.”
[In which a single evening involves fake dating, only one bed, and the idea that sometimes things can be easy.]

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Love, and Other Strange Magics by EmmieWrites

Summary
It's been nearly ten years since the end of the war, and Hermione Granger is finally (mostly) happy. Her research at the Ministry is going exceptionally well, she's almost certainly going to be nominated for a prestigious Merlin Award for Magical Excellence that would have her name synonymous with magical theory across the world, and she's managed to keep all her pot plants alive over the summer.
But as things start to go strangely wrong in Wizarding Britain, Hermione must reluctantly team up with the only person who could ever threaten her chances of winning the greatest academic achievement a witch could hope for- Draco Malfoy.
When their investigation of a possessed Ministry intern quickly becomes far more complicated than either of them could've ever imagined, the pair must find a way to work together and prevent a catastrophe that could shatter the very foundations of the magical world.
Working with your arch-rival isn't easy, and as long-buried secrets and plots start to come to light, Hermione and Draco soon learn that demons may be the least of their problems…

Summary
"I don't want your pity, Granger," he seethes. "I'm still in your debt. I haven't made amends yet."
"Oh, so you're planning to?" she asks more cheekily than she is feeling.
Malfoy's eyes flash as if she had challenged him to a duel.
"Is there something you need? Just say the word and I'll give it to you. Or do you prefer actions? I'm willing to do fucking anything..."
Hermione's heart is beating indecently fast. She masks her fascination with a sceptically raised eyebrow.
"Anything," she echoes.
"Anything," he confirms.
"All right, then. For starters, I'd like you to stop crowding me against this bookshelf."

Summary
Sixteen years post-war, Draco Malfoy has reinvented himself: Head Auror of the French Ministry, internationally respected, hero-adjacent, and absolutely not still a security risk (depending on who you ask). So when Harry Potter lures him back to Britain with the promise of power, prestige and MILD public outrage, Draco's only question is: how bad could it possibly be?
Hermione Granger-Weasley is the Ministry's golden girl: war hero, legal prodigy, and the woman most likely to stabilise the government before her second cup of coffee. With Shacklebolt stepping down ahead of the November elections and two dangerously mediocre men circling the job like vultures, Hermione is the obvious - and reluctantly willing - successor. Backed by a few loyal allies, a lot of policy and a marriage that looks respectable (if you squint), she doesn't have time for distractions. Especially not in the form of Draco Malfoy: smug, silver-tongued, and recently hired into her orbit like a bad decision in expensive tailoring. Unfortunately he's infuriatingly competent. And even more unfortunately - he agrees with her.
OR how did Hermione Granger become Minister for Magic and how the fuck did Malfoy get roped into this deluded shit show.

Summary
Eighth Year Dramione. Drama. Secrets. Healing. Slow burn. Explicit Content.
"And I know you don't care about my blood. Not like you used to."
He gulps on the morning air that feels heavier than it should, weighed down by confessions. Charged with something she can't name.
He takes a few deep breaths, shutting his eyes tightly. Angling away from her, clenching his fists.
Too much, she realizes.
She had stepped over the line—hurled herself across it and dragged him with her. Let her words throw the two of them into a place too deep.
She opens her mouth with an apology on her tongue when—
"I never cared about your blood."

Summary
As part of a post-war reparations project, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are assigned to restore the war-damaged library at Malfoy Manor. The assignment includes hexed books, structural instability, and enough dust to qualify as a health hazard. Emotional baggage? Not listed, but generously included.
Also, Malfoy Manor might be… wooing (?) Hermione. Doors open for her. Rooms shift. The library hums. Which is absurd, obviously. She has a perfectly reasonable explanation. She just hasn’t thought of it yet.

Summary
Hermione is familiar with fighting: for respect, for attention, for justice. She’s even made a career of it; working on behalf of creatures and beings. But her battle against the Ministry’s marriage law is one she loses. Badly. And now, she has to contend with not only public derision and patriarchal politics, but her growing feelings for her government-mandated spouse.

Draco and his mother had behaved like upstanding citizens for years, donated thousands of Galleons, yet apparently it only took a bit of romantic fluff with Granger and he could consider himself fully redeemed.
A bar so low he’d barely need to raise his feet to clear it.

Summary
When the Ministry’s fake matchmaking initiative accidentally “pairs” Hermione Granger with Draco Malfoy, the entire wizarding world loses its mind. The press screams soulmates. Narcissa Malfoy starts planning floral arrangements. And Hermione? She just wanted an independent post-war life (and a few no-strings-attached weekends with Charlie Weasley, thank you).
But to avoid scandal — and even more mishaps of Pansy Parkinson, the mastermind behind all of their problems — Hermione and Draco agree to play along.
Now publicly "engaged," privately exhausted, and very much *not* in love (yet), the two must learn to work together to reclaim their story and their privacy.
But just as they start feeling… something (don’t name it), word spreads about a marriage proposal...

Summary
“What are you doing in my office, Malfoy?” she asked, toeing the line between businesslike and unfriendly.
He glanced over, eyes flicking from her face down her body once, before fixing his attention back on her books.
“I was under the impression you were an investigative journalist,” he quipped, then lifted a hand to the spines.
“Don’t touch my books,” she snapped. “You can’t just invite yourself in.”
“The witch downstairs implied your assistant could.” He gestured to himself with the raised hand, turning his obedience at not messing with her things into something distinctly insouciant. Prat.
And then his words registered.
She jolted back like she’d been slapped, blinking against the cognitive assault. “What? No. You’re claiming that you are my new research assistant?”
“Cracked it in one,” he drawled, sliding his hands into his trouser pockets.

Summary
It’s simple. When she doesn’t know how to do something, she learns. When she can’t figure something out, she researches. When she isn’t good at something, she practices. When she still doesn’t understand something, she consults an instructor.
Twenty-seven years old and still a virgin, Hermione decides it’s time to employ someone to teach her the ins and outs of sex.
It isn’t because she thinks he’s particularly handsome, and it has absolutely nothing to do with the way the bar lights gleam fire in his blond hair. And it certainly isn’t because she suspects Draco Malfoy might be some kind of sex god. No, he’s just there, sitting at the barstool next to her, and in that heartbeat Hermione finds herself brave enough to ask...
