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
“Then stop coming here,” she said, crossing her arms.
“Believe me, Granger,” he said quietly, “I’ve tried.”
•••
Hermione Granger is a competent, decorated, entirely-put-together healer who absolutely does not have feelings for Draco Malfoy. She has simply noticed, in a purely clinical capacity, that he keeps turning up at her hospital. Repeatedly. With increasingly creative injuries.
Draco Malfoy is a competent, decorated, entirely-put-together Auror who absolutely does not have feelings for Hermione Granger. He has simply run out of reasons to accidentally be in her vicinity and has recently resorted to letters.
Neither of them is handling this well.
Featuring: one medically questionable sandwich, a poisoning with truly baffling toxicology results, four unsent letters, two insufferable Slytherins who consider themselves uninvolved, one ill-timed trip to America, and a years-long slow burn so thoroughly in denial it practically qualifies as a clinical case study.
Hermione leaves before it becomes a problem.
It was already a problem.Bookmarked by FinallyFree25

Summary
“I wanted dinner. With someone who wouldn’t— who doesn’t—”
“Talk?” he offered.
She huffed a laugh. “Think. Much. Loudly. In my vicinity.”
A pause, wry and weightless. “I can be remarkably stupid on request.”
•••
Hermione Granger’s latest experiment in the Department of Mysteries goes, technically speaking, catastrophically tits-up. The result? She can suddenly hear everyone’s thoughts. It’s a nightmare.
Except Draco Malfoy’s.
Around him, the world goes silent — blissfully, impossibly silent.
So she clings to him for relief; he pretends he’s not quietly losing his mind over her; the Brains in jars judge them both; and feelings start happening without anyone’s permission.
Magical neuroscience, catastrophic intimacy, and one very besotted Auror who never stood a chance.Series

Summary
Hermione Granger is stationed at a remote site in the Scottish north, continuing her classified Ministry work brewing counteragents to dark magic. The solitude suits her and the secrecy suits the research. The only complication is Draco Malfoy.
He serves as her field security - a Hit Wizard on probation who says little, gives less away, and refuses to make interpretation convenient. He is nothing like the boy she remembers, and everything like a man determined to keep his distance.
Their arrangement should be straightforward: she works on her potions; he fortifies her wards. But something strange starts to take root, and it’s not just the herbs in her greenhouse.
If you’re looking for a story driven by plot or high-stakes action, you won’t find it here. This is a character study of a young Hermione Granger learning how to navigate adulthood, ambition, and the slow, bewildering business of falling for a man who isn’t who he used to be.
