    Summary

    “I’m looking at your old mug on the counter, Mum. It’s chipped on the handle. I can't bring myself to wash it...I needed to hear the phone ring. I miss you. God, I miss you so much.”

    A choked, breathless sob cut off the recording, followed by the sharp, electronic beep of a disconnected line. The secret basement fell dead silent again. Draco froze. He knew he should drop the device into the disposal chute. He knew it was a grotesque, illegal invasion of her privacy. But his thumb was already moving over the rubber keys, desperate to hear her private thoughts once more.

    **OR**

    This was Draco’s sixth year of Ministry-mandated rehabilitation. Every day, he was forced to descend to Level Ten and spend eight hours manually sorting through Muggle junk. He uncovers an enchanted Muggle cell phone. Hermione Granger has spent years dialing a wiped, disconnected number, leaving a trail of desperate, suffocating voicemails for the mother who no longer remembers her. Trapped in his own silent isolation, Draco becomes utterly consumed by the recordings. He can’t just keep sitting in the dark and listening to her drown alone.

    After seven years, it was time someone answered her.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger knows her five-year marriage to Ron Weasley was never perfect—but it takes a devastating betrayal to finally push her toward divorce.

    Determined to move on, she seeks out the best lawyer she can find: Lucius Malfoy.
    What is meant to be a simple, practical step toward a clean break soon turns into something far more unexpected.
    Through him, Hermione is drawn into a world of hidden desires and unspoken possibilities—one that challenges her boundaries, trust and understanding of intimacy.

    Along the way, she catches glimpses of old acquaintances whose presence hints at past loyalties and shared histories. She finds pieces of herself she thought were lost… and bonds that begin to form where she least expects them.

    Because sometimes, happiness does not come gently -
    sometimes, it demands to be taken, boldly, imperfectly…
    and just a little recklessly.

    Summary

    "Malfoy!"

    A startled yelp echoed from the showers just as Granger turned the corner and came face to face with Draco...who was wet in the shower, only a half wall covering his lower body.

    "Granger, I'm showering!"

    She turned her back immediately and rolled her eyes.

    "Relax. I didn't see anything. Your male nudity is a much smaller problem than me not being able to breathe properly."

    "And this couldn't have waited five minutes?" He should have sounded angry. Instead, something in his chest tightened at how wrong she looked even with her back turned--tense shoulders, one hand braced against a locker, breathing too shallow.

    "Fine," Hermione sighed. "I didn't see anything, but if I had, it's very nice. You're fit. Be proud. Now fix your ribs."

    Draco froze.

    His ribs, the bludger from tryouts...

    And suddenly he understood--she wasn't imagining pain. She was feeling his injuries, and worse than he was.

    "Granger..."

    "What?"

    "You need to sit down."

    "No, you need to stop being stu--"

    One moment she was arguing. The next she was unconscious in his arms.

    “Do you feel it too?”

    A pause.

    “Yes.”
