    Summary

    Harley had absolutely no fucking idea how expensive life actually was.
    Sure, he’d always heard adults complain about bills. Rent. Electricity. Heating. Whatever else grown-ups paid for. But it had always been background noise. Like people whining about Mondays or traffic.
    Something adults just… did.
    But now he was sitting on his bed staring at his bank account and realizing adults had not been exaggerating.
    Once everything got paid, there was basically nothing left.

    Summary

    Hermione Jean Granger was born many things but, most unfortunately of them all, a seer.

    Though she'd prevented the imminent destruction of the wizarding world many a time over—single-handedly, she might add—she'd never received the accolades she deserved, dubbed a hack, a bit batty, and, worst-of-all, illogical.

    She was intent to leave it all behind her, find her place in the world without all the prejudice and stigma, that was until she received a world-shattering, feels-like-you’re-going-to-literally-die vision that led her straight to Draco Malfoy’s doorstep.

    Oh bugger.

    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.

    Summary

    The owl squeezed itself through the rusting bars of his Azkaban cell and flew to the ground, hooting in triumph and waddling around on the dusty floor. Draco grasped the owl gently in his fist to still it, then withdrew the letter from the mail bag.

    His heart thudded. Who was contacting him? His mother? Pansy? Not one of the Death Eaters, surely?

    Then he unrolled the page and let out a disbelieving huff.

    It was a fucking survey.

    Well. They wanted a response? He’d give them one.

    • On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 4 (very), how clean are Azkaban’s facilities? — Fuck you
    • On a scale of 1 (not at all) to 4 (very), how humane has your treatment been at Azkaban? — Fuck this
    • Any additional comments? — Fuck off

    P.S. Your owl is insane
