    Summary

    Hermione Granger is not one for fashion. It's not that she doesn't know how to look good, just that she can't be bothered to spare the time. So when her new friend Pansy offers to make her over, she thinks why not?

    Her new look makes her feel good, happy and confident. There's only one fly in her ointment--her partner and office mate Draco Malfoy. But then, he's never had anything good to say about her appearance, so why should that bother her?

    It doesn't, not really. She just wishes she understood what his problem is. And what, precisely, went wrong between them.

    (in which Draco has Feelings and Hermione is oblivious, because honestly this is a trope I could write all day long)

    Summary


    The silence stretched. She finally found the courage to lift her eyes, and every inch of her body flared to life.

    Malfoy was staring at her like a man parched.

    **
    Hermione Granger is perfectly fine spending the holidays on her own, thank you very much. So when Draco Malfoy shows up on her doorstep and insists on joining her for the evening, there's only one possible explanation: the universe is trying to kill her.

    Summary

    When Draco Malfoy asked her out the first time, Hermione was so surprised she blurted out, "No! Of course not!" And everything between them changed from there.

    Summary

    Hermione returned to Hogwarts as the temporary Transfiguration Professor. Malfoy, as the substitute Potions Master.

    A night in the Library, a bit too much wine.

    Draco turned his face to the skies in exasperation, letting out a low, long string of curses. “It may surprise you to hear this, apparently, but I don’t routinely have witches I don’t care about sit on my face.”

    Based on a prompt and breathtaking art by incendiosketches.

    Summary

    “I’m in love with her.”

    Nothing else. Just that. The words fall out of his mouth and hover there like the world’s least convenient Bludger. It’s the first time he’s said it out loud. It feels… odd. Heavy. Possibly terminal. He braces for questions, or judgement, or maybe an intervention.

    What he gets instead is the not-at-all subtle sound of coins changing hands. Theo passes a handful of Galleons to Blaise.

    “I told you,” Blaise murmurs, smug as sin.

    ••••

    Draco Malfoy is no hero; just the Ministry’s unpaid consultant with a talent for sarcasm and survival. He plans to endure cursed artefacts and bad coffee in silence… until he starts noticing Hermione Granger. Flat shoes, sharper wit, and the kind of competence that makes even Malfoys pay attention.

    He doesn’t speak to her. He just observes. Catalogues. Falls quietly, disastrously in love.
