    Summary

    When a string of Death Eater murders pops up in the American Southwest, a Ministry-sponsored investigation is sent across the pond.

    Draco Malfoy joins because he’s been promised complete freedom from his parole at the end of it. He’s several years out from a stint in Azkaban, he has a picture-perfect pureblood engagement, and yet he thinks, maybe, that the final thing barring him from satisfaction is the justice system’s stubborn hold on him.

    So he goes. He doesn’t expect the empty vastness of the desert, or the unfriendly wariness of the people there. There are creatures he’s never heard of, and towns that hide from being known.

    On top of that, Draco is dismayed to find that he has to discover it all alongside Hermione Granger— an old classmate he hasn’t even seen since before.

    It’s possible that she is just exceptionally interested in matters of international justice. Or maybe she’s chosen the desert because she’s running away from something, too.

    Summary

    Hermione needs to get rid of her pesky virginity for her very own reasons. The solution to that is, of course, to make a list of the boys at Hogwarts to find out which one will suit her purpose best! Draco Malfoy is at first left off her list, but when he finds out and teases her about it, she realises that maybe he has a point--after all, who would be better to take her virginity than the most gossiped about skirt chaser at Hogwarts? When he's not even remotely as willing as she thought he'd be, Hermione realises she's got a challenge on her hands.

    "Want to impress upon people that you’ve changed, Malfoy? Take responsibility for your actions and your choices. Not liking where you ended up, not wanting what came after doesn’t change the fact that you wanted it at the time. You were a willing participant. Changing your mind can’t erase any of that."
