    Summary

    During a mandated eighth year, Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts on probation, one failed class away from Azkaban. Forced by the Ministry to pass Muggle Studies with an Outstanding, he reluctantly asks Hermione Granger for help—and she agrees on one strict condition: he is not allowed to fall in love with her. As their tutoring sessions turn into something deeper, Draco begins to notice how fiercely Hermione’s friends protect her, and how carefully she avoids talking about the future. When a moment meant to be harmless spirals out of control, the illusion of a “normal year” begins to crack. Some lessons can’t be learned from books, and some rules are made to be broken.

    Summary

    After the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world craved nothing more than to move on from the horrors of war. However, the universe had darker plans: a plague was coming. A new strain of vampirism spread like wildfire, forcing society into a desperate lockdown.

    Three years after the first infection was recorded, Hermione tries to rebuild a sense of normalcy. But her life is upended when Draco Malfoy is caught attempting to flee the country while under house arrest. To avoid a return to Azkaban, he strikes a desperate bargain with the Ministry.
    Hermione Granger—now the wizarding world's leading Dark Artifact specialist—is dispatched to Malfoy Manor to catalog its dangerous contents. She expected to face cursed relics and a bitter rival; she did not expect her new housemate to be hiding a dark secret more dangerous than any object in the manor.

    Summary

    The ball had been underway for about an hour before he caught his first glimpse of her. He was off to the side, chatting with his parents and Astoria, who was preening under all of the attention she had received as the newly announced, future Mrs. Draco Malfoy. Granger was standing across the dancefloor, with her back to him, engaged in conversation with Potter and some higher-up from the Ministry, her wild curls making her instantly recognizable. She was wearing a golden evening dress – like the Gryffindor queen that she was – a Muggle fashion that showcased her curves. Even from behind, without seeing her face, she was practically stopping his heart she was so gorgeous. And then she turned around and he thought his heart might have actually stopped for a moment.

    Granger was pregnant.

    Granger was noticeably pregnant. Probably around five months pregnant. Which meant that she had been pregnant the night that they had ended things, three months ago. The night that she had confirmed that she was exclusively sleeping with him, and had been exclusive with him for the preceding several years.

    Granger was pregnant, with his child.

    Summary

    When you put down your quill, you remain the same opinionated, intelligent, determined person who writes me these letters. You don’t hide yourself; the world has hidden you.

    As for me—I set mine down and pick up a mask, and I wear it until I can’t remember how to take it off.

    Do I hate what I’ve become? Maybe. Does that matter? Will that absolve me?

    Am I fooling myself or you?

    -Your enemy, I think
