Summary
What is love if not an all-consuming addiction?
After 11 years in Azkaban prison, Draco Malfoy unexpectedly finds himself a free man at last. What does he decide to do with this freedom? Develop a soul-crushing obsession with Hermione Granger-Weasley, of course.
Upon reentering the world, determined to lock himself away for the rest of his days, he is forced immediately into joining a long-standing ritual of Friday night drinks. He sees that the life he imagined for Hermione is not at all the one she is living, she seems to be miserable - exhausted, overworked, and trapped in a loveless marriage.
For Draco, this simply will not do. He will use any means necessary to have her for his own, including but not limited to: stalking, lying, shapeshifting, gaslighting, violence, and murder.

Summary
Ron Weasley thought suggesting an open relationship was a mature solution. What he did not think through was the possibility of waking up the next morning to find a shirtless blond man in his kitchen, barefoot, unbothered, and drinking coffee from his favourite "Best Boyfriend Ever" mug.

Summary
COMPLETE
Hermione Granger signed the papers for protection, expecting a cold marriage of convenience. Instead, she got a high-tech penthouse, a husband who reads instruction manuals to fix her Wi-Fi, and earth-shattering intimacy.
Draco isn't just "tolerating" her. He’s been in love with her since fourth year. His strategy is simple: Trap her with domestic bliss, bribe her with rare books, and worship her body until she realizes she never wants to leave.
She thinks it's a logical arrangement. He knows it's a courtship. And Crookshanks? He’s already chosen a side.*28/12/25- this is the alternative version of my original Marriage Law, but I make it post war, Voldemort is death and draco lives in a muggle world.*
**4/6/26** I reveal the work again because I don’t want others to share my work without my consent.

A self-indulgent romp where Draco delivers the baby of his pregnant coworker in a cave.

In which Hermione Granger is strong enough, intelligent enough, and brave enough to birth a child on her own, but it doesn’t mean she has to.

With the help of a few…friends…our favourite grumpy Slytherin is forced to endure the rather intolerable experience of joy.
Happy ending in all iterations of all universes for these particular two, because we deserve it!

Summary
The threat to the upper class had begun a quarter of a century ago. At first, fewer children were born. Then most marriages remained completely childless.
Ideas of propriety shifted. Before and after marriage, trying to conceive with varying partners was tolerated, even encouraged.
One such event to encourage intimate social mixing among the gentry was the local assembly.

Summary
Ten years after the war, Hermione Granger is a celebrated hero, a tireless political reformer–but behind closed doors, she's drowning in a Ministry that praises her with one breath and silences her with the next. She's brilliant, respected... and dangerously close to being done playing by their rules.
Cleared of his war crimes and sharper than ever, Draco Malfoy didn't just survive the fallout–he seized it. The most feared name in Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld, he controls the flow of potions, secrets, and power. And now, he's being ordered to marry the Ministry's Golden Girl.
Thrown into a marriage neither expected and neither intends to lose, Hermione and Draco must decide whether to rule from the shadows or burn the whole damn system down... together.
He may be the King of Wizarding Britain's criminal underworld–
but she is the Queen.
And may the gods help anyone who disrespects the Queen.

Summary
Draco and Hermione are back for Eighth Year. The war has filled them with heated fury, and they love to take it out on each other. Hissed taunts in the hallways, obscenities whispered between classes- it's the only thing that makes them feel alive.
When Lucius alerts Draco of his impending betrothal to Astoria Greengrass, the vapid bore, he can’t stomach the idea of marrying her. In a moment of crazed desperation, Draco turns to Hermione for help, proposing a marriage of convenience.
Their union of fiery rage will keep him entertained; and the political influence and endless Malfoy vaults will fuel Hermione’s ambitions far more than any Ministry career ever could.
Infuriated by their surprise marriage, Lucius disinherits Draco, barring his access to Malfoy Industries and the family’s political connections, forcing Draco and Hermione to flee London.
It's been two years since anyone has seen them, but now they’re back, and Wizarding Britain is abuzz, speculating on what brought about the return of the Malfoys.
No one knows for sure why they came back, but one thing is clear: the former foes have become partners, united in vengeance, and in marriage.

Hermione Granger isn’t supposed to be a dangerous bitch with her hair tamed into braids or leggings beneath her school skirt or a sneer painted on her face. She isn’t supposed to quietly watch people, only responding to questions if she feels like it. She isn’t supposed to be difficult to read unless she is angry. She isn’t supposed to make the temperature drop several degrees upon entering a classroom. She is supposed to be a swotty, bushy-haired, skinny, book-obsessed, grade-chasing, overemotional, desperate little people-pleaser. That’s what everyone expects. That’s what everyone wants. It doesn’t matter that she’s been through a war, had likely carried her two Gryffindor parasites through every battle, had been the most wanted Muggleborn in Britain. Everyone wants Hermione Granger in a box and now they are shocked and irate to find she no longer fits.
Or... Hermione Granger returns for 8th Year at Hogwarts, is forced to re-sort into Slytherin, and turns everyone's lives upside down.
