Summary
When Dumbledore is found dead—poisoned—the Ministry goes on high alert. Returning for seventh year under wartime security measures, Hermione Granger is caught off guard when her academic rival, Draco Malfoy, offers to teach her restricted magic in secret.
Soon, whispers about the nature of their relationship run rampant, and students grow wary of the seemingly dangerous pair. As the war closes in, Hermione and Draco are drawn deeper and deeper into an obsession that threatens to consume them—and anyone caught in their orbit.
“Are you ashamed, Granger?”
“Yes,” she whispered, letting her eyes fall closed.
“Why?”
It was no use pretending, he’d know if she lied.
“Because I think—I think maybe I’ll go to hell for this.”
He stiffened. Only for a moment. Then his lips pressed to her throat. His voice was lower when he spoke, rasping against her.

Summary
When Hermione is bitten and infected by Greyback, she loses everything. And coming to terms with being a werewolf is hard enough without accidentally trying to hunt down Draco Malfoy each month.
Draco is half-heartedly fulfilling his duty to his family by courting Astoria Greengrass. There’s just the small matter that a wolf is intent on ripping him limb from limb each full moon and that when the sun rises, Hermione Granger appears naked in its place. It’s distracting, at any rate.

Summary
Bored with Ministry work and a lackluster love life, Hermione Granger decides it's time for a change. She applies and is admitted into the top magic graduate school in Europe, but arrives to find (to her surprise and dismay) that her childhood bully, Draco Malfoy, has been accepted into the same program. They are both looking for a fresh start, but what if all they end up finding is each other?
From Chapter 13:
She watched his eyes turn molten as they roved over her. Then the hand holding her wrist loosened and he slid it all the way down the length of her arm before enclosing it around the back of her neck. She arched instinctively as goosebumps raced over the surface of her body.
He exhaled through his nose.
His eyes met hers and they were full of desire, and longing.
“Malfoy,” she said softly. “Be good.”

Summary
The quickest way to burn a narrative is to set it on fire yourself.
After a very public betrayal, Hermione Granger finds herself recast as cold, frigid, and conveniently unlovable.
She refuses the part.
Draco Malfoy is many things, but subtle is not one of them. When he chooses to stand beside her, the whispers turn into spectacle, and spectacle becomes strategy.
They’ll own the narrative.
They’ll play the game.
They will not blink.It’s strictly mutual.
Strictly controlled.
Strictly temporary. -

Summary
“He’s known for being uncooperative,” the Ministry staffer said, his voice thick with condescension. “He'll need a firm hand, but with the right incentive, he performs adequately.”
Inside the transparent holding cell, the blond man hadn’t looked away from her once. His gaze was ice, his stillness marble. Every inch of him—his perfect posture, his composure, his immaculate hair—radiated old money and Pureblood arrogance.
“His bindings are now keyed to your magic. Sign here, and he’s yours.”
As the ink sank into the parchment, the glass wall vanished. Magic rippled across the manacles, and the words "Property of Hermione Granger" etched themselves into the surface.
