Summary
In a post-war London, Hermione and Draco become reacquainted thanks to an unlikely matchmaker. Draco is desperate to atone for his past, and Hermione is yearning to be praised.
Please note: I first began this in spring 2023, and then had work-induced breakdown that saw me abandon the fic for over a year. I've come back now and intend to finish, but please be gentle with me where possible.
You will note that some chapters have changed and disappeared since the original publishing - these chapters haven't gone for good, but will be utilised later now that the fic is more fleshed out in my head.
P.S: All of the chapters are named with Taylor Swift lyrics. This is for no reason other than I found it to be a nice challenge for myself to find fitting lyrics for each part of my writing. Feel free to test yourself with each chapter title. When the fic is all finished I'll include a note that lists which song each chapter is from. :)
Thank you. :)

Summary
Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world is what you might call “a godsdamned mess.” The population is dwindling, the economy is suffering, and Hermione Granger has decided to pursue an arranged marriage—but only so she can be nominated to the antiquated Wizengamot, of course. After all, the Wizengamot is ignoring the world’s problems, and Hermione is determined to fix it. Granted, she never expected to be matched with Draco sodding Malfoy—the newest DMLE consultant who wears his Azkaban tattoos as proudly as his childhood sneer. But admittedly, between the turbulence of her farcical relationship, corrupt politicians, and a serial killer on the loose, nothing in Hermione’s life is going according to plan. Maybe hate sex with her husband will help?

Summary
“Glee was the last thing she felt staring into the empty eyes that should have been a bright grey. His face had always looked pointed and sharp, but now that gave way to gauntness. His hair, which he had been so particular about in school, hung long and limp. It reminded her of how his father had looked in his mugshot. How he had wanted to be just like his father growing up. And now he was, maybe more than ever.
A ghost.”After doing more than her fair share in saving the Wizarding World and bearing the scars of what it cost, Hermione Granger thinks she has earned herself a little respite. But when a charismatic albeit chaotic Theodore Nott convinces her to use an old law to save a dear friend who is about to meet the Dementor’s Kiss, she simply cannot stand by and watch. Follow Hermione as she navigates a world that still believes in blood status, a marriage to save the life of an old enemy and the hurt that comes with surviving.

He's always watched her. He can't help it. Merlin help him, he's been fucking trying though.

But when things take a turn at the Yule Ball, Draco Malfoy decides he's done fighting himself, and Hermione Granger is left floored, struggling to understand this new, strange version of him.
