    Summary

    “So this…ensures fealty?” she guessed. “To make sure neither party strays, so that the intended bloodlines merge appropriately?”

    Malfoy glanced to the side, jaw working again. “Close. But not exactly.”

    A cursed object that was used during traditional, forced marriages to encourage the production of an heir. Ah. So, something to do with the act directly, rather than simply facilitating the act. A joyous conspirator.

    And then it clicked.

    Latin’s version of French’s a little death.

    Oh,” she blurted.

    Summary

    The curve of his mouth is fond, eyes amused.

    She likes the way he looks at her; likes the person she’s become around him. It reminds her of how she used to be, ten years and two relationships ago, when every thought heralded a world of new possibilities.

    What would she have been like, had she met him then? What would she have been like, had she never had her heart broken by Ron? Had never settled down with Viktor?

    Inside, a tiny voice whispers: you can still find out.

    ———

    Or when estranged, pregnant Hermione goes on a solo babymoon and meets someone.

    Summary

    The room bursts into catcalls and whoops, but Hermione just blinks down at it. Charcoal? It doesn’t immediately compute.

    “You don’t seem surprised,” Malfoy drawls. “Have you been naughty this year, Granger?”

    Oh.

    Those bastards.

    Summary

    She has a cat, the same ugly orange thing that she’d had at Hogwarts. She lives in a flat in Clapham Common, has a bird-feeder outside her kitchen window, and is engaged in a war of attrition with the squirrels who believe they are entitled to her Songbird’s Favourite Patio Mix. She wears glasses most days, but contact lenses when she has an important meeting. She loves hazelnut and is allergic to kiwi. She finds Ted’s golf stories tedious.

    And now he can add to the Granger, Hermione entry that a piece of pale mint green glass, tossed and tumbled through a thousand ocean waves, is enough to make her stop at his desk and speak to him.
