Summary
When the Duke of Wiltshire hires Miss Hermione Granger to be the new governess for his young sister and his ward, they both assume it will be like any other post.
The duke does not imagine a woman with an unknown past who makes the Manor's corrupted magic react the moment she steps foot on the grounds. And Hermione is not expecting one of her charges to be shrouded in mysteries that she feels compelled to solve, even though the duke continues to get in her way.
Set against a dying Malfoy Manor, the launching of a young lady in her first Season, and a deepening medical mystery, our favorite couple is drawn together and may find love.
But there is a problem, and it's even larger than their differences in station: the Manor is hungry, and it wants Hermione all for itself.

Summary
Nine years ago, Hermione Granger created a plan to become Minister of Magic by the time she turned 60. As part of that plan she knew she needed a husband and two children to convince the public to support her.
She is now approaching her thirty-fourth birthday and is still single, though not for lack of trying. She's questioning her dating methodology as friends grow distant, her parents age, her fertile years are peaking, and the professional goals she created at twenty-five are starting to become harder to cling to. She knows she needs something to change, but that's easier said than done when Draco Malfoy won't leave her the fuck alone.
As for Draco, there's nothing quite as alluring as an angry Hermione Granger, and that's why he's been teasing her for the last ten years. It's only when he comes up with his best idea yet - and gets himself assigned as her security detail for an event that absolutely does not require it - that he starts to peel back the layers and sees her for who she really is. She's more than just a beautiful witch with a fierce temper. She's flawed, lonely, and starting to burn out.
Draco knows he can help. He just needs to her to say yes first.

In a Moment, Everything Can Change by Midnight_shooting_Star

Summary
Hermione watched dumbfounded as a young redheaded girl ran past and kissed her husband right in front of her. He hadn’t even left the muddy Quidditch field. He didn’t even try to break the kiss, but his face turned ghastly white when he saw Hermione. Her face burned red in anger. “You said you weren’t going to be here.”
“What the bloody hell was that supposed to mean? I thought I would surprise my husband, but I guess you obviously had a surprise for me.” She scolded.
“Mione’ come on now, it’s just a fan. We don’t have anything going on.” The young redheaded girl looked at him, rather upset and taken aback by his words.
Hermione could tell in that moment that there was a bit more to the story of a random fan giving him a heavy kiss. Other players were starting to leave the field, and at that moment, she didn’t care. She grabbed hold of the first person to walk by, planted a deep kiss, and closed her eyes. Her warm hands rested on the stranger’s cheeks. The stranger was a bit surprised and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. When she opened her eyes, shock settled in, not the fact that she randomly kissed someone from the opposing team, but it was Draco Malfoy. ‘What have I done!?’

Summary
Hermione Granger is trying but her entire world is her job and she just can't stand the thought of dating another whiny man child.
In a moment of weakness she signs up for an app that promises her Daddy archetypes, Brat Tamers, Pleasure Doms, Mentors, Soft Doms and many more. It's a little extreme but surely a man who is willing to tie her up will be capable of supplying his own dinner whilst she's otherwise incapacitated.
She never expected to come across her high school's bad boy. The one that disappeared after a scandal. The one that was renowned as a considerate and mind blowing lover.
Overcome with curiosity Hermione can't resist swiping right.

Summary
She lost her magic slowly, at first.
It started as a creeping deadness somewhere low in her abdomen.
It spread outward like necrosis into her chest and her head and her limbs. She had no recollection of when, exactly, it had begun.
~
Hermione has made a name for herself in the Order as a gifted inventor of spells. As the war careens into its seventh year, she fights to keep Harry alive by developing a potion that strengthens his magic to the detriment of his physical health. Wracked with guilt at his rapid deterioration and desperate to save his life, she risks liaising with Draco Malfoy, the head inquisitor in Voldemort’s secret police force and a talented but dangerous Legilimens. Her risk does not go to plan, and after enduring months of brutal captivity, she loses her capacity to do magic.
To her dismay, Malfoy now seems to be her only hope of regaining her former ability.
A dark, slow-burn war AU about trauma, recovery, and reclamation of feminine power
