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
Truthfully Granger, you were right before. Us talking, it could be trouble..for, for both of us and I don't want...”
She nods. She smiles but it's not right. It's not the smile I want. It looks resigned. It looks wrong.
“Sure Theo. I get it, I will see you around.” She steps back and I can't let it end there so I say one more thing. One more stupid thing. One more thing that I can't bring myself to regret.
“Hey Granger, I would really like it if we could be…not friends.” I hope she understands what I am asking. I hope I don't look as desperate as I feel.
Her soft, secret, smile makes it all worth it. Her eyes, they are full of that mischief that only the people who truly know her would recognize.
“Yeah Theo, I would like that. Not friends.”
POV- First person for Theo, third for everyone else.
This story follows Theodore from 4th year- the end of the war. It will be HEA. If you love soft boy Cinnamon roll Theo turned badass “touch her and die” Theo, pining, protective Draco, and bamf Hermione, you will enjoy this fic. Slow burn.

Summary
His hands coming up to cradle her face silenced her instantly.
Her eyes fluttered closed and she sucked in a breath between her teeth.
“Tell me I'm the only one that felt that when we kissed and I'll leave right now and we'll never speak of this again,” Sirius murmured, lips brushing hers in not quite kiss.
She realized she’d been holding her breath when her lungs began to burn.
“What did you feel?”
“Everything,” he breathed.
Or the one where Hermione and Sirius get trapped together under enchanted mistletoe and have to share a New Years kiss.

Summary
For a moment, she thought she was hallucinating when a tall figure cloaked in black stepped out from the shadows.
A gloved hand covered her mouth before she could cry out.
Just before darkness dragged her under, Hermione’s last conscious thought was a deep sigh of relief at the familiar scent of cinnamon, vetiver, and leather.
Thank Merlin he’d come.
