Summary
Harry Potter is dead, the Ministry has fallen, and the Dark Lord reigns supreme. Nine years after Horace Slughorn saves her from the Muggle-Born Registration Commission, Hermione Dagworth-Granger has finally carved a place for herself in a world she once fought to save—one lost to shadow. When Minister Lucius Malfoy passes an addendum to the Purity Accords requiring all eligible pureblood witches and wizards under age twenty-eight to marry, Hermione is confronted with an impossible choice. With only a year to secure a husband and bury her secrets, the stakes are higher than ever.
Enter Draco Malfoy: Voldemort’s favored young commander, increasingly haunted by his bloodline and the consequences of his allegiance. As war rages and loyalties shift, Hermione and Draco find themselves drawn together, each hiding truths that could destroy them both. In a world ruled by fear and deception, love is a dangerous game—and survival demands a darker kind of courage.

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?
