A multi-chapter prequel to "The Return of Blaise Zabini". A bit of fluff and a bit of snark, you'll learn just how this iteration of your favorite pairing came to be. It'll take a bit of convincing but Draco Malfoy is intent on wooing Hermione Granger.

The wizarding community has not quite bounced back in terms of numbers since the end of the war. Desperate times call for desperate measures and a Marriage Law is enacted by the Ministry. Hermione isn't even dating anyone, let alone ready to be someone's wife. Draco has a secret that he'd rather not share. Odd couples are made and they have a year to figure it all out.

Blaise Zabini has been gone from wizarding London for nearly two years. In his first week back, he finds himself at the Ministry's annual Christmas party and is surprised to see a certain blonde Slytherin who definitely doesn't work for the Ministry. What in the world has brought him there anyway?

After a disastrous assignment between their offices goes awry, Draco Malfoy finally gets the chance to admit his feelings for a certain muggle-born witch, much to her ex's dismay. Will he regret his actions? Humor and fluff await!

Draco Malfoy hears from a very reliable source that Hermione Granger could kiss a man senseless and intends to investigate for himself. In usual Slytherin fashion, he'll use this knowledge to his advantage.
