Voldemort has won, Harry is dead and Ginny is the only surviving of her family. Under the new laws, her Pureblood status means she has to marry another of The Ministry's choosing, and she's been gifted to a thoroughly disillusioned Draco. Below stairs at the manor, Hermione is learning her new place in the world as the Malfoy's servant. Former rivals make strange bedfellows.

Reader/Draco insert. You're surprised and bewildered when you're offered the role of Scorpius Malfoy's nanny, what with you being a muggle-born former Hufflepuff. Now you're having to take care of a baby, avoid the sneering gaze of Lucius, and not piss off Narcissa, all while fighting a growing attraction to your widowed boss.

An old rivalry has spelt heartbreak and dishonour for Sevtima Fawley, while the man who ruined her in the eyes of her family revels in his victory. Escaping the past she seeks comfort, acceptance and love from her former professor, but Severus is struggling with his own regrets and secrets. Love triangles, POA-DH, multiple POVs. Sexual content. FF doesn't give enough space!

The women of your family have one thing to do, and one thing only, to marry well. Marrying well means marrying into another Pureblood family, giving them the heirs of the next generation, and keeping free of gossip and scandal. Love doesn't come into it! You know this, you've always known this and yet you can't help but be drawn to your new professor who is anything but suitable.
