"What do I smell of to you Hermione? Don't think about it too much. Answer with your instinct." Hermione breathed in again and paid attention to the comfort, warmth and safety that passed over her. "Family," she answered and then, realising what she was saying, tensed. "Greyback does not make us family Bill," she growled. "He is not like us!"
In the three years immediately following the war, Harry and Draco find themselves witholding the truth about their own feelings. But, as they begin to work together, they find it harder to keep lying.
When Minister For Magic Hermione Granger drops her children off at Kings Cross, she has two problems on her hands. One, her imminent divorce and two, the fallout from her removal of funding for a certain blonde wizard's research project. The first is a given: Her marriage just hasn't been the same since Hugo started Hogwarts. The second? Well, maybe she can help in some way...
Hermione manages to get a reservation to an exclusive restaurant for her husband's 40th birthday but it isn't the only surprise she has for him that evening. She is also determined to make the most of the time they still have the Manor to themselves before their children return from Hogwarts. Mostly smut with some fluff at either end. Happy 40th Draco!
