    Summary

    Years. Broken into months into weeks into days—into hours, minutes, seconds—into moments. Simple at one end, complex at the other. In Draco’s experience, moments, even when simple, had a habit of becoming irretrievable. Moments grew, stretched, multiplied into ages and eras that defined whole stretches of measurable time. Draco regretted several moments in his life, some within his control, some without: all of them irretrievable in nature. At a certain point, wedged between ‘what-ifs’ of his own devising, he’d stopped trying to keep track of those regrettable moments: now and then, pushing and pulling, coming and going, beginning and end. Moments were only moments for just as long. After that, he had no control.

    Draco is not amused.

    “Party bags.” His lips twitched. “Aren’t we a bit old for that? The last time I got party favors was Greg’s eighth birthday.”

    “No, nothing like that.” Her grin returned. “The party bags have toilet paper, rice, toast, squirt guns, a deck of cards...” She tried to remember what else was included. “It’s been a while. I’ve probably forgotten some of the items.”

    “And what do we do with all that?”

    She laughed nervously before answering. “Throw them at the screen.”

    “We throw toast at the screen?” he repeated in disbelief.

    She nodded. “And shout at the film too, while it’s happening.”

    Malfoy furrowed his brow. “Muggles do this for fun?”

    “Some Muggles.”

    “Ah.” His eyes brightened in understanding and he tapped the side of his nose. “The weird ones.”

    Her voice rose defensively. “It’s a cult classic!”

    “So you’re part of a cult.” He chuckled at her scowl. “Are you one of the weird Muggles, Granger?”

    Draco cut her off. “You may have my wand, but you're not in control of the flow of information here. It’s not your life on the line.”

    Granger bristled at his assertion. “My life is on the line every day.”

    “So. Is. Mine.” He growled back. “Give me my fucking wand and don’t be so bloody obvious when you contact me.”

    She narrowed her eyes. “I already told you I'd be more careful next time.”

    She better be.

    “One more thing.”

    “What, Malfoy?” she snapped, still angry she hadn’t gotten the information she wanted.

    He pointed his finger at her so she would understand how important this was. “You need to learn Occlumency. If you’re captured, I’m dead.”

    She stared back in defiance. “We both are.”

    He couldn’t argue with that.

    She tossed his wand to the floor and Disapparated with a crack.

    Summary

    "You shall collect the Princess, Draco Malfoy, and you will bring her back where she belongs."

    Three years after the death of Albus Dumbledore, the Order of the Phoenix and the Death Eaters are in the middle of a never-ending war, until an old wizarding legend raises the stakes. On the morning of Hermione Granger's twentieth birthday, she wakes up with the mark of a willow seared into her skin. Though the Order doesn't recognize the symbol, a Death Eater does when he faces Hermione in battle. Hermione has been marked with the Mark of Morganna, proving that she is the last remaining descendant of Morganna Le Fay, the original witch. When Voldemort learns this, he sends one of his followers to bring Hermione back to his side, both because of her newfound pureblood status, and the incredible power she wields. The Death Eater he sends: Draco Malfoy.
