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…)?

Summary
Hermione Granger embarks on a new chapter of her life by opening her own café, determined to create a peaceful space away from the hustle of her past adventures. However, her journey quickly takes an unexpected turn when she hires Draco Malfoy, Pansy Parkinson, and Theodore Nott... former classmates and unlikely candidates as her employees.
Falling in love wasn't part of Hermione's plan, but sometimes the most unexpected feelings stir in the heart, and she finds herself grappling with emotions she never anticipated. As she navigates the complexities of running a café, balancing her budding relationship with the trio, and learning to trust her old rivals turned colleagues, she discovers that love often comes when you least expect it and sometimes, it’s the most delicious part of the menu.

Summary
It isn't often Hermione Granger does stupid things, but making up a boyfriend to avoid pity from her ex and saying she'll bring the made up man to a couple's getaway certainly could be classified as one of her stupider moments. Enter Draco Malfoy, who suggests an arrangement: they pose as a couple long enough for her to keep her pride, and for him to better the Malfoy name by dating a war heroine. What could go wrong?
