The Most Dangerous Game

Hermione Granger's life had its downs, like a cheating boyfriend & a damaged relationship with both parents, but it also had its ups, like a successful career & a boss who handed out holiday like it was candy. She couldn't say she was happy, but she couldn't say she was unhappy, despite the death threats she had recently been getting for working on Muggle cases. What she could say though, was that it was bordering mundane. Being an Auror should have been exciting, but she had nearly everything down to a science: Kill him, detain her, fill out the paperwork and repeat.

Draco Malfoy was harboring several secrets, all having to do with the Golden Girl herself. She was the white noise, buzzing constantly in his head. She was the air he wanted to breath & she was the woman he wanted to marry. His only issue was that he could barely talk to her, even after ensuring he was hired by the Ministry to be close to her.

And Lucius Malfoy? He was sick of it. He hated seeing what his son was, and how he felt towards Hermione himself. It was unnatural, so he did what any rich, dark wizard with an island at his disposal would do & took matters into his own hands.
