Summary
She lost her magic slowly, at first.
It started as a creeping deadness somewhere low in her abdomen.
It spread outward like necrosis into her chest and her head and her limbs. She had no recollection of when, exactly, it had begun.
~
Hermione has made a name for herself in the Order as a gifted inventor of spells. As the war careens into its seventh year, she fights to keep Harry alive by developing a potion that strengthens his magic to the detriment of his physical health. Wracked with guilt at his rapid deterioration and desperate to save his life, she risks liaising with Draco Malfoy, the head inquisitor in Voldemort’s secret police force and a talented but dangerous Legilimens. Her risk does not go to plan, and after enduring months of brutal captivity, she loses her capacity to do magic.
To her dismay, Malfoy now seems to be her only hope of regaining her former ability.
A dark, slow-burn war AU about trauma, recovery, and reclamation of feminine power

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…)?
