Prologue

Draco Malfoy was not the type to fall in love, and after the war that statement only became stronger. He knew he would never marry for love but he also knew that he needed to marry, and soon. His plan was simple, if he was not going to marry for love then he must marry for the public eye. He must marry the one person who everyone knew and adored, Hermione Granger.

They had their past, however rocky and hated it was. The only thing he had to do was convince her it was all because of his dad, that he was being pressured into not showing his true feelings. He must convince her that he, Draco Malfoy was in love with thee Hermione Granger. That would not be a simple task, but the fact that his father is in Azkaban might help in his cause. When and if his father was ever let out he could always say that it was only for the public eye, which it is.

First he needed all the information, where she worked, who she was friends with, how to get to her, things like that. It was not an easy job and at certain points he had to bribe the people he was asking into telling him what he wanted to know. Then obliviating their minds in order to keep anyone from knowing what he was doing. Didn't want Hermione getting suspicious.

Hermione worked at the ministry of magic, creating new spells and counterspells for the future. She also got to research all she wanted, had a library open to her 24/7 it was obviously the perfect job for thee Hermione Granger, winner of the best reader award. That is she would have the best reader award, if there was such a thing.

She was still friends with Harry Potter and Ronald Weasely, whether that was good for Draco or not was yet to be decided. She had her regular outings with Ginny Weasely and Luna Lovegood, sometimes Neville Longbottom joined them. Draco had a sneaky suspicion it was for the attention of a certain blonde witch, if so Longbottom had absolutely no chance. Hermione also had friends in her work, a fellow named Henry Thorpe and a girl named Lilian Marks. Lilian was a mudblood but Thorpe was a halfbood.

It seemed Hermione Granger had hardly changed from her Hogwarts self. That could come in handy later, at least she wasn't a completely different person who he couldn't read and control, it would be much easier this way.
