Six years after the war, Draco Malfoy is a shadow of his former self. Struggling with the repercussions of his actions, he leaves the wizarding world behind, living anonymously in the Muggle world he once despised. But a chance meeting with the person who haunts his dreams just might be the chance he needs.

It has been a year since the War, and everything is going back to how it once was. Harry and Ron were still the dynamic duo. The Purebloods still ruled the Wizarding community. Hermione was still the girl with lots of courage and intelligence. Only that she wasn't. For her, everything changed. DRAMIONE

A betrayal of the worst kind has Hermione Granger seeking a place of solitude, where she can leave the world behind and be by herself. All Draco Malfoy wants is privacy, and his name to be forgotten. But is that the only thing they both want?

Five Dates, that's what she offered. Five chances for him to prove himself. Five chances for her to fall even deeper.

"Mademoiselle H. Granger, nous vous remercions d'avoir rejoint la Malefoy Inc. Vous aurez rendez-vous ce jour à 15 heures avec le PDG, Monsieur D. Malefoy, afin de discuter des détails de votre contrat." Hermione cligna des yeux. C'était une plaisanterie, pas vrai? Elle n'avait jamais postulé à Malefoy Inc, et plutôt embrasser le postérieur d'un babouin que de s'y rendre!

A short continuation of Draco and Hermione's lives from Something Beautiful in Return.

Autumn turns to winter, and the universe thinks that Hermione needs a change. And when that change comes about, and success follows, another curve ball is thrown her way in the form of a blonde Adonis who turns her comfortable world upside down. (Modern AU Dramoine; no magic, no Hogwarts.)
