It takes the unexpected engagement of their children to get Draco and Hermione in a room together, but only the selfish acts of their estranged spouses and a 300 Galleon bottle of firewhiskey will get them in a bedroom. What starts out as a one time mistake soon becomes a full-blown affair with a deadline; the day their children say 'I do'. But things rarely go according to plan.

The Dark Lord has won. Harry is dead. Draco is tasked with the protection of Hermione Granger, and somehow manages to catch feelings along the way. A dark twist on the classic fairytale. (Warning: Graphic Violence, Sexual Content, and Coarse Language).
