Olaf - Find him in It's Always Darkest Before the (Second) Dawn. A Hermione/Darkling fic.

“Delicious. Nice caramelization on the potato and well-balanced spices for the quail,” the man says. “You’ll be happy with the meal. If, you know, I survive.” She can’t stop the snort at the dark humour. He seems pleased he nearly made her laugh. “Are you...did you choose this position?” she asks. “Are you kidding? This is a plum gig. I was so happy when the last taster died.” He seems to realize his words and he pulls back. “Sorry.” "It’s fine. I’m only sorry to hear that the meals won’t always be as nice as this. For both our sakes,” she says. “What is your name?” He looks a little stunned that she asks and she can feel some of the eyes around her on them. She ignores it. “Olaf.” She nods. “Well, thank you for taking this risk to protect me. I’ll try not to ask for tea or snacks at odd hours so you can keep a regular schedule.” “Of course,” he says, bowing his head slightly. “I am honoured to serve you.”
