“I am not,” she said hurriedly and with great emphasis, “asking this because I like you in any way. Or have any kind of feelings or attraction towards you. In case it hasn’t been clear during the last five years we’ve worked together, I think you’re a terrible person.”

Cordial Enemies

Summary: There are wedding bells on the horizon.

Resolutely single Hermione Granger finds herself under the relentless spotlight of the gossip magazines when the wedding of her ex, Ron, draws near. In a fit of desperation, she forges an alliance with her career antagonist, the serially single but tabloid eligible Draco Malfoy. Their plan is simple; spend two weeks pretending to be madly in love and then go their separate ways once the wedding’s over.

It should be easy. They are, after all, cordial enemies.

Chapter 1: Actually, Actually

“I see you made the front page. Again. ” Blaise sounded as long-suffering as Draco felt.

Draco’s own face was reflected back at him; his smile glassy and his hair extra shiny under the glossy front. The photo winked at him, and he suddenly understood just why Hermione Granger had punched him all those years ago.

“I just want to know why I didn’t turn up on this list.” Blaise flicked through the magazine to the offending article, licking his fingers professionally as he turned each page. “Am I not eligible enough?”

The article once again announced, just for any unmarried women who might have missed it the first time, that he, Draco Malfoy, was the most eligible bachelor in the entire British Isles, including Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales. In fact, this newer article was now proclaiming that they had made an original error and Draco was in fact the most sought-after single wizard in the whole of Europe. Like the Golden Snidget, he was almost the last of his kind: young, wealthy and single.

“Maybe you should write to the editor and complain,” Draco said, looking around furtively.
