He may need every minute.

Summary
“Did I wake you?” she whispers.
Ron shakes his head. “No. But Harry’s asleep.”
Why he adds the latter, he can’t fathom.
(He can, of course. What he really can’t fathom is what Hermione would be doing here that would necessitate Harry being asleep. Because the implication of that…bloody hell. Mentally, Ron blows out a breath.)
“So is Ginny,” Hermione says. She pauses. “I was wondering if you’d come help me with my shoulder?”

Or, Hermione is injured on a mission and Ron helps.

Summary
Hermione Granger is thirty-seven, married, and vanishing by inches.
In a Ministry built on glass ceilings and half-kept promises, she spends her days archiving the past and erasing herself. Her nights are quieter still—tea gone cold, birthdays forgotten, a marriage that functions only in muscle memory. But when she’s reassigned to a forgotten preservation initiative—and partnered with Draco Malfoy, of all people—the stillness begins to shift.
Their connection starts in margin notes. Quiet corrections. A shared language of theory, silence, and gaze. He doesn’t ask questions. He listens. He sees her.
What follows is not a romance in the way we’re told to want it. It’s slower. Stranger. A fire built beneath floorboards. A life rewritten through letters, glances, and the sacredness of choosing yourself.
This is a story about desire without spectacle, intimacy without performance, and what it means to be seen and wanted for who you are when no one is watching.
