Operation "I do"

Eight years after the Battle of Hogwarts, dark forces are once again stirring. Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy, now working for the Department of Law Enforcement, are far from friends- to put it mildly. But when a dangerous dark wizard is on the loose, they're forced to bury their grudges and team up for a mission that's anything but straightforward:

OPERATION I DO

"Wedding of the Century: The Golden Girl Weds the Youngest Death Eater - A Union to Finally Close the Chapter on the Second Wizarding War!" - Rita Skeeter, Daily Prophet.

On paper, it's a clean sweep-cake tastings, dance rehearsals, and carefully orchestrated public displays of affection to deceive the press and the enemy. What could possibly go wrong?

As they navigate their fabricated romance, personal feelings and the looming threat start to intertwine, leading to unexpected complications. With tensions rising and genuine emotions surfacing, Hermione and Draco must manage the delicate balance between pretence and reality.

Will they be able to keep up the charade and save the day, or will their fake wedding become all too real?
