The Malfoy Contingency

THE MALFOY CONTINGENCY

**A modern magical AU**

Draco Malfoy has a reputation for being brilliant, ruthless, and utterly impossible to work for.

As one of the Ministry's most talented Aurors, he's accustomed to dangerous cases, endless paperwork, expensive suits, and assistants who rarely survive more than a few weeks under his command.

Then there's Vivienne Ashford.

Always impeccably dressed, always in heels, and entirely unimpressed by Draco's temper, Vivienne is the first assistant who refuses to be intimidated by him. She keeps his schedule, fixes his mistakes, makes sure he eats, and somehow manages to keep his increasingly chaotic life from collapsing around him.

Draco insists he doesn't rely on her.

Everyone else knows better.

Then, six months after the death of Astoria Greengrass, Draco discovers he has a son.

Suddenly, the notoriously controlled Auror is juggling a demanding career, a baby he never knew existed, and a six-month-old who seems to have decided Vivienne is the safest person in the world.

Draco has no idea how to be a father.

Vivienne, unfortunately for him, is very good at keeping both of them alive.

What begins as an inconvenient arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them expected: late nights at the Ministry, paperwork covered in baby drool, arguments over bedtime, and a strange little family forming right under Draco's nose.

But Vivienne knows the difference between being needed and being wanted.

And when Draco crosses a line he can never take back, she finally decides she's had enough.

Because the woman who could handle Draco Malfoy can certainly survive without him.

The problem is...

**Draco Malfoy has no idea how to survive without her.**
