Summary
To think that blackmailing and capturing a beetle in a jar at 15 would come back to pinch 28 year old Hermione Granger with its pincers...She doesn't know how Rita Skeeter was able to find the connection between her rise at the ministry and with Pansy Parkinson's face ending up on every Wizarding advertisement and magazine blowing kisses to the world. Pansy's reputation couldn't achieve that even if she was an heiress. Hermione's fame couldn't help with the elites who refused any change to their 'traditions and old ways'. Not when there was no profit that could be made.
Rita stirred the public's thoughts about the shared success: Is it bribery with the Parkinson Family or was it embezzling—both? Who's to profit from all of this? The elves? OR, is this all just a complete Crumple-Horned Snorkack?
Along with Rita's investigative journalism, Corruption Officer Padma Patil wants to know the truth too. Now even Hermione's chances for Minister were in jeopardy. The two witches double down with their own story and refuse to admit any wrongs. Either their youthful mistakes came back to hold them accountable or somebody betrayed them. It was time for Hermione to face her own faults and for Pansy to let her own go.

Bookmark Notes:
embezzlement/white collar crime is such a specific set up lmao, but holy shit it leads to such delicious banter, the sexual tension goes off the roof and i was not ready for such layered portrayal of hermione and pansy
this story proves that elements of romcom can flow with political intrigue and reflections on war, the author hits every beat
i kind of went in blind and missed the tag marriage of conveniance, so i was more than pleasantly surprised that this long fic finds Pansmion as whole ass WIVES from the get go, oooh the slow burn still GOAT
