I'm very sorry but this is totally boring. And, what's even worse, in contrast to some other readers' opinions, imo Harry and Hermione are totally OOC, to say the least.

Beware: spoilery review to come.

Harry "threatening" to obliviate Hermione if she declines to work on Harry and Draco's secret anti-Voldemort mission. Harry not confiding in Ron, or Ginny who is supposedly the love of his life in this fic? And him trusting Draco so easily in all regards, them suddenly getting along oh so very splendidly. Even though Draco is or rather was at that point Voldemort's 2nd in command?! I have no idea how one can find this portrayal of JK's characters in character. Draco not having killed Hermione or some certain person's parents - let's be clear: was that supposed to be hard to figure out...because it wasn't, not even for just a second... - makes him suddenly a "good" person? Just because he could have killed more people in his 4 years as a loyal little Death Eater, just because Harry and Hermione thought he would have killed way more people does not make it okay. I can't believe even for a second that Harry and Hermione would act like that around that kind of Draco.
And what's even more unbelievable is the fact that Hermione, who thinks for a great portion of the fic that Draco killed her parents, would even for a second consider working, much less living with Draco. Or consider a friendship with him, because he is "different than she thought" (even though Draco admitted "to having killed her parents"). Oh, what's even better is Harry hinting at Hermione and Draco that they might have feelings for each other. Even encouraging a possible relationship between those two. Because, never mind all the rivalry between Harry and Draco back when he didn't actually went around killing people. And never mind him being responsible for murders and torture and and and. Because now he's totally good. On the right side of the war. All past crimes? Ha. Bygones. Because Draco is good people now. So clearly, Harry and Hermione are all for welcoming him with open arms... Right.
