Summary
Hermione Granger wakes in 1954 with a new name, a pureblood family she wasn't born into, and a brother who spends the summer teaching her how to survive in a world that would destroy her if it knew what she was.
Then she finds Tom Riddle - not a monster, not yet a Dark Lord. Brilliant, controlled, charming in ways that don't match anything she expected. Dumbledore raised him here. Loved him. And maybe that changed everything. Maybe the thing she feared doesn't exist in this world.
She wants to believe that. She's starting to.
But her brother watches her too closely for a man who calls her a duty. And Tom - who notices everything about everyone - has already noticed that she doesn't fit the patterns he uses for everyone else.
And the dates are wrong, the history doesn't match, and nobody will tell her how she got here or why.
Some choices are made. Others are engineered.

Summary
The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.
(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)
