Summary
Bellatrix held her gaze, eyes glinting with something unwholesome. “I do prefer it when you do other things to my skin.”
And once again, Hermione’s brain was gone. Off. In the gutter. Derailing itself with horrifying efficiency.
No.
She tore her eyes away, mentally superimposing the image of her grandfather at Christmas – spectacularly pissed, stark bollock naked under a tartan robe, arguing with the angels in the tree. Still not enough. So she added the memory of that one chapter in Magical Maladies and Their Management, the one with close-up photos of Spattergroit pustules. That did the trick.
Refreshed, centred, pure of thought, she cleared her throat and continued the tour.
Or: Bellatrix Lestrange is supposed to stop committing crimes. Hermione Granger is supposed to stay impartial. Neither of them is very good at following instructions. There’s a dead man, a collapsing investigation, and a rapidly collapsing sense of professional distance.
(Works both as a sequel to Of Magic, Mayhem and Poor Decisions and as a standalone if you don’t like slow buildings.)

Summary
Her grip faltered, her fingers loosening on the fabric, but she didn’t let go. Her heart was hammering in her chest, loud enough she swore Bellatrix could hear it.
Suddenly, she didn’t know whether she wanted to punch the woman or melt into her. Or perhaps, show Bellatrix with her teeth exactly what she thought of her wretched philosophy.
Or:
Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts to complete her final year, believing the war is behind her – until someone goes missing and her only lead is the infuriatingly uncooperative Bellatrix Lestrange. Their partnership is doomed to explode… though not quite in the way she expects.
