    Summary

    Harry Potter never actually beat Voldemort, but rather fought him to a standstill while Europe burned around them. Finding himself an unwilling part of a dark ritual to send him back in time twenty years, he is surprised to see how Dumbledore reacts to proof of obvious child abuse (Harry's), how eleven-year-old super genius and Witch Queen in training Hermione reacts to actually having a socially competent friend (Harry), and how much easier it is to shrug off the insults of munchkins when you're a grizzled war veteran.

    But there is one huge problem: being sent back blew out his magic entirely. Just waving his wand knocked him out the first time he tried it. Can Hermione help him though his classes even with his magic almost unusable? Will Harry be able to find the secrets to actually killing the Dark Lord and saving his friends from a horrible future without blowing his cover, or even getting mistaken for the Dark Lord himself? Will Neville Longbottom get better grades than him?

    Summary

    “Glee was the last thing she felt staring into the empty eyes that should have been a bright grey. His face had always looked pointed and sharp, but now that gave way to gauntness. His hair, which he had been so particular about in school, hung long and limp. It reminded her of how his father had looked in his mugshot. How he had wanted to be just like his father growing up. And now he was, maybe more than ever.
    A ghost.”

    After doing more than her fair share in saving the Wizarding World and bearing the scars of what it cost, Hermione Granger thinks she has earned herself a little respite. But when a charismatic albeit chaotic Theodore Nott convinces her to use an old law to save a dear friend who is about to meet the Dementor’s Kiss, she simply cannot stand by and watch. Follow Hermione as she navigates a world that still believes in blood status, a marriage to save the life of an old enemy and the hurt that comes with surviving.

    Summary

    **COMPLETE**
    Years after the war, Hermione finds herself traveling to Romania to help Charlie track down an unknown species of Dragon that's been sighted in the mountains of the national forest.
    While Charlie is looking to capture and relocate the new species to the sanctuary for further research, Hermione's interest is to enforce the laws involving the transportation and exploitation of the creature.
    That is, until she comes in contact with the Dragon when no one else has been able to approach it. She finds that there is an almost human intellect to it and it exhibits something akin to emotions.
    She soon discovers that the new species is not as it appears and is indeed her past nemesis, Draco Malfoy.
    He has been cursed to live out his days as a beast and his nights as a man, forever alone with only his memories to haunt him as he struggles to survive alone in the wilderness.

    *Rest assured, the Infidelity tag refers to Ron being a scumbag and not Hermione/Draco*
    *Also…Charlie looks like Jamie from Outlander. Have fun with that.*

    Summary

    NOW COMPLETE!
    Hermione was just trying to have a normal Tuesday: feed her overly dramatic cat, open a definitely-dangerous ancient armoire, ignore Cormac McLaggen until he wanders off to do whatever it is useless men do.

    Instead, she got: A surprise heist, four suspiciously well-coordinated intruders in designer cloaks, one ancient book radiating “murder me” vibes and a front-row seat to what can only be described as a magical boyband breakup under extreme stress.

    Inside the warehouse: Chaos, spells, and a near-bludgeoning featuring one decorative bust. Outside the warehouse: Harry Potter with 36 Aurors, a plan held together with sellotape and rage, and Ron Weasley seconds from committing murder on live Prophet coverage.

    It’s like Ocean’s Eleven had a baby with Die Hard and gave it a wand, a trauma bond, and a lot of feelings no one is emotionally equipped to handle. The intruders say they want the cursed object. Hermione suspects what they really need is group therapy, juice boxes, and a very long nap.

    The Vault is: 50% tension 30% sarcasm 20% bad decisions and 100% one Gryffindor witch with a coin-based panic button saving her own damn life while the wizards argue about tactical logistics.

    Summary

    In the aftermath of the Second Wizarding War, the wizarding world is struggling to rebuild, and so are its survivors. Hermione Granger has dedicated herself to healing the wounds left behind, leading groundbreaking research to undo the damage wrought by dark magic. But when a shadowy new threat emerges, she finds herself reluctantly paired with the last person she ever expected to trust—Draco Malfoy.

    Now an Auror, Malfoy is determined to atone for his past, his icy composure masking years of guilt and regret. Tasked with protecting Hermione as she uncovers a dangerous conspiracy threatening everything they fought to protect, Draco must navigate a treacherous path between duty and redemption.

    As secrets unravel and the stakes climb higher, Hermione and Draco are forced to confront not only their shared history but the unspoken connection growing between them. Caught in a web of intrigue, betrayal, and forbidden alliances, they must decide where their loyalties lie—and how far they’re willing to go to save a world still teetering on the edge of collapse.
