    Summary

    When the Duke of Wiltshire hires Miss Hermione Granger to be the new governess for his young sister and his ward, they both assume it will be like any other post.

    The duke does not imagine a woman with an unknown past who makes the Manor's corrupted magic react the moment she steps foot on the grounds. And Hermione is not expecting one of her charges to be shrouded in mysteries that she feels compelled to solve, even though the duke continues to get in her way.

    Set against a dying Malfoy Manor, the launching of a young lady in her first Season, and a deepening medical mystery, our favorite couple is drawn together and may find love.

    But there is a problem, and it's even larger than their differences in station: the Manor is hungry, and it wants Hermione all for itself.

    Summary

    In the years since the war, Hermione Granger has endeavored to foster reconciliation and reform — helping those once under the thumb of Voldemort find redemption and even growing close to a family she once despised. But how far will her forgiveness extend?

    When Antonin Dolohov returns from the grave, literally waltzing back into her life at a Yule masquerade, he bears a new name, a new mission, and a new promise: to restore her parents’ memories, albeit with one extreme condition. Hermione must decide how far she will go for her own blood, and how long she can avoid her quickly changing feelings for the man she thought a monster.

    But Antonin is not the only ghost at large, and the stakes get higher as the two of them get closer, week by week, to success — and to each other.

    Audentes fortuna iuvat.

    ***COMPLETE.***

    POVs: Hermione, Antonin, Lucius.

    Summary

    In search of distraction from the memories of the past, Malfoy moves to Bulgaria after the war and puts his combat skills to use as a private security officer.

    He starts a job protecting Viktor Krum’s household as the Quidditch World Cup looms. It is a surprise—and perhaps too much of a distraction—when Malfoy learns that Krum’s lovely, neglected trophy fiancée is none other than Hermione Granger.
