Summary
“Do you remember when I told the minister that the Time Turner isn’t a weapon?”
“Yes.”
“I was wrong. It is a weapon. In the wrong hands, it could—it could destroy everything.”
It’s been twelve years since the war ended. Ten years since Draco Malfoy was forced from the depths of his depression by a mother and friends who refused to let him die in peace. Six years since he became an Auror for all the wrong reasons.
And for the next month, he's been assigned to protect Hermione Granger as she completes her latest invention: a new type of time travel.
You can’t change what happened, she told him. There could be catastrophic effects, cascading like ripples in a pond. So when they find themselves at the centre of a dark conspiracy that leaves them trapped in a past he’s been running from his whole life, they need to find a way home without unravelling their future.

Summary
The ghosts of Hermione’s past have risen, and they carry with them a message: Come home, come home, to where it all began. Driven to the cusp of sanity by a curse without a name, Hermione has no choice but to obey.
It’s silent as the grave in Wiltshire, and the manor stands nearly empty save for a dying woman and her reclusive son. But something stirs in Malfoy Manor that shouldn’t be there. Something with teeth.
And when she walks at night, she doesn't walk alone.

Summary
‘Well it doesn’t make any difference whether or not Malfoy wants a torrid love affair because he can’t have one on his own.’
‘Oh please. Are you trying to insinuate that if he rocked up to you with that face and that body, and said hey Granger let’s do something my Father will never hear about, you would walk away?!’
‘I am not going to have a torrid love affair with Malfoy!’
‘We’ll see.’ Ginny said knowingly.

Summary
After returning from an 18-month assignment with the Department of Mysteries, Hermione discovers that her old life in England has changed. Her motley of friends has expanded, and even Draco Malfoy is accepted. And to her profound dismay, the Unspeakable realises that she may need to accept her old bully as well, because the Ministry has assigned Auror Malfoy to her next case—a time-travelling quest to find the lost cure for memory ailments. As the unlikely pair embark on their task, they unravel mysteries and face historical fiends they never expected. And as Hermione grows fonder of the man she never wanted to forgive, she discovers the secret that he’s kept locked away…a secret that makes their task all the more consequential. But can time heal all wounds, or will it break an already damaged heart?
