Summary
“Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”
The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.
Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.
Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.
[This story begins in third year and updates Sundays and Tuesdays.]

Bookmarker's Notes
Basically went on a reading bender and got through this whole thing in a little over two days. My god I need sleep. It's excellent, though also harrowingly realistic about the... frustrations of societal progress (and regress). I picked it up for the "Draco malfoy in the muggle world" tag, because I love characters being Put In Situations, and especially appreciated the expanded worldbuilding. Though now I'm worried that all future fics where Draco isn't besties with JFF will feel like they're missing something very integral to him

Summary
"Are you going for the course?" Lovegood asked. "You have the NEWTs.”
“What course?” Draco said, then, “No, don’t be ridiculous,” when he realized she meant the notice pinned up on the board he’d been staring at: Applicants To The Introductory Mediwizard Course For The Coming Term Shall Present Themselves In The Chief Mediwizard’s Office By August 24th.
“Oh, I thought you might,” she said. “Well, goodbye.” And off she wandered again in her addled way.

Summary
Hermione frowned. “The real question is why the magic of Britain would be failing now, in fact.”
“That is not the real question!” Ron said loudly; he’d woken up fully by now, and Harry had too; it was starting to sink in that they’d found the problem. “The real question is, how do we fix it?”

Summary
Wheeljack opens Brainstorms confiscated briefcase, thinking it's an old experiment of his own. Instead, he gets tossed back in time, right before Starscream is placed on a very public trial for the murder of his scientific exploration partner, Skyfire.
His past self sympathized but stayed out of it. That Wheeljack was on the fast track to becoming one of Sentinel’s top scientists, closely watched, and quietly warned that a single misstep could jeopardize his future.
The Wheeljack that spent the majority of his life as the Autobot's chief of engineering, and knows Starscream’s sentencing plays a huge part in igniting the war?
He’s interfering.
