    Summary

    For his crimes as a Death Eater, Draco Malfoy is sentenced to five years of cursed exile, condemned to wear his Death Eater mask. As reparations for her torture, Hermione Granger is awarded Malfoy Manor and its fortune.

    Little does she know the manor can only change hands through death, marriage, or extended residency. Forbidden to let Voldemort's former seat of power rot, she must complete the transference at the behest of Shacklebolt's new Ministry.

    Now forced under the same roof for a year, a war hero and a disgraced Death Eater must confront their shared history, their deepest prejudices, and an unexpected truth: healing doesn't always happen alone.

    Welcome to the Grangerification of Malfoy Manor.

    Summary

    He and Granger had abided by their clearly established roles for the last 7 years, and now suddenly she had not only changed the rules but upended the metaphorical game board. Draco had enough on his mind, enough to deal with, without adding a potentially volatile Granger into the mix.

    She had been despondent, yelled at him, backed down from their typical tête-à-tête, apologised to him, accused him of being nice, laughed like she was unhinged, thanked him, smiled at him, touched him, then collapsed inward and fled.

    She was a living, breathing tornado. He didn't know if he was supposed to be offended, grateful, concerned, or intrigued by the whole situation, but he was pretty sure that he was all of those things and some others he couldn't quite put a finger on yet. It was all dizzying and incredibly distracting.


    Or... The war is over. Hermione and Draco both find themselves back at Hogwarts for eighth year — alone in a castle full of people, haunted by the past and present — their wounds still unhealed. For now.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger thought her Ministry posting as a Fixer would mean long nights of paperwork and the occasional cursed artefact. Instead, she’s handed a black-market love potion epidemic—and ordered to confirm the antidote with none other than Severus Snape, a decade into his reclusive career as Britain’s most infamous Master potioneer.

    But Snape hasn’t been working alone. At his side is Draco Malfoy—still clawing his way through a late-in-life apprenticeship after Azkaban, still tethered to the man who saved him.

    One lab accident is all it takes to turn theory into nightmare. Caught in the throes of Lust Potion #9, Snape is incapable of taking Hermione’s no for an answer. It has bewitched his mind and ensnared his senses, leaving him with only one goal: to enact every ounce of punishment he’s ever secretly wanted to take out on his swottiest student. And he is more than happy to force his repressed apprentice along for the ride.

    What begins as a Ministry assignment spirals into something far darker: a tangle of power, obsession, and control—where consent is the first casualty.

    Summary

    Sequel to Hermione Granger and the Year Hidden From Hogwarts.

    Hermione was born with abilities inherited from an ancient bloodline, or two. Now that she's passed the Goblin Trials, been admitted to Hogwarts officially, and has Flitwick as her mentor, things should be shaping up for her. However, craziness abounds. She wasn't counting on all the craziness that happens in a magical school. Join her as she ventures into the Wizarding World for the first time, trying to assimilate to a world with people similar to her while also keeping some secrets to herself that, even in the magical world, should not be possible.

    This is the second book in a long series. Hermione's relationships aren't set in stone at this point, especially because she's so young in this book and hasn't yet been to Hogwarts. Just be warned that I tend to write and enjoy reading Hermione/Multi, so it'll probably end up being like that when we wrap up. Either way, the driving force is the plot, and less on the romance.

    Summary

    Hermione is descended from an ancient, powerful line, or two. Because of the potent mix in her Muggleborn blood, she inherited rare abilities long thought lost to the Wizarding World. Follow her as this brings trouble right to her doorstep in a hectic series of world-traveling adventures.

    This is a lighter, fix-it type of story. While some of the misadventures Harry embarks on will happen, they’ll either be off-screen or altered from canon. The point of this series is to create new adventures for Hermione and embark on those journeys with her friends. She'll experience crushes and dates along the way, though there aren't any solid pairings at this point. Part of the adventure is not knowing who her end game is. Just be advised that I have a proclivity for Hermione/Multi. pairings or reverse-harem pairings.

    Apart from the first book which is a prequel of sorts, each book will follow one year at Hogwarts and the mischief she gets up to over the summer.
