    Summary

    When Lavender Brown sees someone in trouble, her first instinct is to go help, even if that someone is as unpleasant as a Blast-Ended Skrewt. So in fifth year, when Lavender has a prophetic dream in which Professor Snape is bitten by a giant snake, she immediately starts planning to save him.

    Along the way, Lavender learns to enjoy Potions and even, slowly, starts to appreciate the teacher she's trying to save. Their newfound mentorship, however, makes the bewilderment Lavender feels all the more painful when Snape kills Dumbledore at the end of sixth year. What does it mean to have faith and kindness, when there seems to be so little to go around?

    The future has teeth Lavender can’t predict, and all her bids for security go nowhere. But that doesn’t mean there can’t be other, better surprises in store.

    Summary

    The war ended ten years ago. Five years later, while working for the Department of Mysteries, Hermione discovers information that leads to her walking away from the wizarding world. A curse prevents her from speaking about the details, and she does her best to live a boring, muggle life.

    A chance encounter five years later with Draco Malfoy in a bar, reignites her fire. With his help, she begins to find her way back into a world that wasn't built for people like her.

    Sometimes, things have to be broken before than can be fixed. Great in theory, a bit harder when the broken thing is the Ministry, and the only person willing to fight with you used to be your enemy.

    This is a slow burn, but good things are worth waiting for.
