    Summary

    The first blood adoption took place in 1946. For years, High Lord Grindelwald has been perfecting his society where magic truly is might, and every witch and wizard under his purview is adopted under the banner of one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. No halfbloods. No muggleborns. Only purebloods.

    In all that time, no child has ever matched with House Ollivander. Then, a young brown-haired witch summons fiendfyre during the adoption ritual, giving Garrick Ollivander a new Heir and a chance of saving his Ancient and Noble house. Time is of the essence, as Hermione must survive her zenith: the by-product of the ritual which had been the death knell for all four of Ollivander's children.

    Hogwarts has developed into a premier school specializing in Masteries, Apprenticeships, and Erudition with students enrolling after their OWLS, but no Ollivander has ever walked the hallowed halls. In a gambit to save his daughter, he enrolls her in Hogwarts to study under the masters with the desperate hope that she will be able to withstand the massive influx of elemental power that is her blood-right. Pureblood politics, accidental bonds, House rivalries, hidden motivations, and unknown histories further complicate the issue.

    Summary

    The Just World Fallacy
    [The cognitive bias that a person’s actions always bring morally fair and fitting consequences to that person, so that all noble actions are eventually rewarded and all evil actions are eventually punished.]

    Another Horcrux has been destroyed, but at what cost?

    In the aftermath of the Gringotts heist, Hermione and Draco find themselves struggling to survive both suffering and separation, which drive them to the limits of their endurance and beyond even as the war goes on, relentless and merciless.

    As the final confrontation with Voldemort approaches, everything is fractured; people, loyalties, and trust. But is it broken beyond repair?

    Summary

    What if Draco never let the Death Eaters into the castle on the night Dumbledore died? What if everyone came back for seventh year?

    Set in 7th year (and the years that follow), this is an epic length slow-burn with: political intrigue, academic rivalry, DESPAIR, so much forced proximity, Draco speaking French, yearning, spying, love triangles and all the Slytherins being Slytherins!

    “I’m sorry,” Hermione said, wincing. “I can try an analgesia charm if you’d like, though…I’m not very practiced.”

    “Just get it over with, Granger. I’m not a child.”

    Hermione drew her hand back to replace the cotton swab. She would normally leave treatments to the trained healers, but Pomfrey and her intern were preoccupied elsewhere in the castle.

    The boy’s jaw tensed as she dabbed at the long, angry laceration bisecting his torso.

    “Sorry,” she murmured quickly again as he hissed in pain.

    “As you’ve said several times, Granger, though I do wonder how sincerely. Apparently your lot are rather unexpected sadists.”

    “Harry didn’t know what the spell would do,” she replied softly.

    “Sectum sempra?” he said, drawing out every syllable. “He couldn’t puzzle that one out?”

    Summary

    Polyjuice. Espionage. Danger.

    It’s six years into a brutal war, and there’s one Horcrux left.

    Hermione Granger must go undercover to pose as Astoria Greengrass in the shadowy halls of Malfoy Manor. Hermione will cross any line if it means completing her mission and ending the war—even if getting intel comes at the cost of seducing Draco Malfoy.

    But what will happen when those lines start to blur?

    Summary

    In this 8th year, Voldemort wins AU, the Wizarding World is a prison, and everyone within it is the monster's prisoner...

    Secrets and lies are valued more than people's lives; they run so deep that they rot beneath the stones. And love, if it exists at all, is just another curse—a curse that Hermione, Severus Snape's daughter, was inflicted by...

    Draco Malfoy is her curse... There are things that aren't meant to be touched, yet their love is immovable.

    Summary

    Cicatrize (from Latin cicatrix, meaning "scar") [sɪkəˈtraɪz] verb: to find healing by the process of forming scars

    ⊱•≼═══════≽•⊰

    Harry James Potter was supposed to have died May 2nd, 1998. He had made peace with the certainty of his death that day. Now that it was no longer a certainty, he didn’t know what to do.

     

    “My dear,

     

    Find what you love and let it kill you.

     

    Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness.

     

    Let it kill you and let it devour your remains.

     

    For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it’s much better to be killed by a lover.

     

    ~ Falsely yours”

     

    ― Kinky Friedman

    Summary

    'After fifty days, he'd finally succumbed to the isolation-induced psychosis that had been nibbling at the corners of his psyche for weeks. Trust Snape to be the first one to physically manifest.'

     

    During the First War, Lucius Malfoy pledged his loyalty to the Dark Lord. While others swore to kill for the cause, Lucius offered something more—his family’s mastery of the Mind Arts.

    As the Dark Lord returns to power once more, Draco Malfoy finds himself confined to the family's Cannes chateau for fifty long days. With little more than schoolwork and Professor Snape’s Occlumency exercises to distract him, Draco wades deeper and deeper into the unknown. Without proper guidance, he risks corrupting the very foundation of his mind with self-fulfilling prophecies of darkness and deceit.

    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

    The war is over, and the Dark has won. Sort of. The ridiculous Order insisted on continuing their fruitless fighting (a cute little resistance). Draco finds these skirmishes incredibly boring, especially when he has to torture people afterward. Ugh.

    Captured and obliviated, Hermione wakes in a sterile interrogation room. Her magic has been siphoned and her memories fractured, but her defiance is intact. Her interrogator is a Death Eater she’d recognize by his stuck-upness alone. But when a second interrogator approaches her with out-of-place kindness, Hermione feels confused. Untethered. Aroused?

    Two faces. One captor.

    She’ll have to decide which version of Draco Malfoy she truly believes in… and whether she’d be willing to surrender.

    Summary

    She stirred, her golden-brown eyes finally focusing on him with a fragile clarity that sent a jolt through his chest. She looked at him like he was a stranger.

    “Who are you?” she asked, voice hesitant.

    The words struck him like a hex.

    She doesn’t remember me.

    Relief at her waking vanished beneath the weight of that realisation, leaving something hollow in its place — something far more dangerous than grief.


    When a late-night Patronus interrupts the chaos of the Auror Office, Draco Malfoy doesn’t hesitate. Hermione Granger’s been attacked—and while she survives, the aftermath is far from clean. Her memories are gone. Not the magic, not the brilliance—but every shared glance, every scar, every sharp-edged truth between them.

    Draco is assigned to keep her safe. It's meant to be temporary. Professional. Detached.

    But memory is a fickle thing, and the threat hunting her is more deeply embedded than anyone at the Ministry dares admit. As secrets rise and loyalties fray, Draco must protect the one person who once knew him too well—and now doesn’t know him at all.

    Not yet.

    Summary

    Some say there’s not much to life at all. You’re born, you live, and you die. But what about everything in-between? Life isn’t that simple, not in their eyes at least.

    Hermione felt life had dealt her the worst of blows. Having been through a war as a Hogwarts student, becoming a healer at St. Mungo’s hospital after, then losing the man she loved. She had become a shell of who she used to be. The bright, forgiving and clever 'golden girl' had gone, replaced by a cold and empty woman pondering if it was worth living at all. All she felt was hate and heartbreak, going about life unchecked and uncaring as she hunted death eaters and traitors alike.

    Draco is trying to turn his life around, but the wizarding community just couldn't understand he had changed. No longer a 'death eater', he now worked as an auror after losing his wife. Harry Potter has accepted him and for both their family's sakes they display a level of civility, but there are always those dragging Draco back into his past and he hated it. Would an unsolved case they were working on turn out to be the end for Draco? Or would it change the course of everything the future held for him...
