Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?
Find out all this and more in: A HARD ROW TO HOE!

Summary
Three years have passed since Voldemort was defeated. Hermione Granger has forsaken magic in search of a quiet life in London, trying to run from the trauma that plagues her heart. The few Death Eaters who escaped prosecution have been forced underground, angry and volatile.
The Death Eaters want to finish what their leader started. When an accidental spell links Hermione’s life force with theirs, she becomes their greatest weakness. The Death Eaters imprison her at the Malfoy Manor, intent on keeping Hermione away from anyone who might want to use her to strike the last of Voldemort’s followers from the planet.

Summary
After years, Lucius Malfoy thought he could have a peaceful life, alone. He learned how to take care of himself, found comfort in the small things, and then Minister for Magic Kingsley Shacklebolt signs the Pureblood Marriage Law. Lucius is suddenly drawn back into the world, this time with a sly, seditious wife he did not ask for. The allure of the chaos of his past, and the fact Lady Malfoy wants to overthrow the government, is far too tempting to ignore. Maybe old dogs can learn new tricks, after all.
My first and only attempt on the Marriage Law trope. Slow burn, lots of political maneuvering, and Lucius Malfoy being a god of sex.

Summary
In 1993, Gilderoy Lockhart points a stolen wand at Harry Potter and Ron Weasley with the intent to Obliviate them. The wand doesn't backfire. Gilderoy's "discovery" of the Chamber of Secrets is a short-term success.
Other consequences are not short-term at all.
Archived Author's Notes:
I was watching the Chamber of Secrets movie several years back when the scene in question began to play...and immediately I wanted to know what would happen if the wand had done what it was supposed to do. The answer got very complicated, very, *very* quickly.Blame Edgar Allan Poe for the title.
Beta work by Norcumi and Mrs_Stanley. Brit Spellcheck will be performed...soon.
*I use the first 7 books and the Tales of Beedle the Bard as canon, but there are moments from the films used because they left me with fun things to play with.

Summary
Hermione Granger, 27, was the most discussed bachelorette of the wizardry community in the United Kingdom. She was in no rush to settle down just yet, not with so much to be accomplished with her career. It was her work in the Law Enforcement department which made her path cross with Severus Snape again, nearly a decade after the end of the war.
She thought she knew everything there was to know about him, yet his secrets ran much deeper than what she or anyone could have imagined.

Summary
“Granger,” he wrapped his hand around her wrist before she could completely leave. “Sorry for laughing, it’s just -- Merlin, what a ridiculous idea that is…”
“Malfoy!”
"Do you have any plans for later in the night?" he looked at her. His silver eyes met her honey ones. Her mind conjured up old memories of their time together and she wondered if he was also thinking about their encounter, years ago.
"Why do you care?"
"It's Samhain, Granger. We'll be gathering on the castle ruins up north, at midnight."
"You should come," Nott added with a pensive face, with a mischievous glint in his eyes. He was looking at her now as if he knew something that she didn’t and it disturbed her a bit. "The gatherings are great to attune your magic, and the more people, the merrier!"
----Or: The Slytherins invite Hermione to the festival. She might as well have fun there.
COMPLETE!! :)

Summary
To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.

Summary
In September of 1971, Severus Snape finds a forgotten portrait of the Slytherin family in a dark corner of the Slytherin Common Room. At the time, he has no idea that talking portrait will affect the rest of his life.
On 31st July 1995, Harry Potter disappears from Little Whinging a few minutes after midnight. The means of his departure are unfathomable, and the Order's only relief in their concern is the fact that Voldemort was not responsible.
The rest of Wizarding Britain is too busy tearing down their Wizarding Savior via the press to be much concerned, at least until certain Slytherin allies decide that enough is fucking well enough.
