    "I'm not a babysitter. Especially not for Shadowhunters. Find someone else," Magnus began to shut his door when Robert, Maryse's husband, slammed his palm against the wood, preventing Magnus from fully closing it.

    "Please. It's only for a couple of hours while we negotiate sanctuary at the institute in New York. I'm begging you. Please protect my son."

    Magnus sighed heavily and looked back down at the baby boy."

    Summary

    Over the last decade, the Clave has imposed increasingly more stringent restrictions on Shadowhunter-Downworld relations. When a spike in demon activity suggests a greater demon is on the loose in New York weeks before Christmas, Alec seeks the help of the High Warlock of Brooklyn, Magnus Bane. Isabelle is delighted. Jace thinks he’s lost his mind.

    But he’s having visions that he can’t explain, and they have one thing in common: they all feature Magnus.

    ***

    In which Clave-Downworld relations have soured (to say the least), Christmas is the backdrop to a demon’s reign of terror, and Alec can’t get Magnus out of his head. Literally.

    Summary

    “I need a favour,” Harry says on the other end of the phone, and Hermione twines her fingers through the cord. “But you won’t like it.”

    Hermione sighs. “What do you need, Harry?” It’s her night off and she just wanted to curl up with Crookshanks and relax, but the telephone had rung twice. Not quite an emergency, but not something to ignore.

    “There was a mix-up with the Portkeys. Malfoy got snagged by muggle police and needs someone to bail him out.” There’s a pause – Harry drawing in a breath – and Hermione closes her eyes to brace herself for the inevitable. “Can you – we’re swamped over here – I barely managed to get away to ring you.”

    Summary

    She probably could have been content in her position at the Ministry. Throwing her shoulder against the wheel to turn it inch by inch.. if it hadn’t been for them. Damn them and their half smiles and discoveries and IDEAS.

    Of course, they weren't the only ones to see her untapped potential and it soon becomes a race against shadowy powers to protect her freedom.

    If it hadn't been for them, she might not have survived and she certainly wouldn't have learned what it was to live and love.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Masterful, it even humanises Bellatrix without lessening her evil.

    Hermione and Draco are delightful, cunning, clever and darkly funny

    Traumatic af but worth it

    And Draco Malfoy learns there's nothing he won't do to cheer the Golden Girl up, including making a fool of himself.

    ---

    Or, Theo takes a leaf out of Will Greyson's (The Devil's Night series) book and dances on top of a table while singing My Prerogative, then forces a somewhat reluctant blond to participate, half-naked.
