    Summary

    Hermione arrived at Hogwarts eager for a new start as a researcher in residence. She was taking a leave of absence from both her job and her personal life, and she would be making the most of it. Until, one July morning, she was on her way into the library when she noticed there was another person in the reading room. She stopped mid-step and stared at the back of the person’s head. The white-blond hair—it couldn’t be—?

    In which Hermione and Malfoy get up to no good in the Restricted Section as they solve a riddle with mysterious origins.

    Summary

    It's a year since Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy parted in Italy with promises of love and fidelity. The Battle of Hogwarts is over and Voldemort is dead. And although the price paid was high, Hermione is ready to start the rest of her life, and her eighth year studies, with Draco by her side. No hiding and no shame.
    But when Draco finally arrives at Hogwarts, it's obvious that things are very wrong. Why is he acting so strangely? And what happened during the long months he lived as a double agent, passing secrets from the Death Eaters to the Order?
    No one is talking, but Hermione will get to the truth, even if it means breaking her own heart in the process.

    If Bending Light was the warm, lazy Italian summer, this is the dark, brooding Scottish winter. Dress warmly.

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy was in exile, though they called it protection. It was the summer after sixth year and he'd taken Dumbledore's offer, defected to the other side and been sent away to a small town in Italy for his troubles.
    No magic, few rules, and not a lot to do -- until Hermione Granger arrived.

    What do you do when you're thrown into exile with the last person you wanted? You live like there's no tomorrow...
