    Summary

    Hermione Granger is having the worst year of her adult life. And she lived through a war. She's drowning at work, Ron has a new girlfriend (the bastard), and as Christmas nears the last thing she wants to do is handle awkward conversation with her parents, or the Weasleys. Her solution? A solo Christmas holiday in a remote Scottish cottage. Two weeks of peace, wine, reading, and Crookshanks.

    Draco Malfoy has spent years hiding from the world in Malfoy Manor nursing his guilt. His one escape? An annual two-week retreat to a cottage in the Scottish Highlands.

    Except this year when he arrives, Hermione Granger is already there.

    A booking mix-up. A snowstorm. One cottage. Two people who haven't spoken for a decade. Oh, and Crookshanks.

    This is going to be the longest Christmas of their lives.

    This is an advent calendar fic for December 2025. 24 glorious chapters, one chapter posted each day. Dive in, and enjoy!

    Summary

    “Parvati Patil and Seamus Finnegan.” Both Parvati and Seamus smiled at each other widely and walked up, leaving just three more students. Hermione scanned the room: Ernie MacMillan, Luna Lovegood, and Draco Malfoy.

    Please don't be Malfoy,
    Please don't be Malfoy, she begged internally.

    “Ernest MacMillan and Luna Lovegood,”

    Fuck, fucking fuck.

    ----------------------------------------
    Hermione wants nothing more than to never see Hogwarts again but as she tries to move forward with her life, the mandatory return of all 8th-year students and the announcement of the year-long Unity Project, called the Scavenger Hunt, adds more weight to her already full mental load. To make matters worse, she's paired with her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.

    As the year progresses, unlikely partners face challenges together in various Scavenger Hunts, testing their teamwork, resilience, and eventual understanding.

    Will the Wizarding World heal or will these Gryffindor/ Slytherin duos tear each other apart?

    Summary

    Unspeakable Granger may not be able to make Time-turners, but she's still clever enough to use the leftover Time-sand.

    If she can extract Snape from his timeline right before the moment of his death, then maybe she can save him. But it will take some trial and error—she'll have to start at the beginning of his timeline, and work her way up to the Shrieking Shack in order to calibrate correctly.

    She'll save him.

    Using 10-minute intervals at a time.

    OR

    Hermione gets to meet Severus throughout his own history: starting at Young!Severus and moving through to War!Severus. Flickering in and out of his life until she can save him, and falling in love through it all. :)

    *COMPLETE* + Bonus: Epilogue!!

    Summary

    After returning from an 18-month assignment with the Department of Mysteries, Hermione discovers that her old life in England has changed. Her motley of friends has expanded, and even Draco Malfoy is accepted. And to her profound dismay, the Unspeakable realises that she may need to accept her old bully as well, because the Ministry has assigned Auror Malfoy to her next case—a time-travelling quest to find the lost cure for memory ailments. As the unlikely pair embark on their task, they unravel mysteries and face historical fiends they never expected. And as Hermione grows fonder of the man she never wanted to forgive, she discovers the secret that he’s kept locked away…a secret that makes their task all the more consequential. But can time heal all wounds, or will it break an already damaged heart?
