Summary
Dumbledore raised Tom Riddle. Adopted him, taught him, loved him. Maybe that changed everything.
Hermione Granger wakes in 1954 with a new name and a pureblood family she wasn't born into. Tom is across the table. Not a monster, not yet a Dark Lord, and nothing about him matches what she came here knowing.
She's starting to believe the thing she feared doesn't exist in this world.
Her new brother spends the summer teaching her to survive a society that would destroy her if it knew what she was. He watches her too closely for a man who calls her a duty.
The dates are wrong. The history doesn't match. No one will tell her how she got here.
Some choices are made. Others are engineered.

Summary
What if not the darkness but the light is the most dangerous thing there is?
The Sorting Hat sorted Hermione into the Slytherin house. She is bullied until Professor Snape steps in, and as she is the most intelligent witch he has ever met, he comes up with a lie that'll change her entire life.
Hermione and Draco become friends, and he invites her to the Manor, where she meets Draco's parents, first and foremost Lucius Malfoy, who seems to have a special interest in her and is therefore putting Draco's and Hermione's friendship to the test.
What started as a friendship crumbles into enemies. Can they come back with the return of the dark lord and a second wizarding war on the horizon, or is the darkness surrounding them a place of no return?
This is a really dark story. Read the tags; I'll add more as the story continues. You were warned, DEAD DOVE.
Year 1-7 from a not always canonical Hermione Granger POV (3rd Person with 1st inner dialogue). Her parents are dead.
As always, I do not own the characters; They belong to JKR. I write for fun (and therapeutic reasons) and make no money off it.

Summary
When her mother reveals the truth, Hermione’s world shatters: she is not a Granger, but Hermione Gaunt, the last female heir to one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. Crowned the Diamond of the Year at the debutante ball, Hermione becomes the most sought-after witch in high society; an asset the Ministry is eager to exploit, drawing her to spy within those same circles. At home, tension simmers with her new stepbrother, Theodore Nott, whose arrogance ignites her defiance, but as disdain turns to desire, and desire to something far deeper, the lines between duty, deception, and love begin to blur. Meanwhile, a mysterious and brooding Cassius Black, son of Bellatrix Black, looms in her world, challenging her loyalties and stirring passions she never expected.

Summary
She played softly, fingers gliding over the ancient keys of the piano the Room had conjured — her mother’s salon, reborn in flickering candlelight. Notes drifted through the air like smoke, curling around the dark figure in the armchair behind her.
Tom Riddle sat with one leg crossed, firewhisky in one hand, a lit cigar in the other. He watched her through the haze, silent, as if trying to memorize every gesture, every sound. The flames caught in the glass and in her hair, and for a moment, he looked less like a boy destined for infamy and more like someone who had almost forgotten how alone he was.
“You don’t play for them,” he said quietly.
Hermione didn’t look up. “No.”
“But you play for me.”
A pause. Then: “Always.”
----
A war is lost when an opportunity is presented to her. Aberforth offers Hermione a chance to go back to the beginning to undo everything that has come to pass. Can Hermione Dumbledore alter the fate of one young man, can she turn the tide to a better future? Or is she fighting a losing battle, one where she looses herself in it?
