Summary
She remembers waking up, getting breakfast, and waiting for the day to start. She does not remember falling asleep, but she does remember waking up again. Only this time, it's cold, her body is wrong (yet somehow right), and she's suspended in what feels like egg whites. Oh, and her egg-mate? Yeah, that's Ghost. The Knight. Protagonist of hit indie video game Hollow Knight. And she... appears to be in the title role. Yippee.
Alright, comprehensive plan is this:
1. don't die
2. don't let Ghost die
3. fix everythingThis'll be fun. (And by fun, well, let's just say... mental breakdown.)
Heavily inspired by FreakOfYourNature's A Not-So-Hollow Knight (self insert dies painfully and for some reason reincarnates as the Hollow Knight, then proceeds to obliterate any sense of coherence Hallownest had left), but with two key differences: One, said self insert is infinitely less aggressive, and Two, the Pale King is actually a decent person. And maybe... maybe he could even become a decent father.

Summary
The baying of hounds.
Closer this time. Much too close.
Panic thrummed in her ears. She wasn’t sure what she feared more; the vicious teeth, the hunters, or the mob behind.
She ripped herself free, charged again headlong into the dark.
You only have to reach the line, they won't cross the line.

Summary
Hermione Granger has always been good at her job, so good that now in her second term as Minister of Magic she finds herself a bit bored as she's set up all her political machinations so well they only need the barest of attention. That's most probably why she actually lets Ginny convince her to finally write a letter using the most sensational invention of the last decade: soulmate paper. It should be simple, she just writes a letter and a Ministry owl will carry her letter to whoever is magically determined to be her soulmate. So simple she trusts Ginny, agent of chaos that she is, to send it off for her, which is, perhaps, how she ends up with three replies to her letter instead of just one.
