    Summary

    As post-war violence and tensions rise, it seems as if there’s no hope to unify the wizarding world. Except, maybe, a manufactured relationship between resident Saviour Harry Potter and known purveyor of the Dark Arts Draco Malfoy. (The fact that they detest each other is beside the point.)

    But as Draco’s unrelenting mind games begin to wear him down, Harry has to remind himself that it’s all fake. The relationship is fake. The affection is fake. The pet names, the romance — even the engagement photos are fake.

    But there’s something in Draco’s kiss that might just be real.

    Summary

    Harry, Hermione and George are struggling, their lives not what they envisioned post winning the war.

    The ministry hasn’t changed, it’s still as corrupt as ever, George never recovered from Fred’s death and both Harry and Hermione are facing divorce in each of their marriages.

    Hermione has a plan, it’s risky and could kill them: go back and do it all again, only better and saving certain lives along the way.

    Summary

    This war had changed her.

    And it hadn’t made itself known until she’d seen Harry and Ron on the ground - their eyes glassy and their skin grey - not until her best friends were dead before her own eyes, only then did she realise that she would do anything, go to any length, to end this fucking war. She would be ruthless. She would pry weapons and advantages from cold, dead hands if the occasion called for it. She’d feel the guilt later, when she had time and safety on her side to let it consume her. For now, she’d only do what was necessary to survive. And fucking win.

    Hermione Granger is desperate to fix the mess created at the Battle of Hogwarts. Theodore Nott may have the solution.

    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

    Summary

    Albus Dumbledore's magic faded from the world ten days after his funeral. Wards, bindings, traps, controls, glamours - the scope of the wizard's interference in the Wizarding World was greater than anyone realized. Obliviated memories returned. Powerful magic was released from its chains. Geasa were broken. Thankfully, some wizards were ready. Ready to step in. To step up. To offer help and hope to the teenager who had been weighed down with too many expectations and too little information.

    His core and mind released from Dumbledore's bindings, Harry Potter would not flee, he wouldn't take off on a hopeless task handed out by a dead wizard. Severus Snape was released from Dumbledore's complete control. And Remus Lupin opened his eyes, embraced his power and oaths, and turned eagerly to protect and train his cub.

    Complete re-write of Book 7. AU.
