Summary
Fate, it appeared, had a twisted sense of humor when it came to Draco Malfoy. In his sixth year, he had stumbled upon his soul mate at the most unexpected moment. The only issue? His soul mate was none other than Hermione Granger. Now, he reluctantly accepted two harsh truths: his soul mate would likely never reciprocate his feelings, and he was hurtling towards a seemingly inevitable demise at the hands of the Dark Lord.
Hermione had been mere inches away from Ron's grasp when Dobby, whisked the group away to safety, leaving her stranded within the foreboding walls of Malfoy Manor. Surrounded by enraged Death Eaters, Hermione found herself in a precarious predicament, her fate intertwined with the very person she had long considered her enemy.

Summary
“I must not have heard you correctly, Headmaster,” Severus said flatly.
“You did, my boy. This isn’t only a favour to me, you understand.”
“But there must be trust," Severus insisted. "A bond… or some sort of relationship between mentor and pupil for Occlumency to be taught correctly! The only bond the brat and I share is one of mutual loathing.”
“Now, Severus, you are an adult and a Hogwarts professor. Surely, you can find a way to mend broken bridges.”
Broken bridges? Broken bridges? There had never been a "bridge" to begin with! Not with Potter, the carbon copy of his school bully, who spoke, acted, believed himself so superior to anyone else he might as well be the second coming of his father. There had always only been damp planks slogging down a river which separated them on two opposite banks. No bridge to speak of.
OR
Summer of Fifth Year. Dumbledore decides Harry should begin Occlumency immediately. Harry and Snape start seeing a lot of each other. Neither is thrilled, especially when they begrudgingly realise that maybe, possibly, perhaps, they might have more in common than they thought. -

Summary
Aphantasia: the lack of an ability to visualize; those with Aphantasia cannot create images in their head. Around 2 to 3 percent of the world population is estimated to have it, although the true number is assumed to be much higher.
It's not considered a disorder or medical issue, but it can create challenges occasionally.

Fierce Consequences revisions are complete as of 10/2/2025!
~~~
“What have you done?" Severus asked hotly. Memories of the war flooded back to him. There was no way for him to sufficiently answer all of the questions that Elora would ask. The truth would break her. She didn’t remember for a reason, and he wanted so desperately to keep it that way.
Elora Townes is an 8th year Slytherin, looking forward to her final year at Hogwarts after the brutal destruction of the war. She finds herself anticipating this to be the best year yet, with friends by her side and a fire in her heart.
But that fire soon turns to something darker as Elora navigates her complicated relationships, as well as facing some of her once-feared superiors. One small mistake pushes her to make life-altering choices as her fate slowly slips into the hands of others. With her control over herself lost, Elora falls into the hands of the Dark Lord, who is more than willing to put her gifts to great use.
How far will she go to protect the ones she loves?

Summary
Harry has his horrible vision of Nagini attacking Mr. Weasley. Instead of being sent off to Grimmauld Place immediately like in the book he's sent off to learn Occulmency immediately like in the movie.
But Severus Snape is not ready to teach him. Figuratively and literally. The Potions Master is in his own dreamworld and gets summoned out of bed at 3AM so he can instruct the whelp in the art of shielding the mind.
It's a nightmare to say the least.

Summary
" “I’m not a child,” he tells her, his voice somehow both slurred and raspy, and sounding very much like a child even to his own ears.
“Yes, you are,” Hermione replies. Her voice isn’t mean. It isn’t even her usual bossy tone. It is soft. Sad. "--
A study of Hermione and Harry's relationship, starting with Harry's coping (or lack thereof) with Umbridge's detentions in 5th year. Part 3 of the "The Sun Also" series but can be read on its own just fine, if you prefer.

Summary
"If you can’t learn Occlumency, then you can’t become an Auror.”
No. All of this couldn’t be for nothing. Harry hadn’t spent so much time proving himself, proving that he was more than just a famous name for all of this to go to shite. “This can’t be the end.”
"I have someone in mind that could teach you if you are willing, but I can't guarantee he will help, especially considering your... past."
"You don't mean Malfoy, do you?"

Summary
“I want you to be nice to the Order.”
Right for the jugular. Draco let out an aghast noise as he leaned away and regarded the Gryffindor with a clearly horrified expression. “That’s like asking a boggart not to frighten people. I can’t change my inner self.”
Harry snorted as he pulled the grumpy blonde into his arms. “I would never ask you to change who you are. I know you are going to say something to embarrass me, no doubt because it is lewd.” He sighed when Draco’s lips twitched.
“Just as I know you are going to insult at least five people in the span of two minutes. Your sarcasm is going to fly over many people’s heads and your sharp tongue will probably make more enemies than supporters.”
