Summary
She stirred, her golden-brown eyes finally focusing on him with a fragile clarity that sent a jolt through his chest. She looked at him like he was a stranger.
“Who are you?” she asked, voice hesitant.
The words struck him like a hex.
She doesn’t remember me.
Relief at her waking vanished beneath the weight of that realisation, leaving something hollow in its place — something far more dangerous than grief.
When a late-night Patronus interrupts the chaos of the Auror Office, Draco Malfoy doesn’t hesitate. Hermione Granger’s been attacked—and while she survives, the aftermath is far from clean. Her memories are gone. Not the magic, not the brilliance—but every shared glance, every scar, every sharp-edged truth between them.
Draco is assigned to keep her safe. It's meant to be temporary. Professional. Detached.
But memory is a fickle thing, and the threat hunting her is more deeply embedded than anyone at the Ministry dares admit. As secrets rise and loyalties fray, Draco must protect the one person who once knew him too well—and now doesn’t know him at all.
Not yet.

Summary
Lucius Malfoy had been dead for almost a year when his portrait witnessed his son being dragged to Azkaban, covered in the blood of Astoria Greengrass-Malfoy. Lucius had been dead for over nine years by the time Theo Nott and Harry Potter dragged him back in, broken and occluded into oblivion. But this time, Hermione Granger was with them, in his Manor, yelling about something called therapy and using a muggle writing utensil to help uncover the dark, hidden secrets of the Malfoy family.

Summary
Six years have passed since the Battle of Hogwarts. Six years of broken hearts, lost loves, and new beginnings.
Hermione Granger stepped out of the magical world in 1998 and has refused to return, only keeping in contact with the Potters and Weasleys, and for good reason. Her son is her life, and she'd do anything to protect him, especially from the world and people that had wanted to eradicate her from it.
Things begin to change when alarming attacks on Muggles begin emerging around London, and no one knows the cause or the perpetrator. Secrets long buried threaten to upend Hermione's peaceful existence as a single mother. And problems she'd distanced herself from suddenly require her attention again.
She's not prepared herself for her son's exposure to the magical world, but she may not have a choice as a resurgence of dark magic is brought to her doorstep. And the person most equipped to protect her is someone she'd been avoiding with her departure from the wizarding world.
Draco sodding Malfoy.

Summary
During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger vanishes. She finds herself unable to cope with it all—the missions, the dangers, the trauma. For five years, no one has seen or heard from her. Now, on the anniversary of Voldemort’s defeat, Hermione secretly returns to Hogwarts to attend the unveiling of the memorial honoring the fallen, only to discover something shocking—her own name engraved among the dead.
While visiting the castle, she encounters Severus Snape, a fellow ghost trapped between worlds. As they unravel the mystery of her apparent death, Hermione must confront the truth of what really happened that fateful night.
Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy, now working for the Ministry as an Auror specializing in magical souls, has been searching for Hermione ever since. Consumed by regret for never confessing his feelings to her, Draco is drawn back to Hogwarts by strange disturbances. His search converges with Hermione’s quest for answers, and with Snape’s guidance, Draco may finally get the chance to bring her back—but at a price neither of them could have foreseen.

Summary
The first three chapters will be presented as Daily Prophet articles, dripping with scandal and whispers — and let it be known, Rita Skeeter is hardly a journalist one can trust.
After the Battle of Hogwarts, Draco Malfoy was presumed dead—disintegrated by a strange spell witnessed by only a few. But eight years later, he is discovered alive in the dungeons of Azkaban, wearing a tattered prison uniform marked only with a number.
Now, he faces trial for all his alleged crimes, with no one to speak in his defence.
With his parents exiled and banned from returning to the wizarding world, his solicitor—assigned to the case for just a week—finds his hands tied when it comes to building a proper defence. But in a sudden turn of events, a last-minute witness steps forward, and long-buried secrets begin to surface.
Will justice prevail? Is Draco truly innocent?
And why does Hermione Granger keep dreaming about him—and a little girl with silver hair—every single night?

Summary
The first blood adoption took place in 1946. For years, High Lord Grindelwald has been perfecting his society where magic truly is might, and every witch and wizard under his purview is adopted under the banner of one of the Sacred Twenty-Eight. No halfbloods. No muggleborns. Only purebloods.
In all that time, no child has ever matched with House Ollivander. Then, a young brown-haired witch summons fiendfyre during the adoption ritual, giving Garrick Ollivander a new Heir and a chance of saving his Ancient and Noble house. Time is of the essence, as Hermione must survive her zenith: the by-product of the ritual which had been the death knell for all four of Ollivander's children.
Hogwarts has developed into a premier school specializing in Masteries, Apprenticeships, and Erudition with students enrolling after their OWLS, but no Ollivander has ever walked the hallowed halls. In a gambit to save his daughter, he enrolls her in Hogwarts to study under the masters with the desperate hope that she will be able to withstand the massive influx of elemental power that is her blood-right. Pureblood politics, accidental bonds, House rivalries, hidden motivations, and unknown histories further complicate the issue.

Summary
Some say there’s not much to life at all. You’re born, you live, and you die. But what about everything in-between? Life isn’t that simple, not in their eyes at least.
Hermione felt life had dealt her the worst of blows. Having been through a war as a Hogwarts student, becoming a healer at St. Mungo’s hospital after, then losing the man she loved. She had become a shell of who she used to be. The bright, forgiving and clever 'golden girl' had gone, replaced by a cold and empty woman pondering if it was worth living at all. All she felt was hate and heartbreak, going about life unchecked and uncaring as she hunted death eaters and traitors alike.
Draco is trying to turn his life around, but the wizarding community just couldn't understand he had changed. No longer a 'death eater', he now worked as an auror after losing his wife. Harry Potter has accepted him and for both their family's sakes they display a level of civility, but there are always those dragging Draco back into his past and he hated it. Would an unsolved case they were working on turn out to be the end for Draco? Or would it change the course of everything the future held for him...

Summary
'After fifty days, he'd finally succumbed to the isolation-induced psychosis that had been nibbling at the corners of his psyche for weeks. Trust Snape to be the first one to physically manifest.'
During the First War, Lucius Malfoy pledged his loyalty to the Dark Lord. While others swore to kill for the cause, Lucius offered something more—his family’s mastery of the Mind Arts.
As the Dark Lord returns to power once more, Draco Malfoy finds himself confined to the family's Cannes chateau for fifty long days. With little more than schoolwork and Professor Snape’s Occlumency exercises to distract him, Draco wades deeper and deeper into the unknown. Without proper guidance, he risks corrupting the very foundation of his mind with self-fulfilling prophecies of darkness and deceit.
