    Summary

    When Quirrell abruptly quits his post as professor of Muggle Studies, teaching apprentice Hermione Granger volunteers to replace him. Unhappy with some of Dumbledore’s recent appointments, the board of governors volunteers Lucius Malfoy to assess Hermione’s teaching for a term in order to determine if she’s the right fit for the job. Neither of them is happy about it.

    Or: a very petty pair make the students of Hogwarts look like mature adults. No Voldemort AU.

    Summary

    It's eight years after the war and Hermione Granger has taken a break from her career at the Ministry of Magic to compile an oral history of the conflict. She's interviewed just about everyone she can get her hands on but she wants to be thorough. And that means getting in contact with a very unwilling Lucius Malfoy.

    - - - - -

    "For your information, I'm not shopping it around yet because I still don’t have access to all of the sources I need.”

    “You’ve got to be joking. You must have interviewed every living person that was even tangentially connected to the war.”

    “Not everyone,” Hermione said, turning in her seat to reach up for the mug of tea she’d left on the kitchen counter.

    “Who’s left? The trolley lady from the Hogwarts Express?”

    “Your father.”

    Malfoy opened his mouth and then closed it again with a click of his teeth, shaking his head. “You don’t want to do that, Granger.”

    Summary

    They said he was better. She should have known it was a lie. It was the Capitol even with Snow and Coin gone it was still the Capitol, of course they would send him away. Just like they did with anything that didn’t fit their perfect image, just like they did with her. Their Mockingjay burnt and broken, tossed back to 12 as far away as possible. Not fit for their delicate eyes now her duty was done.

    What if Peeta wasn't as healed as the Capitol said he was? What if his hijacked episodes keep getting worse? What if Katniss ends up finding comfort in Haymitch’s arms?

     

    Katniss/Haymitch endgame.

    Summary

    Haymitch didn’t realise there could be a feeling worse than coaching two kids to their deaths year after year. That after twenty-four years, forty-six innocent children whose blood was on his hands, that what would break him the most was the two he managed to bring home.

    He tries desperately to coach Katniss through her Victory Tour. To convince her to fall in love with Peeta and play the game expected of her. Except as the 75th annual Hunger Games draws nearer, she won't stop giving him that forbidden look. The one that will only end in trouble for them both.

    With the Quarter Quell looming he makes her a promise, a promise to bring her home. It is a promise he manages to keep, only he doesn't realise just how much they would have to lose before they got there.

    He didn’t realise just how broken she would be.

    Summary

    She'd won the games. Her family was well-fed and comfortably sheltered for the first time in her life. But the misery couldn't end, could it? The Quarter Quell had been announced, and now she was back in the towers of the Capitol, the eminent fear of death and trauma hanging over her yet again. She can only find solace in the most unlikely of places...her alcoholic mentor.
