Summary
Violet Riddle didn't have to turn to Horcruxes for her immortality, for she had a better option – a dark and secret transformation, passed down from the ancient and terrible Empresses of Atlantis. She chose to become an Ophidian, powerful, sociopathic, immortal, and near-impossible to kill.
The prophecy said that Harry Potter would be the one to defeat the Dark Lady, and so Dumbledore prepared him in secret, teaching him all about the Ophidians, their weaknesses, and the means by which they can be defeated. But Ophidians are not only made – they can be born, too. And so when Harry starts to notice a change at age seventeen, she knows exactly what to do next.

Summary
Sorted into Slytherin with the whisper of prophecy around her, Hermione refuses to bow down to the blood prejudices that poison the wizarding world. Carving her own path forward, Hermione chooses to make her own destiny, not as a Muggleborn, a halfblood, or as a pureblood... but as a New Blood, and everything the mysterious term means.
---
New Blood is a canon AU rewrite with Hermione sorted into Slytherin. Featuring: covens, ritual magic, world building, goblin culture, excessive amounts of science and logic and math attempting to be applied to magical concepts to make them make sense, teenage girls growing up and all that entails, a badass Hermione Granger, and far too many words and plotlines
