Summary
Sixth year isn't going the way Draco imagined it would. His mission was complex, and he felt the weight of an executioner's ax hovering. But destiny had other plans for him when a mislabeled bottle of Amortentia changed everything. His story is one about personal redemption, his heart, and reclaiming his family's honor.
Hermione had to do rounds alone, again. Being a prefect was hard but rewarding work. Usually. But a chance encounter with Draco Malfoy and an unidentified potion that she just knew should be confiscated, made her look at him in a new unexpected light. Though an antidote was quickly given, the accident drew her into the complex world of Draco Malfoy, even though the war threatened to separate them.
One small encounter that changed the course of the entire war and the lives of two enemies.
Mostly canon through book 6, some canonical moments from book 7

Summary
Remus is a PhD student and hobbyist baker who finds himself adrift following his father’s death. On a whim, he enters the Great British Bake Off and is swept up in a flurry of curdled custard, shrunken souffle, and under-proved dough. Remus expects to be challenged and to embarrass himself on public television. What he doesn’t account for are the friendships he develops with the other contestants and the deep connection he forms with his teenage crush, Sirius Black: charming ex-boy band member and Bake Off presenter.
or,
Sirius groans, dropping his head back into his hands. “It’s the dough,” he mumbles into the skin of his palms. “It’s the kneading. It’s his hands. They’re obscene.”
Lily laughs. “They are a bit, aren’t they?”

Summary
Caput Mortuum: A useless substance left over from a chemical operation and the epitome of decline and decay, literally ‘dead head’ or ‘worthless remains’. A dark purple pigment.
Lucius Malfoy is the Minister for Magic, after The Order was unable to remain in power post-War. Draco Malfoy is the powerless figurehead of his father’s new regime. Banned from doing nearly everything (except the occasional topless photo shoot to cover up the more unsavoury aspects of Lucius’ plans), he has lost all hope for a better world. But Hermione Granger has just been captured and brought back to The Manor. And instead of being afraid, she looks like this is exactly where she wants to be. After years of apathy, Draco realises that he wants to know why.

Summary
“Do you think of yourself as a sacrificial lamb, Granger? I would have expected more from you.” He grabbed her wrists tightly and spun her so she’d be trapped up against the door. “Unlike myself, Theo doesn’t have the softest of touches when it comes to legilimency. The weaselette’s squeaks will stop soon enough, we have all we need.”
All they need? What had her memories revealed? Her face must have contorted in confusion, because Malfoy leaned in closely, until his hot breath was felt against her neck.
“We have you. Potter and his idiotic sidekick will come up with some brave yet foolish rescue mission that will ultimately lead to the Order’s demise. No, Granger. You are no sacrificial lamb, you’re Helen. The spark of war.”
His words sent chills through her.
“And you know what they say of Helen’s abduction…”
