Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

Summary
FUNERALS—Hermione hated them.
A gripping cold surrounded her. For the middle of June that was extremely odd. Yet, it was so. The harsh wind whipped her hair every which way and she had not one care to fix it. It felt colder than any winter Hermione had ever experienced. It seeped past her clothes, into her skin and settled into her bones causing them to ache. Truthfully, Hermione had never minded the cold but she hated this. This felt different. This felt like death. This was death.

Summary
“Are they your friends, Malfoy, or just people that have grown on you like barnacles since you were a baby? Have you ever made a friend in your life, or are they simply something that’s been handed to you, like your big, fat inheritance or your father’s titles?”
Her voice had risen without her even realising it. As soon as the words left her mouth Hermione felt the temperature in the room drop. She bit her lip, suddenly wishing that she hadn’t said anything.
Hermione Granger has always been invisible at the prestigious Godric’s Hollow Grammar, a school for only the richest of England’s elite. That is until Theodore Nott, the amiable son of an ex-British Prime Minister and Draco Malfoy’s best friend, asks her to the school’s annual ball.
And Malfoy is not happy.
A Muggle boarding school AU inspired by Maxton Hall.

Summary
When their eyes meet, there is a brief moment of oppressive silence, as if they are under pressure. Hermione isn't sure if he's looking directly into her eyes since her vision tragically fails her at the most critical moment. She lowers her gaze to his shoulder, to the ripped fabric of his shirt, splattered with blood and something else...
Something inside Hermione starts to crumble, whether it's a corset made of ribs or a dried-up heart drained of blood, she's not sure.
She pays little attention to the blood on his shoulder, casting a foggy glance at the elongated head of the tattooed dragon.

Summary
Dragged into the woods and left for dead, Hermione Granger runs for her life through a forest that will not end.
Salvation comes in the most unlikely form. A cabin deep in the forest, and the man who answers her desperate knock.
Trapped together while shadows close in outside, fear gives way to a darker hunger neither of them can ignore.
But the forest is alive with secrets, and under a full moon nothing stays hidden for long.Bookmarked by hgrnger
