    Summary

    Hermione’s hand was poised above the door knob. She stood outside the small shop for several minutes before she even approached the wooden door. It was almost closing time. She watched him help a customer through the picture window for some time, hidden in the street’s dark shadows at the junction of Diagon and Knockturn Alleys. Her eyes took in the bold lettering of the store sign, The Poisoned Pen, Books and Potions, Est. 2008. She smiled at the name despite her nerves.

    He’d remembered.

    Summary

    Seven years ago, Hermione Granger gave evidence to the Wizengamot that helped keep Draco Malfoy out of Azkaban. Six years ago they completed their final year at Hogwarts - and since then there has been no contact between them. Hermione would be perfectly happy to keep it that way, but when a dangerous Dark object threatens the life of one of her dearest friends she has no choice but to seek Malfoy out and beg for his help.

    What she discovers when she finds him is not at all what she expected and now she's intrigued - intrigued and determined not to let him disappear again before she's managed to uncover his secret. A secret Draco definitely does not want her finding out.

    Summary

    A thorough guide to beta reading for both authors and beta readers. Neither exhaustive nor definitive, but hopefully a good starting point that covers the basics and explains how to get the most out of an author-beta reader relationship.

    Summary

    “It’s those green boxers, you know.”

    He could feel her smile with his eyes closed.

    “What about my green boxers?” He looked up at her before letting his eyes flutter shut again.

    “I didn’t realize the effect they’d have on me, Malfoy.”

    “I’m quite glad you’re so taken with them.” He leaned up to meet her lips.
