    Summary

    Draco Malfoy's life is in ruins. After the war, there's nothing left for him anymore. The Malfoy name is irrevocably stained, the vaults emptied for reparations, his father kissed by a Dementor, his ancestral manor burned to the ground to cleanse Voldemort's stain.

    After two years in Azkaban he is released, a shell of his former self, into the care of his mother - both on permanent house arrest, both without their wands forever, both withering away in mind and soul by the day.

    A chance correspondence with an Unspeakable that turns out to be none other than the Golden Girl herself gives him an unexpected reprieve from his misery, but when he starts wishing for things he can't have, Granger's ideas for fixing it are drastic.

    Drastic enough that Draco Malfoy wakes up 11 years old again.

    Summary

    After years of trying to promote support for the wellbeing of muggleborns and magical creatures, Hermione became disillusioned with the magical society and ministry in England. She has also grown weary of her relationship with Ron and most of her friendships. This was not what she won a war for. So, she finally accepts her parents' many requests to move to Australia and start fresh. The last thing she expects to find in Sydney, Australia, is Draco Malfoy working at a pastry shop, piping pink petals onto cupcakes.

    or

    It's been five years since Draco found himself in a hospital in Sydney, lacking any memory from his life before, and with a two month old baby in his arms who looks just like him. Now he has a job he loves, Scorpius has just started school, and there's a strange and cruel woman who keeps popping into his shop and won't stop staring at him. He won't lie, she's quite pretty, and her quips usually only make him laugh.

    Summary

    Due to an unfortunate accident in 7th year at boarding school, Hermione Granger struggles with her memories often and anything outside of her academics prove difficult to recall. It's why her hands are covered with inky reminders and her planner always looks overstuffed. It's why her fingernails are bitten to the quick and why Crookshanks has an automatic feeder and litterbox.

    It's also why when her former friend and academic rival, Draco Malfoy returns to London. It feels as though she is forgetting something important about him.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger is gone. Unrecognizable behind a new face and name, she flees to a sanctuary by the sea, leaving her magic — and her old life — behind.

    As she begins to adjust to her new reality, a chance encounter brings an unexpected reminder of her past. She knows him. He doesn’t recognize her. Yet over time, he begins to fall for the broken, mysterious woman who arrived on the island — known to him only as Emilia.

    Courage doesn’t look the same as it did when she was seventeen. Now, it’s in the small choices: a smile she allows herself, laughter that finds its way back, and maybe even the fragile possibility of love. But some shadows are impossible to outrun.

    Summary

    The war is over, but ruin still lingers in the castle walls, and in the lives trying to rebuild inside them.

    Hermione Granger hadn't expected to find common ground with Draco Malfoy during Hogwarts' restoration project. She definitely didn't expect the letters, the postcards, or the slow fifteen-year ache of something that never had the chance to begin.

    They made a pact: if they were still single at thirty-five, they'd go on one proper date.
    No history. No expectation. Just to see.
    Now it's his birthday.
    He's at her door.
    And neither of them is ready for what that means.
