    Summary

    Draco Malfoy dies on a Wednesday.

    Hermione Granger hates Wednesdays. Can’t imagine dying on one. Hump day. Middle of the week. Neither the weekend nor a particularly interesting weekday. There’s never anything exceptional to be excited about.

    After the war, all Hermione Granger wants is to forget everything that happened and sink into her studies. Unfortunately for her, she stumbles upon something she’s not supposed to and gets stuck, forced to relive the day Draco Malfoy dies. To break free, she must join forces with her enemy and descend into a world governed by secret magical societies and discover the killer before it’s too late. Blood magic, rituals, secrets and lies — welcome to the Wizarding world’s dark underbelly. Not everyone can make it out alive.

    A character study on life after war and the way it shapes us.

    Summary

    When a newly-spawned kitchen Dementor imprints on Draco Malfoy on both of their first days at Azkaban, it sets off a curious pattern of events never before seen in the dreaded wizard prison. Hermione Granger’s efforts to get to the bottom of the mysterious changes reveal there’s more to magic, and Malfoy, than she thought. With more trouble cooking up than meets the eye, can Hermione get Draco — and herself — out of harm’s way?

    The Ratatouille-meets-Halloweentown Dramione you never asked for, and maybe never knew you needed.

    COMPLETE!

    Summary

    “There once was a boy who made all the wrong choices.”

    Voldemort is dead… at least that’s what everyone thinks. A tale that spans over a decade, this is a story of innocence lost—for what happens when the hero becomes the villain? In the new Magical Empire, Harry Potter reigns supreme. The Statute of Wizarding Secrecy has been dissolved and Light and Dark must join forces to fight to freedom. But first… there’s something Ginny needs to remember.

    A character study in power and the choices we make. (Slow backstory build up)

    Draco’s lip curled and he went to release her. Without warning her fingers bunched into a fist, snatching his shirt making it impossible for him to move. He froze, unsure what to do as she stepped forward invading his personal space.

    “I heard you,” Hermione whispered. “I heard you calling to me through the… whatever it was.” She inhaled, biting her lip. “I should have died. But you brought me back. That shouldn’t have been possible. Right?”

    Summary

    Draco Malfoy is not, necessarily, a good guy. Maybe he could have been, once, but he chose differently. Some (everyone) might say he chose wrong.

    After years in Azkaban and an extended house arrest sentence, he is released unto a world that somehow has only gotten worse while he was away… and rather than fix it, he falls right into step.

    Or does he?
