    Summary

    Step One: Don’t touch anything cursed.
    Step Two: Ignore Theo when he says, “It’ll be fine.”
    Step Three: Try not to hex your partner, even if he’s Draco Malfoy.

    When a supposedly “inactive” tomb starts leaking ancient magic, the Department of Artefact Retrieval sends its best cursebreaker, Hermione Granger accompanied, as always, by her (questionably) helpful and chaotic partner: Theo Nott.
    Unfortunately, they also send Draco Malfoy.
    Follow the three dummies into a cursed mess involving magical plagues, crumbling tombs, undead guardians and far too many near-death experiences.

     What could possibly go wrong?
    (Everything. The answer is everything.)

     Starring:
    Theo: having the time of his life.
    Draco: annoying the golden girl is his favourite form of foreplay.
    Hermione: just trying to survive the mission… and Malfoy.

    Summary

    After returning from an 18-month assignment with the Department of Mysteries, Hermione discovers that her old life in England has changed. Her motley of friends has expanded, and even Draco Malfoy is accepted. And to her profound dismay, the Unspeakable realises that she may need to accept her old bully as well, because the Ministry has assigned Auror Malfoy to her next case—a time-travelling quest to find the lost cure for memory ailments. As the unlikely pair embark on their task, they unravel mysteries and face historical fiends they never expected. And as Hermione grows fonder of the man she never wanted to forgive, she discovers the secret that he’s kept locked away…a secret that makes their task all the more consequential. But can time heal all wounds, or will it break an already damaged heart?

    Summary

    After he killed Harry Potter, Voldemort unleashed a poisonous fog over the world, almost wiping out the entire population and driving the survivors underground. Seven years later, now established at Hogwarts, his Empire is growing stronger and deadlier every year. Death Eaters roam the deserted cities to capture surviving mudbloods and muggles, throwing them into the Empire’s wandless and violent tournament called Numberland. To ensure the players' performance is entertaining to the Purebloods loyal to the dark side, they are ruthlessly trained and kept in the castle.

    When Hermione is captured and assigned to Draco’s training, she notices that he’s now paired with a dog that never leaves his side. His posture is rigid, cold and military, masking a brokenness that matches her own. She soon realizes that her desire to win isn’t stronger than her desire to burn the Empire to the ground. And the civil war brewing outside the borders might just help do that.
