    Summary

    Magic is easy to see, to feel, to hear, to touch. The magic on the plate and the palate, however, is one that Magicals and Muggles alike can appreciate. Harry Potter will go on a journey to find the taste that he is looking for, and the magic that exists in meals made and meals shared.

    An AU slice-of-life story with an eventual pairing.

    Bookmarker's Notes

    Longfic canon rewrite with Harry as a budding chef. Hedwig is goblin-mode throughout, and the actual Goblins are quite nice.

    Summary

    In an Alternate Universe where muggleborns are a tiny minority and stuck as third-class citizens, formally aligning herself with her best friend, the famous Boy-Who-Lived, seemed a good idea. It did a lot to help Hermione's status in the exotic society of a fantastic world so very different from her own. And it allowed both of them to fight for a better life and better Britain.

    Fantastic worldbuilding! A fully-realised AU, with personal backstories, realistic geopolitics, and reasonable motivations for characters' actions.

    ((V-E-R-Y S-L-O-W build/burn. Tons of world-building. Lots of Slice of Life filler chapters. LOTS of OCs)).

    Summary

    When Hermione Granger arrives at Yale Law School, her quiet precision draws attention she doesn’t seek. She’s composed, unreadable, and carrying more than her transcripts suggest. Someone is watching—methodical, patient, obsessed. As the term begins to shift, Harry Potter is pulled into a breach he didn’t see coming. This time, the threat isn’t magical. It’s institutional, psychological, and already inside the building.

    NB: This is a work of fiction. All characters and events are invented for narrative purposes. Yale University is referenced intentionally but used in a fictionalised context; the portrayal of institutions, settings, and individuals is imaginative and not intended to represent real entities or persons.

    TW: Some chapters include emotionally intense material, including psychological manipulation, surveillance, and trauma. Content notes appear at the start of each chapter to help readers navigate safely. Please take care as you read. –x

    Disclaimer: This work is entirely original. It has not been copied, adapted, generated, or lifted from fan fiction sites or derivative sources. It is an independent creation intended for literary and artistic purposes.
