Summary
After a dark curse, the wizarding world is left barren. Facing extinction, the Purebloods subjugate the muggles, searching for the rare muggleborns—the only witches able to reproduce.
Raised in the Nott household as a pampered pet, Hermione is forced to enter the Trials as she comes of age—a competition created for pureblood wizards to claim a breeder. Determined to win her, Draco Malfoy only knew two things: she belonged to him, and he’d destroy anyone who tried to take her.
But the cries of the enslaved muggles pierce through Hermione's comfortable life, causing her to reexamine everything she thought she knew about her world and the people in it. She soon discovers that the ancient call of magic and vengeance cannot be denied.
Plot inspired by the Prince of Egypt, with themes from the Handmaid's Tale.

Summary
The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione's throat. It shattered against her neck, bits of glass and gold piercing into her skin. The last thing she saw before blackness consumed her was a plume of metallic dust and vitreous fragments, tiny prisms dancing behind her eyelids.
(In which Hermione accidentally ends up in 1950, pitted against an ascending Dark Lord in his prime, caught in the entanglement of pureblood politics, dark magic, and Tom Riddle's interest)

Summary
Ivy hadn't spoken to her sister in nearly two years. Addictions and pride tore apart the very fabric of a shattered family, pulled its stitching to illuminate a messy group of broken people. There was no fixing it and when Lily Evans died, there was only a note and the expectation of raising a child she does not want.
Harry Potter wasn't her concern, just a lucky sperm. Her only priority was finding out who betrayed her sister and why. Ivy Evans did not want to mourn. She did not want so much as a requiem for an abandoned child.
She will deliver no apologies, only vengeance and blood.

Summary
A mysteriously faulty time-turner lands Hermione in the year 1977—right as the Marauders are starting their 7th year. With the knowledge of the fate of the world and everyone around her, Hermione feels like quite a bit of responsibility has been thrust upon her.
But of course, despite having the fate of the universe in her palms, Sirius Black still somehow manages to make himself Hermione’s number one concern and priority—especially as Hermione accidentally lets on she knows entirely too much about Sirius and his friends.

Summary
Facing down certain death apparently really got magic going. Holly can attest. After all, the blast of accidental magic that exploded out of her when Bellatrix killed Aunt Petunia not only landed her twenty-six years in the past. It even managed to propel her right out of her teenage body and back into her scrawny eleven-year-old form. If only she didn’t have to rehash living in the war, this time the First Wizarding War in the time of her parents, all over again!

Summary
“Save my son,” Narcissa’s voice was steady, her eyes determined. “Save my family.”
Hermione Nott always dreamed. She dreamed of a different life, a life without magic.
She dreamed she was a muggle.
Or so she thought.
When she was 11, she dreamed she was actually a muggleborn going to Hogwarts, instead of the Beauxbatons school her family sent her to.
When she was 13, she dreamed of being petrified.
But these were just dreams, right?
Except, when she was 17, her parents transferred her to Hogwarts mid-term and engaged her to the Black heir.
After that, she began to think that maybe…just maybe… these weren’t dreams at all.
