Summary
In a world without Tom Riddle or Death Eaters, the wizarding class divide and prejudice still thrive. With no troll in the dungeon to solidify their friendship, Hermione Granger never forms a bond with Harry Potter or Ron Weasley. Resented and ostracised at Hogwarts for her unapologetic intellect and self-righteous superiority, Hermione spends most of her school years isolated and alone. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy moves through the school with passiveness despite his popularity, secretly burdened by the weight of his family name and a deep discontent he cannot name. When detention entangles them together, they become drawn into the same orbit and the certainty of their separate lives begins to fray. Constantly losing and finding each other in an ambiguous path, they both navigate a gravity they cannot resist.
If you’re looking for fluffy romance, this isn’t for you. This is a nuanced exploration of two flawed characters finding their way through a complicated connection. It’s a macroscopic observation of unresolved conflicts, shifting dynamics, and the grey areas of human relationships. At times, it will hurt. And it will frustrate. But above all, it will lay bare the messy, unvarnished truth of the human experience.

Summary
Draco Malfoy stands before the Wizengamot, sentenced to the Dementor's Kiss for war crimes committed during the Second Wizarding War. He had placed his faith in Hermione Granger, believing she would provide the evidence that could exonerate him. But when the moment arrived, she was nowhere to be found. Her absence sealed his fate, leaving him stunned and betrayed as Aurors led him away to face a punishment worse than death.
Hermione had her own reasons for not appearing in court that day- reasons just as tangled in betrayal as Draco's own fate. What kept her away was not indifference, nor was it a mistake, but something far more sinister and unforgivable. Though Draco saw her absence as a silent condemnation, the truth was far more painful, than anyone could have imagined.

Summary
The Golden Trio abandoned their Sixth Year at Hogwarts to defeat Voldemort before any more lives were taken, or souls were lost. Their task is now completed and Harry, Ron, and Hermione are told they must retake their Sixth Year. This is unacceptable to Hermione, so she registers an entire summer full of curriculum. Alchemy, Astronomy, and Herbology will keep her busy, but the Granger family is also participating in the Muggle Studies summer exchange program, hosting a student raised in a magical household.
When Hermione returns from her Alchemy program abroad two weeks into summer, the last person she expects to see is sipping tea with her mother at the kitchen table…

Summary
Harry was 13, and the rebellion had to come before its time. When he failed, Voldemort had the children fight to the death. Now, it's a sick game for the Purebloods who sacrifice students each year to see who will win and keep their magic past the age of maturity. The others will perish. Only one can win, yet Hermione is going to try to save them all. Even the Slytherins.

Summary
The war is over and Voldemort has won. On the one year anniversary of his victory, the Dark Lord introduces the Games of Retribution, where eighteen young Azkaban prisoners will fight each other in a tournament to the death, with the assistance of nine of his own followers as Mentors.
Hermione Granger has spent a blurry nightmare of a year in Azkaban when she's retrieved to participate in the Games and then forced to pair up with one of her former peers for survival.
With his family’s reputation in shambles, Draco Malfoy sees the Mentorship in the Games as his only chance to regain his position in this new society. What he doesn’t account for is how Hermione Granger’s arrival might affect his chances at winning.
They may say it's a game, but someone will have blood on their hands. A Hunger Games/Voldemort wins AU.
