   Summary

   At 12:01 AM, Hermione Granger wakes up in a version of Hogwarts where Draco Malfoy rules, time obeys no laws, and no one remembers the war—because he won it.

   This castle breathes his magic.
   The loops never stop.
   And every twelve cycles, she dies.

   She remembers. At least she thinks she does right?
   Sometimes, he does too. Doesn't he?

   But the cradle won’t close.

   (Dark Draco. Time magic. Psychological horror. Erotic obsession. Blood as memory.)
