Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

Summary
“Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”
The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.
Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.
Allies and enemies both come from unexpected places -- the international quidditch star, the power aristocrat, the motley crew of muggleborn students, her two best friends -- as Hermione begins the slow, methodical work of dismantling a world that wants nothing more than to erase her.
Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.
[This story begins in third year and updates Sundays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays]

Summary
Of course Hermione Granger would encounter Draco Malfoy at a Slytherin common room party. What she hadn’t expected was to have something in common with him, leading them to make a drunken marriage pact. It meant nothing, right? They both thought so.
Their worlds collide when the ancient magic of an Unbreakable Vow is activated ten years later, compelling them to honor their unintended marriage pact or face death. As they struggle against the binding magic, they uncover hidden layers of each other’s lives and begin to question their long-held beliefs. In the process, they discover that the line between love and hate is thinner than they ever imagined.
