Summary
Severa Snape had always been unwanted, so it was no surprise when her best friend abandoned her the moment they arrive at Hogwarts. Nor was it a shock that she became the Marauders' favorite target. School was just another battlefield she must survive, and magic was the perfect weapon. Who could blame her for diving into the Dark Arts when it had been her only safe space? It was a cruel world out there, and if she wished to endure it, she must learn to be even more cruel. But when a misunderstood werewolf who knows what it is to be judged offers her the first taste of true understanding, and the silver-eyed prankster she swore to despise awakens a magic she can’t ignore, Severa is forced to question everything. Perhaps the people she once hated are the only ones who truly see her.
Please note: This is an alternate universe where:
1. Severus was born female (Severa)
2. Hogwarts doesn't start until students are fourteen years old
3. Ages of characters, timelines, and magical parameters have been altered to fit the needs of the story -

- The Pensieve memory of Lily Evans and Severus Snape, September 29th, 1981.Harry Potter was born a freak. He always knew that. The addled orphan of drug addicted parents, dropped off at his respectable relative's house only for them to go on and die in a car crash. It was alright. One day he was going to be a zookeeper, probably. Or just something that worked with snakes.

Summary
"That was the other thing that changed that summer.
Without cause or reason, Draco sometimes found himself thinking vaguely about Potter. Of course, he’d thought about Potter before, in the sense of how much he hated him or how to hurt him or get under his skin. But now he just…thought about him. Just small things. His eyelashes, the way he’d looked in his dress robes. Naturally, Draco spoke of this to absolutely no one."Draco Malfoy doesn't have feelings. But when he does, he purges them and burns all the evidence. Unbeknownst to him, though, his anonymous letters have been finding their way to Harry Potter, who feels a strange, undeniable connection with the mysterious writer.

Instead, one waltz turns into a declaration, one corridor into a battlefield, and one kiss into the kind of sin families remember for generations.

Summary
Expelled from Hogwarts for using dark magic as a last resort, Hermione goes to the only place that will take someone tainted by the shadow; Durmstrang, where knowledge is a blade, obedience is a ritual, and survival is a quiet, daily act of defiance. Enthralled by the intimate violence of the Dark Arts more than she cares to admit to herself, Hermione must learn the architecture of power all over again.
Then Draco Malfoy arrives, carrying a darkness that surpasses even Durmstrang's propensity for cruelty. Draco is hiding something. Something that festers in the space between the boy he was and the cruel stranger he has become. She tells herself she needs the truth to stay safe. But the truth feels perilously close to obsession.
Hermione must choose who she intends to become in a place where the line between student and monster blurs with every lesson. Durmstrang can break her, or it can remake her, but it will not leave her untouched.
Updates once a week! (Or MORE if I'm feeling feral!)
