    Summary

    Through means of fate and some none too subtle manipulation, Hermione finds herself thrown back in time. With Harry’s parents still alive, Severus Snape loyal to Voldemort’s chaos, and answers flooding in about the peculiar behavior of those she trusted most prior to her trip through time, she finds herself in the midst of the First Wizarding War. This time however, her orderly world of right and wrong is viewed in shades of grey as she finds herself unable to resist the dark, magnetic pull of Severus despite the best efforts of time, age, warring alliances, and reason that threaten to rip them apart, setting the future she must return to on a course headed for disaster.

    Summary

    Hermione overhears something she shouldn't concerning Professor Snape and decides that maybe the House-elves aren't the only ones in need of protection.

    Author's Notes:
    It will take me a while to post all 50+ chapters but this will be a cleaned up and edited version that interested readers will be able to drop into a PDF or e-reader format.
    A lot of very fine artist types created wonderful art to go along with the story. You can find them here: http://petprojectcaeria.deviantart.com/

    Summary

    The outside world didn’t want them, so why should they want it?

    But Draco had his manor. It wasn’t much, but it was something.

    He never expected his old Hogwarts classmates to show up—let alone settle in like they owned the place. Yet, despite the chaos—Pansy setting fire to curtains, Harry and Ron popping in uninvited—Draco found himself oddly okay with it. The manor may have been falling apart, but in the madness, he started to realize maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.

    Even the most broken family has its moments. And Draco? Well, he was getting awfully comfortable in his mess.

    Summary

    Five years after the Battle of Hogwarts, the wizarding world is what you might call “a godsdamned mess.” The population is dwindling, the economy is suffering, and Hermione Granger has decided to pursue an arranged marriage—but only so she can be nominated to the antiquated Wizengamot, of course. After all, the Wizengamot is ignoring the world’s problems, and Hermione is determined to fix them. Granted, she never expected to be matched with Draco sodding Malfoy—the newest DMLE consultant who wears his Azkaban tattoos as proudly as his childhood sneer. But admittedly, between the turbulence of her farcical relationship, corrupt politicians, and a serial killer on the loose, nothing in Hermione’s life is going according to plan. Maybe hate sex with her husband will help?

    Summary

    “So,” Rolanda Hooch said, “Severus. I was just thinking-you really ought to meet my cousin Greta.”
    Severus froze.
    “She’s clever,” Hooch offered. “Wicked sense of humor. You two would get on famously.”
    A terrible silence.
    Severus cleared his throat with subtle panic. “Ah-no. Thank you. Actually….I-I’m quite-my time is quite fully accounted for, these days-in that regard.”
    Hooch tilted her head. “Come now. You’re not seeing anyone, are you?”
    “I-” He glanced, involuntarily, at Hermione. “I-am. Involved. Romantically. With someone.”
    There was a beat.
    “Someone who exists,” he added.
    Minerva blinked at him over her spectacles. “Someone who exists?” she repeated neutrally.
    “A very real,” he added quickly, “extremely tangible, real, live person.”
    Flitwick let out a suppressed wheeze.
    “And what’s their name?” Minerva asked sweetly.
    Severus hesitated for a full beat too long. His mouth opened, but no sound came out.
    Hermione bit into her orange slice with quiet, ravenous delight.
    There was a long pause.
    “Nelladina…did,” he blurted, then winced. “Curdle...Thwarple-Hatch.”
    The room fell entirely, catastrophically silent.
