Summary
Dumbledore had told Severus Snape and Hermione Granger that getting married would help them share vital information as the Potions Master continued to play the villain and consummate spy and the Brightest Witch of Her Age hunted Horcruxes with her friends. What the old bugger didn’t tell them was that if they both survived the war it would take a year-and-a-day to divorce and that they would have to live together for the duration – without killing each other. It would go down in the annals of wizarding history as either one of the wisest things the headmaster ever did . . . or one of the very worst. Only a year-and-a-day would reveal which one it was.

Summary
Hermione Granger constructed a predictable life for herself following the war. However, she realizes that within the constraints of control there is no room for want. In an uncharacteristic move, she flees her life in London to visit Neville, who works as a gardener at the Zabini Estate in Italy. The Estate, now a wellness retreat for elderly witches and wizards, is also the refuge of three of her Slytherin classmates that she has not seen since the war. This is a story of overcoming assumptions, judgmental garden gnomes, flowers, and the quest for contentment.

Summary
After the war, every adult wizard associated with Voldemort was sentenced to death. Their children were shown mercy—in the form of life sentences in Azkaban.
Hermione Granger has spent the past decade honing her skills—she has several masteries under her belt and a successful customs business inventing new and powerful magics. She has a happy and loving group of friends and all the books she could ever want, tucked up in her perfect little cottage in Kent. Surely there’s nothing she’s missing then, is there?
Draco Malfoy has spent the last ten years in Azkaban. He’s broken beyond recognition. So when he’s dragged out into the Ministry after a decade in the dark, he can only assume it’s to end his suffering.
Instead he looks up into the eyes of a grown, indomitable Hermione Granger. Will she help put the pieces of who he once was back together? Will they be able to stop the Ministry’s slow descent into fascism? Will he ever learn how to use the terrifying Micro Wave?

Summary
At the very cusp of a much-longed-for shift in their friendship, Hermione Granger vanished. Draco Malfoy, ever-devoted and painstakingly adept at dismantling mysteries, would spend the next seven years and a day seeking for his disappeared witch.
And then Hermione—ever-contrary, hauntingly remote, aggravatingly withholding, in possession of disquieting power—ends his hellbent search by storming his study and demanding that he give her access to Malfoy family lore.
Draco untangling the mystery of Hermione’s disappearance and just-as-maddening return plunges him into a quest that breaks realms, magical jurisdictions, standing warrants, sacred bargains, ancient truces, the demands of space and time—and, rather importantly, his already tenuous grasp on his restraint regarding his long-lost, brilliant, terrifying, distressingly brown-eyed witch. But, then again, Draco prides himself on being highly adaptable.
If he could not make Hermione stay put, then he would make her keep him.

This started as a loose tribute to the film Moonstruck and got increasingly out of hand.

Summary
In the summers between school, a young Hermione Granger finds companionship in a mysterious young wizard near her family’s country home in Wiltshire. They share their troubles under the comfort of their respective anonymity until one fateful encounter destroys their fragile refuge from the real world.
Years later, after a war that devastated Wizarding Europe, Hermione’s one wish is to pursue higher education for her Potions Mastery. Only, one clause leftover from deeply entrenched Muggle-born prejudice sends Hermione into the grueling social season with one goal in mind; to marry the least terrible eligible wizard.
To her misfortune, a scandalous case of mistaken identity binds her future to a man who is certain to be the worst of all. Draco Malfoy; the new Duke of Wiltshire, a war hero, and the boy who broke her heart.

House of Penumbra: Madness and Mercy by UnsortedSoul
Fandoms: Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
06 Dec 2025
Tags
Summary
After the fall of the Order, Hermione Granger is no longer a symbol of light—she’s a hunter, hollowed and vicious, set on killing Voldemort with or without her soul intact. Draco Malfoy, Voldemort’s most feared lieutenant, hides a secret rebellion: he’s planning the Dark Lord’s murder. But when he saves Hermione in a moment of weakness, they’re both pulled into the House of Penumbra—an ancient, sentient place that traps them together.
The House doesn’t speak. It watches. It remembers. And it won’t release them until something deeper than vengeance begins to bloom.
Surrounded by living murals, shifting shadows, and their own buried grief, Hermione and Draco must do the one thing they were never taught: feel. Heal. And care about someone other than the dead.
In a world where survival meant becoming monsters, maybe the only true rebellion left is learning how to love again.
Because the House was built for a single purpose: to choose who is worthy of saving the world—and to make them bleed for it.
A gothic, psychological, slow-burn Dramione.
Dark magic. Enemies to reluctant allies. Emotional devastation.
Healing as resistance. And a house that won’t let go.Bookmarked by cherrykirsch

Summary
When the Nott family’s Hystera (surrogate) commits suicide, Hermione is forced to replace her. But soon she learns her fate is far worse than what she had initially thought, for Lord Voldemort has taken interest in her, believing her womb could help bring his darkest vision to life.
Hermione Granger—stripped of almost five years of memory, haunted by a forbidden past with Draco Malfoy, and once a friend to the defeated Harry Potter—would become the vessel for a darkness so deep not even the brightest light could dispel.

Summary
Draco Malfoy dies on a Wednesday.
Hermione Granger hates Wednesdays. Can’t imagine dying on one. Hump day. Middle of the week. Neither the weekend nor a particularly interesting weekday. There’s never anything exceptional to be excited about.

Unfortunately for her, she stumbles upon something she’s not supposed to and gets stuck, forced to relive the day Draco Malfoy dies. To break free, she must join forces with her enemy and descend into a world governed by secret magical societies and discover the killer before it’s too late. Blood magic, rituals, secrets and lies — welcome to the Wizarding world’s dark underbelly. Not everyone can make it out alive.
A character study on life after war and the way it shapes us.

Summary
It’s 2008 and Draco Malfoy is a secret assassin. It's legitimate - he gets paid for it, and some higher ups in the Ministry (probably?) know he’s out there… killing people. He’s quite good, but that tracks with his dubious accounting of rights and wrongs and his penchant for self-preservation. During his downtime he does a great job of acting like a pureblood in penance... mostly by drinking and shagging his way into oblivion.
This double life helps to numb Draco to the constant feelings of shame and guilt from his formative years in which he was an utter cunt- but everything is upended when his team (assassins can have coworkers, alright?) dies in action and he does not. Suspended and forced to go to therapy, Draco is adrift.
When Hermione Granger re-enters the fray, their hateful relationship that was once fraught with swotty bickering (erm, and the occasional slur) is suddenly tense in a very different way.
How will these two come together? How often will Theo say something terribly charming? Do we hate Ron or is Ron just, meh? Oh, and what’s going on with that one murderous witch who’s out to kill them all (forgot to mention that part…)?

Summary
It is a known fact: anyone who loves a Covey witch will swiftly meet a tragic fate.
And no one understands that better than Katniss Everdeen. It's why she lost her father, her mother, her uncle. It's why she's sworn off love entirely. It's why she cast that True Love Spell. The one that hid her heart from the rest of the world, bound it to a seemingly impossible and non-existent man.
But what happens when an old face from her past suddenly reappears on Seam Isle? What happens when that face seems to have a knack for breaking through all her carefully crafted walls? What happens what the universe seems set on drawing them together? And what happens when that face starts appearing in her minds eye in entirely inappropriate moments?
A tale of curses and crones. Of magic and mischief. Of defiant, entrancing, bewitching love.
A Practical Magic!Everlark AU.
