Summary
After the war, Hermione Granger disappeared from the public eye, raising her son in quiet peace. No one knows the truth of who the father is. A love she wasn’t supposed to have, one who vanished without a trace to protect them.
Years later, across an ocean and buried in MACUSA’s Shadow Division, he hunts the dark legacy that destroyed his family, unaware that magic still binds them. Dreams bleed into memories, longing into truth, and as an ancient threat reawakens, fate begins to draw their lives together once more.

Summary
Deep in the frost-bitten forests beyond the village borders, twenty-three-year-old Lena ventures out with only her grandfather’s axe and her grandmother’s charm-woven red cloak to gather firewood before winter settles in. But the woods are no longer empty. What begins as a creeping sense of being followed spirals into a terrifying encounter with a mysterious stranger who may be the very beast whispered about in old village tales. As fear, instinct, and dangerous attraction twist together beneath the dark canopy, Lena finds herself trapped in a deadly game where folklore becomes flesh.

Summary
She played softly, fingers gliding over the ancient keys of the piano the Room had conjured — her mother’s salon, reborn in flickering candlelight. Notes drifted through the air like smoke, curling around the dark figure in the armchair behind her.
Tom Riddle sat with one leg crossed, firewhisky in one hand, a lit cigar in the other. He watched her through the haze, silent, as if trying to memorize every gesture, every sound. The flames caught in the glass and in her hair, and for a moment, he looked less like a boy destined for infamy and more like someone who had almost forgotten how alone he was.
“You don’t play for them,” he said quietly.
Hermione didn’t look up. “No.”
“But you play for me.”
A pause. Then: “Always.”
----
A war is lost when an opportunity is presented to her. Aberforth offers Hermione a chance to go back to the beginning to undo everything that has come to pass. Can Hermione Dumbledore alter the fate of one young man, can she turn the tide to a better future? Or is she fighting a losing battle, one where she looses herself in it?
