Charms Professor Hermione Granger has to prepare for a meeting with the Board of Governors. What awaits her, she has no idea. **Same scenario, each three-five chapters with a different pairing.

A filmsy promise turns into much more.

Hermione gave quits to being a Healer when she traveled back in time in one of her shifts. 70s weren't that bad, especially when you dined with every known Death Eater now and again. Orion Black had never lost his composure at those dinners, but when he was the host perhaps he should have been more cautious. Miss Granger was around to distract him, indeed.

An indulgence... between Lucius Malfoy and Hermione Granger.

Daphne learns that she is a far cry from perfect. No one is. Not even Harry Potter. A glance at his out-of-control hair and stupid bravery is enough of proof, anyway.

Attending this event was one of the many responsibilities he had as a Sacred Twenty-Eight. Theodore Nott had to keep appearances, but would it be just as easy with the presence of one Hermione Granger?

Everything was changing but for Daphne Greengrass nothing seemed to change for the better. Since losing her mother in second year, she has never been so lost till now. It was a constant struggle. Even the simple feeling of a crush on a boy became impossible and heart-breaking. Only time will show what will become of her.

Lucius Malfoy saw her by chance. He rarely came to their summer house, actually. The day he arrived, he had an argument with his son and opted to retire early to his room. He saw her by chance just then, looking delectable and so alluring. Their chance meetings afterwards drove his desire. She could be good for him. So he pursued, and finally, she was his.

A chance encounter and a much needed break from life. For both of them, it was simply another mistake.

She came unexpectedly. She came because he asked for it. He never thought there would be any need, but he was wrong. Playing this game with her by his side would be a risk he had no option but to take.

Harry copes with stress in an unexpected way. While meeting his needs, Hermione grows to like him more than a friend. If she is to request more, their understanding will be broken. What will it take for Harry to give them a fair chance?

If I knew my choice that day would come and bite me in the arse eventually, severely, I wouldn't have done it. Shite. I might have done it either way. The way he looks at me, I think maybe it will all worth it. But the catch is, I risked with his life once, and for the second time I may not get away with it. Not even if it is for him, for me, for us.

Hermione reached to grab his shoulder. Where had he been? Before noticing him, she had thought it was a bloody holiday. The Ministry had been empty. "Harry-" She halted upon the cold gaze set upon her. "Must have mistaken," the man shrugged and walked away, meeting someone far ahead who weirdly looked a bit like... "Sirius?"

She was playing nice. He didn't think she was. She took his offer to play hard, and it brought the change she so desired.

Ron didn't love her. Though she was bitter, she remained friends for Harry's sake. How could she deny him? Harry was her everything. She wanted to be there for him, as he did for her. It took Ginny and Harry to get back together to realize that Harry meant much more for her. She has to stick to the role of best friend because she doubts Harry wishes for something more. But perhaps?

He couldn't remember, so he taught him- showed him. That's how Neville was here today.

He was the last Malfoy. Draco was gone. But, perhaps...what of the heir-in-line? Lucius could teach whoever it is the ways of House Malfoy. A new aim in his dull and miserable life. It was unfortunate that the new Malfoy was the werewolf's son- Teddy Lupin. Lucius could work with that. Wrath of Miss Granger over taking the boy's custody? Nothing he couldn't handle. It was even fun.

She wanted to read the book. Unfortunate, that it was in the confines of the Malfoy Manor. Or fortunate, now that she thought about it.

It was not the original accusation that forced her into a quite life. It was true, indeed. But the press? Hermione Granger, Brightest Witch of Her Age, being outed as a Dark Witch? Perhaps she would be cleared of all charges, but the blame and gossips would remain. Something that led her to the arms of the most unlikely person.

Rotting away in the Malfoy Manor, what Thorfinn Rowle expected last was to be saved by Harry Potter whom he had been tasked to deliver to the Dark Lord. Thorfinn knew only one way to repay his debt to Potter: Pull him through the war alive. Thorfinn couldn't have known that, post-war, this bond with him and Potter would provide chances of flirtatious banter with Hermione Granger.
