  • The Vanishing Act

    Draco Malfoy's life has become one of endless tricks. His Death Eater initiation? Faked. His death? A ploy. When Hermione Granger discovers him performing magic shows, he'll try every trick in the book to avoid exhuming his past. Even love.

  • Priam's March

    October 1942. A young Tom Riddle approaches Minerva McGonagall for help with Transfigurations, but what he gets is more than he wanted, and what she gives is more than she ever bargained for.

  • Freedom is the Price We Paid

    Voldemort's six feet under, but the war isn't over. Not for Hermione, at least, who shoulders the burden of finding Malfoy. As she expected, he's still an AClass bastard. As she never expected, by discovering him, she discovers a few things about herself.

  • Hermione Granger is a Whore

    Post Hogwarts. Draco approaches the Order with a peace offering, and they have no choice but to accept him. Hermione is quick to forgive, especially after a death in the family causes Ron to grow cold, and Snape discloses secrets of his past.

  • Insomnia

    Regulus can't sleep. He doubts his brother would care, and his alarm clock shows no mercy.

  • Double Jeopardy

    In double jeopardy, a person suffers twice for the same mistake. Remus doesn't want to lose Sirius again. Mild slash.

    After his best friend's death, Remus's mind drifts to depression in the wee hours of the morn. Only then does he receive an unlikely visitor.

  • Reflections on a Handsome Evil

    Oneshot. Minerva McGonagall knew Tom Riddle before he became Lord Voldemort, but nobody asks her about him. She wonders if she'd tell the truth if she were asked. She wonders if she's afraid of the truth.

    Peter Pettigrew's out to prove himself. All he has to do is convince Sirius Black to relinquish his secret keeper's duties, and he will please his new master. But is a little recognition really worth it? Oneshot.

    Oneshot. Remus Lupin can't bring himself to kill Peter Pettigrew, and the latter can't understand why.

  • Debate Debacle in the Malfoy Household

    Oneshot. What if Draco and Hermione had a son? Surely the matter of his sorting would be a topic of ardent debate...

    Oneshot. Bellatrix scolds Narcissa for enlisting the help of Severus Snape to save Draco, and Narcissa fails to articulate to her sister what it means to be a mother.

  • Dear Sirius

    Regulus, before his death, writes one letter to his brother, outlining his impending doom and begging Sirius' forgiveness and even acceptance. Obvious diatribe on who R.A.B. is, and insight into his character.

  • Draco Malfoy and the Dancing Tampons

    Draco stumbles into Hermione's tampon stash and is completely oblivious as to what they are. A short, lighthearted piece that goes to show that even married couples, despite vows to do otherwise, keep secrets from each other. Oneshot.

  • Almost Was Never Enough

    He once told her that she almost made him not lonely in the dark. Oneshot. Draco and Hermione. Dark. T for language, suicide, and other adult themes. I'm sort of disappointed in this one.

    Oneshot. Some of Draco Malfoy's musings in first person on Rowling's favorite Mary Sue, aka, Ginny Weasley. M for heavy language.

  • The Measure of a Man

    Hermione testifies at Draco's trial. I stole the last line from Shakespeare. Sorry, Billy. Yeah, we're on a nickname basis. I sense jealousy. Oneshot.
