Summary
She turns a corner and there he is.
It seems he has come looking for her too.
He looks… different, she hazily has time to think. He’s down to a black singlet and black trousers; somewhere along the way he has disposed of his duster and the gun, though he is still carrying all the knives. His knuckles are bruised. His hair is wild, standing every which way and falling into his eyes.
And his stance…
It is terrifying.
Head held low and forward between hunched shoulders. Contours tight and rigid, tension singeing him. Violence an aura almost warping the way she perceives him. Fingers clenching and unclenching. And the scars on his face are so dark with blood that they are almost crimson.
An overhead back-up light hits his face, and she sees bared teeth. She sees eyes so infernal that they override even her Omega hormones, pierce through to the primal survival instincts lying fallow in her hindbrain.
“Ah,” he says, his voice low and full of sharp edges. Like he’s gargling on flint. “You came. Good. Good girl.”
She throws the wrench at him and turns and runs.
OR: Hermione is only meant to observe, NOT engage. Strict orders. Ironclad.
Oops.

Summary
It was small, slim, about the length of her hand; the leather cover was soft, the sewn-in binding was crisp, and the thick vellum pages were empty. 'Tom Marvolo Riddle' was printed in ancient, flaking gold leaf across the front.He had been a Slytherin, a prefect, and head boy in 1944.
She had checked.

Summary
He reached out, ran a single fingertip along the notches of her spine, from the base of her neck to the valley between her shoulder blades. She shivered.
“You aren’t anything like anyone,” he admitted.

Summary
I remember the way our gazes caught, the way an unexpected shiver danced down my spine, notches stuck straight, locked firmly in place, but still quivering, still trembling—because you knew me, and I did not know you, and while those circumstances were hardly strange—I was the regular guest of honor at the Malfoys’ tea parties, after all, the very first name at the very top of the guest list—there was something unsettling about your recognition, something about the barely-there tilt of your chin that felt mocking and predatory, like a hunter staring down its prey through the unforgiving barrel of a rifle.

Begins with Choosing Grey.
