    Summary

    Polyjuice. Espionage. Danger.

    It’s six years into a brutal war, and there’s one Horcrux left.

    Hermione Granger must go undercover to pose as Astoria Greengrass in the shadowy halls of Malfoy Manor. Hermione will cross any line if it means completing her mission and ending the war—even if getting intel comes at the cost of seducing Draco Malfoy.

    But what will happen when those lines start to blur?

    Summary

    ***

    The war is over.

    For Draco Malfoy that means a fresh start at Durmstrang: an unplottable fortress high up in the mountains, isolated from the world and a thousand miles from all he hated at Hogwarts. A place where the Dark Mark remains a badge of honor. Where Unforgivables are practiced openly. Where Mudbloods have never been admitted.

    At least until Hermione goes and ruins everything.

    ***

    Or: A Durmstrang spin on an eighth year story feat. toxic Draco, dark Hermione, and the entire gang of snakes.

    Summary

    The muggle man was browsing the stacks at Flourish and Blotts when Lucius spotted something that would change the course of history.

    The muggle had a Dark Mark.

    Surely this man– the father of a mudblood, Lucius reminded himself– hadn't been a Death Eater?

    Lucius didn't know how it was possible, but he vowed there and then that he and his family would do everything in their power to protect this man's daughter-- their very lives could depend upon it.

    Summary

    Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.

    By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.

    Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death. 

    Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it. 

    But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun

    And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.

    Summary

    Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Harry Potter and Hermione Granger are staying at Grimmauld, going through Sirius' things with Remus.

    Two weeks after Sirius Black falls through the Veil, Regulus Black's head breaks above water.

    Dumbledore isn't going to be able to keep the same secrets when a resurrected Death Eater encounters two thirds of the future Golden Trio. But Voldemort's desire for immortality means his favored General is exceedingly interested in her cousin's return to life.

    -----

    “Such magic is dark,” Remus breathed. “It isn’t even meant to exist. It would have required… I mean, a lot of blood, if this is blood magic… surely not…”

    Regulus sighed. Sirius had thought Remus’ stammering and wide eyes when his mind was overworking was cute. Reg disagreed. “Several human sacrifices,” he finished for him. “It would have taken several human sacrifices.” Their mother was certainly deranged enough to do it.

    “Is it reversible?” mini-Potter muttered.
