Summary
“For the record,” she blurted before she could stop herself, “You aren’t ‘old and wretched.’ In fact you look -” Hermione cut herself off, her brain catching up before she could say something truly disastrous like "even better than before" or worse yet, "utterly edible".
“ - the same.” She finished lamely. “Since I last saw you ten years ago, you still look - er - the same.”
At this, Remus burst into good-natured laughter, rocking back on his heels.
“Thank goodness for small mercies,” he said, eyes crinkling at Hermione. “Has it really been ten years since I saw you last?” he asked.
Hermione nodded with a small smile.
He fell quiet, gazing steadily at her, chewing thoughtfully on his bottom lip.
*****************
Remus Lupin has been doing important research on an island in the middle of nowhere for years. When he finally gets a Research Assistant, he is shocked to see that it's Hermione Granger. She doesn't need him to be as excited as she is, she knows her presence is a surprise...she's just hoping it's not an unwelcome one.

Summary
This story started as a series of drabbles, ficlets, and could-have-been-canon scenes beginning in June of 1995 wherein Fred and Hermione slowly become more than friendly acquaintances. Similarly, this fic itself has gradually morphed into much more than that, and certainly more than I had ever intended it to be.
It’s now 250k+ words of my explaining by example all of the ways that these two could - SHOULD - have been canon, and what that might have looked like if it ran alongside the events of the original books (or most of them, anyway).
That said, this story is significantly darker than canon, and it touches on some of the trauma that was previously brushed over, as well as injecting some where it makes sense to have occurred. There’s plenty of humor and joy, but there’s also a lot of pain that, within the context of the story, has good reason to be felt.
Regarding the Underage tag, the characters are ages sixteen and eighteen at the first occurrence. If this upsets your sensibilities, this is not the story for you. Especially triggering content will be called out in chapter notes.

Summary
Pulvis et umbra sumus
'We are dust and shadows'Draco has made a mistake, he has walked down a path he may not be able to return from. Everything he did was to protect Hermione from the Prophecies but did he push her towards them? The second Trial is about to start, directly after the Yule ball.
No one can be trusted and the Dark Lord is gaining strength and an army is rising. With so much loss and death in the castle can Draco and Hermione find themselves and save everyone? Or have they lost any chance of a future?
Lightning doesn’t strike twice and the forked prophecy is fast approaching. The question isn’t whether they can survive the trials, it’s whether Draco and Hermione can survive eachother.
I do not permit this book to be bound, translated or redistributed, without my written consent.
All the characters belong to JK Rowling, I own this original story and characters but not the world.Series

Summary
Tensions are high. People are remembering how much they used to hate each other. A masquerade ball will keep things calm.
It won't leave Hermione frantically trying to cover up the fact she's slept with her worst enemy.
It won't mean she now sees Draco Malfoy in a different light than she did before.
It definitely won't make things awkward now that she might be his boss.
It won't. It won't.A masquerade ball is a great idea.
