    Summary

    Before his third year of Hogwarts has even begun, Harry faces three whole weeks of unsupervised time in Diagon Alley. In that time he takes a trip to Gringotts - and that changes everything.

    Burdened with the knowledge that Dumbledore has been blocking his family magic, and manipulating far more than he ever thought possible, Harry doesn't know who he can trust; but he knows he can't keep going that way. There's a whole world of lore and politics and history to catch up on, and the more he learns, the more Harry realises his true place in the world, and how much is being kept hidden from him. All the while, Dumbledore's twinkling eyes are constantly watching, and Harry can't let on how much he knows.

    With help from unexpected places, Harry starts on a journey to end the war, and reshape the wizarding world. With how much he looks like James Potter, people have forgotten one important thing about him - he is Lily Evans' son, and she was one hell of a witch.

    Summary

    The Light has won the war. Headmistress Minerva McGonagall has made it compulsory for all those who missed their 7th year to retake their final year, but she no longer believes the original house allegiances stand. All 8th years are set to be re-sorted into new houses as part of the efforts to recuperate after the war.

    What happens when two-thirds of the Golden trio find themselves in the House of Cunning and Ambition, and the other finds himself tainted with a force far beyond his control?

    What happens when Hermione makes a startling discovery about her heritage and finds herself grappling with the implications and Magic it comes with? What happens when the Brightest Witch of her age is forced to change her priorities, find family where she never expected to, and seek comfort in the arms of the boy who had no choice? The answers all lie in the Snake Pit.

    A story about ancient magic, a corrupted soul that conjures Nightmares and a not-so-dead Headmaster. A story about forgiveness, finding yourself, and of course, saving the world. But most importantly, a story about a boy and a girl that were tested at every turn, but fell in love despite the odds.

    Summary

    “She will be safer here,” Dumbledore said.

    Crouch’s gaze did not leave the infant. “Safe,” he repeated, as if the word were something bitter against his tongue. His gloved hand hovered once above the blanket, never quite touching. “She will live,” he said at last, quiet and aching all at once. “That is all that matters now.”

    Hermione Granger was never meant to inherit anything but books, brilliance, and the sharp burden of always being underestimated. But magic remembers what the world buries, and some truths do not stay dead simply because they are hidden. When eyes begin to linger and old names begin to stir, Hermione finds herself standing at the edge of a legacy she was never meant to touch, and one that may yet claim her.

    Summary

    Please mind the trigger warnings.

    Draco Malfoy hadn’t expected to ever see Hermione Granger again. Six months after the war, with Harry Potter dead and the Malfoy name barely spared from Azkaban, Draco returns to Hogwarts for a memorial ceremony he has no intention of attending. Instead, he finds Hermione alone, pregnant, and grieving.
    Draco is forced to confront what his family knew, what they ignored, and how deep the rot in his own house truly went.
    For Hermione Granger, the war did not end when Voldemort fell, and for Draco Malfoy, the greatest mercy he can offer may be staying far away from her.

    “So you did nothing.”

    “Yes. I did nothing,” he snapped. “I was sixteen, and I did nothing. Then I was seventeen, and I did nothing. Then I stood in a courtroom while people called what I did brave because I failed to identify you properly. I did the smallest decent thing possible after years of cowardice, and they let me live for it. So no, Granger, I don’t expect you to think me innocent. I don’t even expect you to think me human most days.”

    She blinked at him, her eyes glassy and unseeing.

    "Come have tea at the manor."

    Summary

    Scott Hunter doesn't hate Ilya Rozanov, but after overhearing a conversation he shouldn't have in a Las Vegas bathroom, he's reconsidering.

    Because now, he thinks Ilya is an idiot for not treating Shane Hollander the way any man would kill to. For making the man cry in a public restroom of all places after ghosting him for months.

    Scott Hunter realizes what an idiot Rozanov is, and figures Shane Hollander might need to be shown just how wanted he is.
