Summary
(Look. LOOK. I am a big big fan of twisting canon, as attested by my ridiculously long series of AUs that mostly feature Harry getting to live somewhere besides Privet Drive, with events afterwards going ever so slightly sideways, minor differences building to send the plot off on a new course that gradually gets further and further from the original. But! Sometimes, it is kind of nice to write a fic that takes a sharp left turn as soon as possible.)

Summary
Having burned bridges in the healing world early on in her career with her blunt and driven nature, Healer Hermione Granger maintains a small private practice in which she tries her best to provide quality care, which includes experimenting with potions. Frustrated with Ministry sanctioned restrictions on how she brews her potions, she reluctantly teams up with reclusive potions master, Draco Malfoy. Exploring their new professional relationship forces them to explore a personal one as well, a relationship that explodes, leaving Hermione and Draco reeling with its consequences.
"'You know, the bride doesn't usually see the groom,” Hermione glanced at the clock on her fireplace mantel, “one hour before the wedding.”
Draco smirked at her. “When have you ever done anything the usual way?'"

Summary
When Harry gets quickly bored of staying in Diagon's main alleyway, he devises a plan to explore the rest of the alley, to the exasperation of Tom the Barman.
He never thought he'd discover a mild version of a rare magical skill and gain a passion in rune craft while doing it, but he can't really complain as it eventually gets him a boyfriend too.

Summary
McGonagall sighed and pinched the bridge of her nose, “Very well Miss Granger, let’s get started.”
Harry placed his hand on the cover of the book with the number one on it causing it to glow slightly before it opened. With a flick of his wand Dumbledore, who had a curious look in his eyes as he regarded the now calm, relaxed, and even playful children in front of him, caused the book to start reading on its own.OR: Reading the books, but I add my own twist here and there.
The updates will probably be extremely erratic and slow. So I apologize in advance. I don't own any recognizable work, and I don't agree with JKR's views. Please enjoy.

Summary
On record, Hermione Granger was an overworked and underpaid attorney for the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, taking mostly cases involving the mistreatment and abuse of magical creatures. Her ten, sometimes twelve hour days started promptly at 7:30 am, her brisk walk across the Ministry atrium in her sensible work heels blissfully quiet before the morning rush of witches and wizards turned the cavernous space into chaos.
Off record, however, was a different story entirely.
Leave it to Draco Malfoy to barge in and tip the scales on the precarious balance she has on her life.
[Or: Hermione Granger, disappointed and disheartened by the sluggish and antiquated way the Ministry of Magic handles Death Eaters and sympathizers, takes matters into her own hands. Draco Malfoy, never one to mind his own business, inserts himself into her narrative.]

Summary
It's a dire time for the wizarding world. Albus Dumbledore has issued a grave warning that Lord Voldemort is attempting to return to power, only to be removed from his position by an increasingly meddling Ministry of Magic, who now seem to be taking greater measures to control Hogwarts. All of this is happening in the midst of the Triwizard Tournament, in which an agent of Voldemort himself has seen fit to attempt to force Harry to participate.
Harry, however, is having absolutely none of this and has instead elected to leave the country.
Under the guise of a study-abroad program at the new and prestigious Lily Academy, Harry and his friends have jetted off to America for a much-needed escape from a bunch of backwards inbreds and their crumbling society. But will the Atlantic Ocean itself be enough to keep their troubles at bay? And what mysteries await them beyond the Proclamation Line of 1763? Harry is about to find out that the New World means new troubles, ones he could never have imagined.
The clock is ticking. But what is it counting down to?

Ch. 11
Men in offices, men in suits, decided for him that his life was worth their money, that they could rest on feather mattresses knowing he slept muddied in a trench. To them, he was a number on a page, a weight on a scale that was yet not enough tipped in their favor.
War monetizes lives, prices the priceless and then sells them for that cost, paid in bullet and blood. Henry will never again return home, will not know love, fatherhood, the rigors and trials of a life truly lived. And the men in their offices who sold him for a pittance without ever knowing his name, sleep again on feathers and down, in sheets of cotton and silk.
Ch. 12
“A Gryffindor is always ready to fight for the right cause,” she said. “Otherwise it’s nothing but bluster and bravado.”

Summary
Five years after the war, Hermione Granger is climbing the Ministry ranks—and rapidly losing faith in the institution she once believed in. Her newest project, a Muggleborn Integration Initiative, is drowning in political resistance… until two unexpected allies step forward: Lucius and Narcissa Malfoy.
Working with the Malfoys was never part of Hermione’s life plan, but Lucius’s sharp political instincts and Narcissa’s quiet guidance through pure-blood society become invaluable. And somehow, somewhere along the way, they start to feel less like former enemies and more like… family.
Then Draco returns from his self-imposed exile in France—older, steadier, and carrying the unresolved tension of the understanding he and Hermione formed during their final months at Hogwarts. Assigned to her project, he forces Hermione to confront the past he walked away from. Their partnership is supposed to be professional. It doesn’t stay that way.
With rising political stakes, shifting allegiances, and the Malfoys blatantly playing matchmaker, Hermione realizes that unexpected allies can become unexpected everything.
And that slow burns can turn into wildfires.
