    Summary

    “Save my son,” Narcissa’s voice was steady, her eyes determined. “Save my family.”

     

    Hermione Nott always dreamed. She dreamed of a different life, a life without magic.

    She dreamed she was a muggle.

    Or so she thought.

    When she was 11, she dreamed she was actually a muggleborn going to Hogwarts, instead of the Beauxbatons school her family sent her to.

    When she was 13, she dreamed of being petrified.

    But these were just dreams, right?

    Except, when she was 17, her parents transferred her to Hogwarts mid-term and engaged her to the Black heir.

    After that, she began to think that maybe…just maybe… these weren’t dreams at all.

    Summary

    Hermione was sick of adventure. She'd had her fair share, and taking a seat at the desk in the back of the DLME was all she could have dreamed of -- until it wasn't.

    One day Hermione is summoned to the bowels of the Ministry where she is met by the lead Unspeakable who has a rather odd situation that needs to be dealt with.

    Draco Malfoy has just arrived from twenty years in the future and insists on speaking to his wife, Hermione Granger.

    The only problem is that the Draco Malfoy she knows is still the snarky, button-pushing boy upstairs--and not the man in front of her now.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger-Malfoy is sick. The healers at St. Mungos can't seem to figure out why and have referred her to muggle doctors instead. Draco doesn't understand a lick about doctors, but he would be damned before he let his wife die.

    Summary

    She should be dead. It’s all Hermoine Granger knows for certain. Instead, she wakes in a hospital in 1975 with no memory of who she is, only that she’s been terribly hurt. Plagued by magical injuries—both physical and cursed—and with no record of her past, the Ministry names her a lost student and places her under Hogwarts’ care. As Hermione begins to piece herself back together, strange memories haunt her, and war looms on the horizon.
