Summary
Hermione Granger met Harry Potter when she was in Year 5 at Swinwearte Primary School. He was the new boy with the wild black hair and the gap-toothed grin who made his friend laugh and carried a sketchbook everywhere. She noticed him. She didn't think he noticed her back.
But Harry did notice. He always had.
Year after year, he built a life around her—holding the bus seat, staying on past his stop, walking her to the corner of Maple and Oak, stepping into her world without asking permission. Hermione experienced it all without naming it. She noticed. She filed it away. She told herself they were friends.
They were friends.
Just friends who ended up at the same university. Friends who wrote letters and met for dinner and walked through bookshops on rainy afternoons. Friends who taught each other things that probably weren't just friendly. Friends everyone else seemed to think belonged to each other.
Hermione knew better.
Or did she?
A Muggle AU spanning primary school through graduate school. Initially planned as a one-shot, but I'm not going to meet the deadline if I don't post right.this.minute. as a multi-chapter fic!

Summary
Once upon a time, a lonely girl met an abused boy. She gave him a birthday card, he gave her Pixie Stix, and they gave each other confidence. Then they met a stray dog and learned of another world, the sort of world that swallowed brilliant girls and orphan boys whole and left only the bones.
And they decided to Kick. Its. Ass.
They also kind of got engaged, but they'll sort that out later.
(Now a full canon rewrite with 90% less angst and at least 200% more chaos. Highlights include accidental kidnappings, intentional kidnappings, glitterpigs, eldritch horrors, tooth-rotting fluff, bad-ass children, a handful of competent adults, unexpected medieval weaponry, misuse of household cleaning charms & equipment, and unsupervised Lovegoods.)

Summary
One disastrous breakup was all it took to convince Hermione dating your best friend was a terrible idea. So why is she having such a hard time staying out of her other best friend's bed? Her mind already knows its a mistake. If only she could get her heart on board too.
This piece was written for The Harmony Shag-A-Thon, hosted by the Facebook group, Harmony & Co. All canon characters, plots, dialogue, and situations from the Harry Potter series belongs to JK Rowling. I am not profiting from this work.
