    Summary

    In which Draco is hit by an unfamiliar curse, affecting his magic. Hermione is a healer, specialising in magical degenerative diseases. Healing him demands copious amounts of research, forced proximity and red wine. Added bonus is pining, frisky feelings and a grumpy cat.

    Set 15 years after the war, this fic features my favourite tropes, a medical mystery, a reasonable amount of snark, and a lot (a lot) of pure self-indulgence.

    Summary

    “From imperial Muggle blood shall rise the Witch That Was Promised, and with hers, the Dawn of Dragons.”

    Two-hundred years ago, after the last dragon was rumoured dead, magic was outlawed by the crown. Anyone suspected of being a witch or wizard was burned at the stake, driving those remaining with magical blood into hiding. But with the outlaw of magic came a prophecy threatening its eventual and inevitable return, and with it, the return of the dragons.

    Draco Malfoy, born in the Far North among other Pureblood magical families, has grown up under the ruthless and fearful command of the resurrected Dark Lord, their magic and numbers hidden from the rest of the realm by miles and miles of snow and ice. When the Dark Lord suspects a specific prophecy has come true, Draco is given a seemingly impossible task that leads him to question his heritage and his heart.

    Hermione Granger, a handmaiden working in the Golden Keep, has kept her rudimentary magical abilities a secret since she was eleven. But after increasingly strange things start happening after her encounter with a particularly ornate dagger, she's forced to learn exactly who she is and what she's destined for.

    Summary

    Those who abolished the Statute of Secrecy in 1945 never intended the horrors that came afterwards.

    By 1998, Wizarding Britain—styled after a reborn Roman Empire with Imperator Voldemort at its helm—controls most of Europe. Resistance is brutally crushed, muggles are in chains, and muggleborns are martyred by dragon fire in front of screaming crowds.

    Hermione Granger is a domestic slave working in the Malfoy household, dreaming of a remade world, and hiding magic in her veins. Discovery means certain death. 

    Draco Malfoy, a tribune and spy for the Imperial Legion, carries the weight of painful secrets. For years, the only way to live with his dark reality has been to shut his eyes to it. 

    But she has a burning star inside her—the light of an entire sun

    And now he is caught between the denial which defines his survival, and the woman he cannot deny.
