Summary
"Plants and fashion aren’t so different,” Pansy said, setting down the tray. “Both require understanding of form and function, of how material behaves under different conditions.” She handed him a cup, their fingers brushing in the exchange. “Both create beauty from raw potential.”
“I’ve never thought of it that way,” Neville admitted. “But it makes perfect sense.”

When Professor Sprout recruits Pansy Parkinson for a summer project propagating rare magical orchids, she expects soil-stained hands and tedious hours in humid greenhouses—not the slow, inexorable pull toward the man she once mercilessly mocked.
Forced to face her past and test who she has become, Pansy is met with an undeniable truth.
Summer plants the seeds of possibility.
Autumn tests what fragile roots have formed.
Winter forces them to choose what's worth nurturing.
And spring...
Spring reveals what flourishes when unlikely gardeners tend to each other's deepest soil.-or-
Some seeds take longer to germinate than others, but with the right conditions—with patience and care—even the most guarded heart can bloom.

[Albus Dumbledore] "Blind obedience to any god or man is foolish."
BLACKWOOD
What began as a noble pursuit of truth slowly spirals into an all-consuming obsession, where each step forward weaves another bramble in a tangled web of thorns. Hermione Granger, a dedicated mental health activist, works alongside Marlene McKinnon to seek justice for those abandoned by the system.
But as the lines between right and wrong begin to blur, the very walls of her psyche start to crumble, leaving Hermione to question not only the truth she’s fought so fiercely for, but what, in the end, is the true prison.

Summary
Pansy turned, ready to manoeuvre her way towards the petite blonde she had seen earlier, but one of the mirrored columns momentarily captivated her attention. She paused. Pureblood families were renowned for particular familial traits. For the Parkinsons, it was obsidian hair, the Malfoys platinum blond. In the Blacks it was their silver hued eyes, and for the Weasley’s it was a particular shade of red.
Not quite copper and definitely not orange by any standard, but resembling the fiery hues of a blazing sky - as if a smouldering ember from the sun gently caressed the crown of their family’s head.
Pansy would recognise her anywhere.
-or-
This was the quintessence of falling in love.
But everyone always said that honest feelings and bad timing made the most painful combination.
And for Pansy Parkinson, falling for Ginny Potter was like staring at a puzzle without its last piece — she would never feel complete.

“I’ve been thinking,” Ginny murmured, her tone like velvet brushing over bare skin, making the hair on Pansy’s arms stand on end. “Perhaps we’ve been wrong to keep this from ourselves. From Him.”
-or-
The one where Ginny and Pansy are nuns, and they need to seek their Father’s absolution.

Summary
Reasons why being in love with Draco Malfoy is wholly unacceptable:
1. He is insufferable
2. He is married
3. He is her academic rival
4. Now, unhappily, he is also her colleague, and they are meant to be collaborating
5. Professional boundaries ought to be observed with colleagues
5b. Especially when her application for tenure is fully dependent on forging a successful academic collaboration with said colleague
6. It is not compatible with her five-year plan (see items 1-5 for specifics)Hermione has a deeply compelling list of reasons not to be in love with Draco Malfoy. To her dismay, when her department chair at St. Mungo's Medical School forces her into close proximity with Malfoy for the sake of undertaking an alchemy collaboration, she begins to develop romantic feelings she never meant to have.
Desperate to remedy this lamentable affliction, she invents a potion that can reverse the state of being in love. The only trouble is, she can’t seem to bring herself to take it.
Or: In which Hermione tries to force quit being in love.

Summary
She meets a pack of Australian muggles at a pub in Barcelona; they tell her that they’re staying in a youth hostel with bunk beds and communal bathrooms and rat traps in the hallways—and she sneers in response, half-cocked and semi-automatic, but then a bottle of Absinthe is produced from an Army-issue canvas knapsack and she’s being handed a fire-filled glass and told to ‘say hi to the green fairy’ and the lights spin and the room tilts and she smokes her first cigarette and kisses her first stranger and smears her pearl-pink lipstick on a cocktail napkin to wipe the sweat off her face and she hears herself laugh and laugh and laugh and there’s music pulsing in bass-heavy shockwaves up the notches of her spine and there’s salt on the insides of her thighs and the hollows of her hips and she isn’t Pansy Parkinson anymore, no, she isn’t a girl who hides or runs or escapes, no, she’s someone else she’s someone new she’s someone who’s breathing and fighting and alive—Because there’s a word for what she’s doing.
