This is the story of what might have happened if Sang was on her own after college. The characters of the guys in both the Ghost Bird and the Scarab Beetle teams and Sang herself are the creations of CL Stone, as is the Academy. Other characters are my own, including some characters introduced in The Patient. Events that unfolded in The Patient are referenced and up through the time Sang goes to college will be roughly the same, although not identical. Although not every chapter will contain explicit imagery, at some point it's inevitable, thus the Mature rating. This is another book where Sang does not end up with all of the Blackbourne team.

It's seventh year, and students are asked to return to Hogwarts after the war. Her current relationship with Ron is going down hill as he turns abusive. What happens when a certain Gryffindor girl drops behind her very personal diary, and it lands in the hands of her former bully? Hermione granger writes in her diary every day, even her deepest, and darkest secrets and traumatic life experiences lie inside. The new owner Draco Malfoy, holds a world in this palm of his hands that will help the new owner better understand the old, and his perspective's on the so called perfect golden Gryffindor will quickly change. He quickly finds out that Hermione Granger was not all he thought she was, and feelings quickly form and things get in the way that will put them both to the test. Will they be able to overcome all the obstacles in their way? Read to find out!

How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger. The monotony of Draco's daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing morning coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence. Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can't find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why is morning coffee with Draco Malfoy the only thing that makes sense anymore? *cover art created by @eternallyreadinggoodthings

Continuing Sang's story from The Patient I and II. Sang's world has changed enormously since her family fell apart. She's taking risks to find her way without them. Will she leave everything behind? Sang, some other minor characters, the six members of the Toma team and the nine members of the Blackbourne team are from CL Stone's Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle series; this story uses these characters and the idea of the Academy as a launching point.

Beware: this is not a story where the ten of them live happily ever after. Based on CL Stone's characters in the Ghost Bird series. These are not my characters.

When Luke gets chicken pox, Sang steps in to help. Secrets come to light, but it looks like there will be a happy ending...or will the family turn on itself? This is the second volume of an ongoing story. This is a fanfic based on the Academy series by CL Stone. I do not own these characters.

Sang's first Christmas back in Charleston. This little story is the result of a post on Facebook where people were invited to write ten chapters of one of their stories for the holidays. Enjoy!

A whole year; they'd been beyond my reach for an entire year and the days just seemed to be getting longer and harder to handle. I visited them every day and watched over them as they rested but how much longer can I continue to endure this? For so many months they were all that I'd had and now I felt like my whole universe had imploded. My true family; the one I'd chosen, my boys. They weren't down the street anymore. I couldn't send them a message and ask them to come and visit. Slowly, as the days turned to weeks and then months, my pain had numbed along with every other emotion and I could function on some level but I hadn't smiled since the day that Dr Roberts had knocked on Nathan's door and informed me that somehow Volto had won.

Sang has always existed on the edges. With no friends to call her own and an older, popular sister who keeps her distance, she has learned to stay small. Quiet, clumsy, and painfully shy, she slips through the halls unnoticed. Some call her an outsider. Most don't notice her at all. Hidden behind oversized glasses and baggy clothes, she is used to being invisible and she prefers it that way. Until the day someone finally notices her. The Blackbourne team never intended to get close, but they find themselves drawn to the quiet girl everyone else overlooks. Their mission at Ashley Waters comes first, yet Sang's past begins to intertwine with it in ways none of them expect. When things escalate, the Toma team is brought in, and it quickly becomes clear that both teams are falling for her. As the lines between duty and emotion begin to blur, Sang is faced with something she has never had before: people who choose her. And for the first time, she begins to learn what it truly means to be loved, and to belong. ┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈┈ Fanfiction of C.L. Stone's Ghost Bird and Scarab Beetle series. Confirmed HEA RH ending with Sang x Blackbourne Team x Toma Team. No male x male pairings. Rewritten as of 5/2/2026

Hermione Granger survived the Battle of Hogwarts and returned to finish her studies. One morning she coughs up blood and realizes the desperate truth. Bellatrix's blade not only carved the word "mudblood" into her skin but also cursed her with the terrible Atrophia Maledictio or the Withering Curse. Her time is running out, and the curse is slowly withering her body in agony. And only one wizard can help her... Draco Malfoy. I wrote it in Hungarian and translated it into English. Please be kind to me about my English grammar. Thank you!
