Bamfhermione Stories

Bellamione AU. Bellatrix Black found herself thrust into an arranged marriage with the Lestrange family. Meanwhile, Hermione Granger provides intriguing services and entertainment tailored to alleviate the plight of pureblood individuals in similar situations such as hers. Clean mental slate: Hermione has no knowledge of the future but has found ways to live in her high-risk, low-reward environment, managing a covert front for trade and entertainment. Their arrangement raises eyebrows among those perceptive enough to notice, but never quite enough to draw unwanted attention. A dance of convenience or something more? Only the walls of dimly lit meeting places know for certain. The title, synopsis, and cover may or may not change. World-building as I go. Expect canon divergence as this is a same-age AU with differing character personalities. Additionally, the second wizarding war has never happened yet, but tensions are rising as Voldemort starts influencing budding purebloods and recruiting them into his ranks. I intentionally avoided tags and excluded information in the prologue/description that could expose spoilers.

'The butterfly effect is the concept that small causes can have large effects.' The removal of one seemingly unimportant Muggleborn has a devastating effect on the war with Riddle. During the summer following second year Hermione is sent adrift, quite literally, and in her absence the Wizarding World takes a turn for the worst. Hermione returns a hardened fighter ready to rejoin her friends only to find out nothing is like it once was. Putting everything on the line she travels back in time in a last effort to save her friends and everything she holds dear.
