Tangled Threads
The war is over, but the scars still linger. Hogwarts reopens its doors for a final, unofficial "eighth year", a chance for students to rebuild, relearn, and heal. Hermione Granger never expected peace to feel so heavy. Between long nights, thick books, and memories that refuse to fade, she carries the weight of a war that changed her. But nothing unsettles her quite like the presence of Draco Malfoy , quieter than she remembers, eyes darker, posture heavier. When a potion partnership forces them into uncomfortable closeness, the tension begins to simmer, awkward brushes of fingers, half-said apologies, and moments that feel like maybe, just maybe, people can change. But old wounds don't vanish overnight. Prejudices linger in hallways. And fate, as always, has a twisted sense of timing. But sometimes, answers come only when you least expect them.Complete
Waltz of the Wayward Hearts
Ten years after leaving Hogwarts behind, Harry Potter has no interest in attending the Reunion Ball. He doesn't want to be reminded of the ghosts of his past-especially not the one with silver eyes and a smirk that once felt like home. But when duty (and a meddling Hermione) forces his hand, Harry finds himself back in the great hall, drowning in nostalgia and old regrets. And then, there's Draco Malfoy. Older, sharper, just as infuriating-and still able to unravel Harry with a single glance. As the music swells and the past and present collide, Harry must decide whether to keep running from what once was or take a chance on what could be. After all, the dance floor isn't the only place where steps can be retraced, and some rhythms are impossible to forget.Complete
