Years after defeating Voldemort, Harry Potter's life seems idyllic: he's a celebrated Auror, husband to Ginny, and father to three children. But under the surface, he feels restless and disconnected from his family and himself. When Hermione Granger, now a tireless advocate for magical rights, reconnects with Harry over shared frustrations, their friendship takes a dangerous turn. A single impulsive meeting at the Hogsmeade Best Western spirals into a secret affair that threatens to unravel everything they've built.
Ron Weasley, oblivious to the betrayal, senses Hermione pulling away and begins a downward spiral into despair. Moving into a dingy studio apartment with a futon he affectionately names "Fred II," Ron copes with his heartache through reckless adventures, tequila-fueled escapades, and moments of harsh self-reflection.
As Harry and Hermione's affair deepens, its impact ripples through their lives. Ginny grows suspicious, their children-especially the resentful Albus-struggle with Harry's emotional absence, and whispers of scandal begin circulating at the Ministry of Magic. When the truth comes out in a dramatic public confrontation, the Golden Trio faces the collapse of their friendships and marriages.
Harry and Ron's explosive confrontation forces long-buried resentments into the open. As relationships fracture, each grapples with their choices: Hermione retreats into solitude, Ron begins to rediscover himself with the help of Neville Longbottom, and Harry seeks redemption by revisiting Godric's Hollow and the memories of his parents.
In the end, all three must confront their flaws and find a way to heal the damage they've caused. Through pain, forgiveness, and growth, they learn that even in a magical world, mistakes have profound consequences-and rebuilding trust and love takes courage and time.

After three years of dating, Ron admits he cheated on Hermione for two of those years with Daphne Greengrass--and Harry knew all about it. Reeling from the betrayal by her friends and family, Hermione must rebuild her life and discover new bonds with an unlikely group including Theo Nott, Blaise Zabini, and Pansy Parkinson. What happens when Draco Malfoy, her first and deepest love, suddenly reappears in Hermione's life and she finds that her feelings have only grown deeper with time? OR: Hermione and Draco secretly dated at Hogwarts, he left after his trial, and now he's returned to win her back. --------- DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THIS FIC AT ALL.

**Disclaimer** These characters are not mine. They belong to J.K Rowling and the rest of the Harry Potter fans out there. This is simply a fanfiction of mine. This AU is non-magical. In it, Harry's parents were brilliant, kind millionaire's that were murdered when Harry was a toddler. He was raised mainly by Sirius Black, his godfather and set to inherit his father's side of the family businesses when he was old enough. Kept away from the media all his life(only ever making appearances for charity events and business parties), Sirius decides to enrol him in Hogwarts so that he can feel a bit normal. But things go south when Voldermort resurfaces and his return forces Harry to meet Hermione Granger. And with the line between their allies and enemies blurred, Harry and his friends find trust in little and safety in less. Still, with the return of the Dark Lord, there was only one other place that they could go; Hogwarts School. There, Harry meets many students and grabs the eyes of many girls. And while he planned to make friends, do sports and just teenage stuff in general, he didn't plan on, falling for the beautiful bookworm, Hermione Granger that now lived across the hall. And as if things don't seem stressful enough with hormonal teenagers, chaotic romances, family and a billion-dollar company to his name, Voldermort, the killer of Harry's parents returns with his full band of misfits and Sirius Black's enemy, Bellatrix Lestrange, to finish the deed: destroying the Potter empire. //Updates every Saturday⚡🍻🧙♀️🧙♂️// Instagram: @averiej1.adriana2Complete

Scarred but still yours
It's easy to think that the greatest battles are fought on the front lines, in dark alleys or behind closed doors. But for Hermione Granger, the most painful war was one she fought in the silence, on her own. Her marriage to Ron Weasley, once a symbol of hope belonging, had deteriorated into something unrecognisable. Behind the warmth of the Burrow, there were shadows-violent, destructive, and suffocating. But some battles, she would learn, were beyond her ability to win alone. When the chance to escape came, she took it. With nothing but her courage and a few belongings, she fled the life that had once promised so much, seeking solace in the place where her heart had always found peace: Hogwarts. But even within the walls of her beloved school, the scars of her past could not be erased. Not until she found herself working alongside an unexpected ally-Draco Malfoy. The boy who had once stood as her enemy, the one who had tormented her and her friends, now offered her a different kind of support. As time passed, the distance between them began to close, their shared history no longer a wall, but a foundation. They find something in each other they never expected to find again-safety, understanding, and love. But just as they begin to rebuild what had been lost, a shadow from Hermione's past returns to haunt her. Ron, desperate and enraged, comes to Hogwarts-his anger consuming him. He attacks Hermione with the same violence she had escaped from, and in that moment, Draco becomes her protector. This is their story-one of rediscovery, of healing, and of love rekindled against all odds. Together, they will rise from the ashes of their broken pasts and embrace the future both of them have always craved. ****Please note, this fic includes graphic descriptions of traumatic events including all aspects of physical abuse****Complete
A Turn of Events
Hermione had her heart broken, by none other than Ronald Weasley. Although it hurt her badly, she had her time to be sad. She wasn't going to mope around anymore, she'd had enough of that. It was time she be strong. For the first couple of weeks after Ron and Lavender started dating, she did everything in her power to get Ron to pay attention to her, not 'Lavvie'. But recently she realized Ron and Lavender weren't going to breakup anytime soon, so she started to notice other boys. She noticed many boys, but one in particular stuck out the most. He wasn't like the other boys. His dark features, his sweet personality, and he was her best friend. The Golden trios 6th year is getting pretty hectic. With worrying about the dark wizard getting stronger by the second, loads of homework, and new heartbreak. Where hearts will be broken. Drama will be the usual. And new connections will be made, all the while an old evil is rising. [UNDER EDITING]Complete
Violet Potter and the Basilisk Plague (Year Two)
Violet Potter's Second Year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry has begun. When Harry Potter and his best friend, Ron Weasley are almost expelled for (illegally) flying an enchanted car from London to Hogwarts, the calculating and brutal Head of Slytherin House, Professor Snape, personally warns Violet against further fraternization with any Gryffindors. Her own brother and his closest friends in particular. The insufferable Draco Malfoy, the always stuck-up Pansy Parkinson, and several of their cronies also take it upon themselves to give Violet (and Harry) even more grief. The new DADA teacher, while at least not one harboring any dark wizards on the back of his head, is unfortunately as incompetent and narcissistic as a Gilderoy might come, and very likely a complete phony. And what exactly is the deal with the Malfoy family's house-elf anyway? Or the elf that the Maynard family used to own? Violet soon has bigger problems to worry about when the legendary Chamber of Secrets is reopened, as muggle-borns all over the school are turning up petrified. And, worst of all, almost everyone seems to think that Harry and Violet have something to do with these attacks. Even in spite of the fact that Violet and Victoria among a few others have volunteered to work tirelessly with helping Professor Sprout to prepare the antidote and venturing into the other three chambers while Harry, Ron, and Hermione are racing against time to solve the mystery of the infamous Chamber of Secrets itself. But the true culprits are far more sinister than most could ever imagine... Disclaimer: This is a fan reimagining of Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling. I own nothing other than the characters I made up.
