    Summary

    *Note: previously titled "Wandless" - I changed the name because there were a ton of other Dramione fics with the same title, and I thought I might be making it harder to find any of us. I'd originally thought to use this title anyway, so I'm going back to my original thought. Hope it makes things easier and not harder!

    *

    Born with a form of magic unseen in the wizarding world for centuries, Draco Malfoy's very existence is illegal according to ancient wizarding law. That same law says he should have been killed at birth, but Lucius had other ideas.

    Hermione Granger always thought Malfoy didn't really add up. She heard the rumors about him, about how he supposedly suffered from some rare illness as a child and was never seen until he appeared at Hogwarts as a first year. By sixth year, the contradictions strike her as even more obvious, but her best friends only see him as a possible death eater, one likely infiltrating the school on some dark mission from Voldemort.

    Note: I'll update tags as I go. Please let me know if I miss any important ones, as this is my first fan fiction so the format is new to me, thank you!

    Summary

    They'd only ever had each other, and Hermione had hoped that would last forever. Brother and sister, born of the same egg, never apart. Two halves of the same soul.

    But he's gone now, and she has lost herself entirely. It's like her heart has been snatched from within by the dark hand of death.

    And she's ready to drown now, to let go.

    Trouble is: he won't let her.

    Summary

    James Potter went five years at Hogwarts without realizing Lily had a little sister. Hermione would have preferred it if he never realized she existed. Now she's stuck, in Potter's circle of awareness, and maintaining the timeline. Not like he makes it easy, or something.

     

    Aug 2023 edit: I had a baby in late 2022. RL takes priority over writing fanfic. This story is NOT abandoned. I am still working on the final two chapters; I write in segments and jump from scene to scene instead of linearly, which means the final two chapters are being written concurrently. This story WILL be finished - please stop leaving comments saying it's abandoned because it is not. I have outgrown Harry Potter fandom (as seen by my more recent story updates), but I am committed to finishing this story because it has been a labour of love. It will just take a longer time, and I'm hoping that once my little one is in daycare and I'm back at work I will be able to write more.

    Summary

    Grindewald fell in 1950: the five years in which he still held sway changed the course of history. Wizarding Britain, terrified at threats to the Statute of Secrecy, decided in the late 50s to pass the Muggleborn Wizarding Appropriation Act, which took muggleborn children from their parents at the first incidence of accidental magic. Children could be fostered or adopted by wizarding families, or would live in Wizarding Institutional Houses. Some Pureblood families took things a step further and decided to foster children in case they only had one heir to act as a sibling, companion, and stand-in for punishments deemed too harsh for their own children. If the muggleborn did well, they reasoned, it meant they had earned their place in the wizarding world.

    Hermione Granger is such a child, chosen at a young age to be Draco Malfoy's companion. She's an ideal muggleborn: polite, intelligent, and capable. It's not until she attends Hogwarts that someone sees her potential. She becomes the favorite of a certain professor, who sees her power for what it is.

    Meanwhile, Lucius Malfoy is embroiled in Wizarding politics, influenced by his sister-in-law's mad manipulations.

    Summary

    The more she trusted him, the more she wanted his hands on her. In her hair and on her neck. She longed to be vulnerable in their custody. He knew how to take her to heaven, but he preferred to drag her through hell first, and she felt the angel in her vanish, and the devil in her beg for more.
