** WARNING ** This fic contains themes in later chapters of depictions of violence. Chapters which contain these themes will include a trigger warning at the start of the episode.

“Do you remember when I told the minister that the Time Turner isn’t a weapon?”

“Yes.”

“I was wrong. It is a weapon. In the wrong hands, it could—it could destroy everything.”

It’s been twelve years since the war ended. Ten years since Draco Malfoy was forced from the depths of his depression by a mother and friends who refused to let him die in peace. Six years since he became an Auror for all the wrong reasons.

And for the next month, he's been assigned to protect Hermione Granger as she completes her latest invention: a new type of time travel.

You can’t change what happened, she told him. There could be catastrophic effects, cascading like ripples in a pond. So when they find themselves at the centre of a dark conspiracy that leaves them trapped in a past he’s been running from his whole life, they need to find a way home without unravelling their future.

Sequel to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠'Bending Light'⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

It's a year since Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy parted in Italy with promises of love and fidelity. The Battle of Hogwarts is over and Voldemort is dead. And although the price paid was high, Hermione is ready to start the rest of her life, and her eighth year studies, with Draco by her side. No hiding and no shame.But when Draco finally arrives at Hogwarts, it's obvious that things are very wrong. Why is he acting so strangely? And what happened during the long months he lived as a double agent, passing secrets from the Death Eaters to the Order?No one is talking, but Hermione will get to the truth, even if it means breaking her own heart in the process.

If Bending Light was the warm, lazy Italian summer, this is the dark, brooding Scottish winter. Dress warmly.

** FINAL EPISODE**

[...with a little bit of Theomione too]

Draco Malfoy was in exile, though they called it protection. It was the summer after sixth year and he'd taken Dumbledore's offer, defected to the other side and been sent away to a small town in Italy for his troubles.No magic, few rules, and not a lot to do -- until Hermione Granger arrived.

What do you do when you're thrown into exile with the last person you wanted? You live like there's no tomorrow...

** FINAL EPISODE **

Hermione, now in her mid-20s, is back at Hogwarts to pursue higher education. Trying to forget the trauma carved into her by the war, she spends one lust-filled night with a certain pureblood. But that night will have consequences. While her personal life unravels, a string of mysterious murders forces her to work together with Draco Malfoy, who himself seems to carry many secrets.

"He scared her. Not because he wielded killing curses like they were nothing, but because he seemed to understand her in a way that even she didn’t. The more she let him in, the more power he had to destroy her."

** WARNING ** This fic contains themes in later chapters of depictions of violence. Chapters which contain these themes will include a trigger warning at the start of the episode.

“Do you remember when I told the minister that the Time Turner isn’t a weapon?”

“Yes.”

“I was wrong. It is a weapon. In the wrong hands, it could—it could destroy everything.”

It’s been twelve years since the war ended. Ten years since Draco Malfoy was forced from the depths of his depression by a mother and friends who refused to let him die in peace. Six years since he became an Auror for all the wrong reasons.

And for the next month, he's been assigned to protect Hermione Granger as she completes her latest invention: a new type of time travel.

You can’t change what happened, she told him. There could be catastrophic effects, cascading like ripples in a pond. So when they find themselves at the centre of a dark conspiracy that leaves them trapped in a past he’s been running from his whole life, they need to find a way home without unravelling their future.
