The true Time-Turner was slammed savagely into Hermione’s throat. It shattered against her neck—glass and gold biting skin—then darkness and a glittering plume of metallic dust. When she wakes, it’s 1950: pure-blood salons, ruthless politics, and Tom Riddle in his terrifying prime. Caught between dark magic, the Malfoys, and Riddle’s unnerving attention, Hermione must outthink a future Dark Lord—and herself—before history hardens around her.

Draco Malfoy has a mission he can’t share and a conscience he can’t silence. Prefect nights paired with Hermione Granger should make everything harder—so why do those quiet corridors start to feel like the only place he sees a path forward? Across sixth and seventh year, barbed quips give way to fragile trust as an unlikely alliance threatens to reroute the Second Wizarding War—if the boy who made all the wrong choices can make one right one at last.Expect a medium-burn Dramione threaded with rich magical lore, new twists on familiar canon, alternating POV, explicit consent, and the slow stitching of hurt into comfort.
