Magical Methods
This collection has been created to gather Harry Potter fics that really delve into the mechanics of magic. This can be from the author(s) giving more background into canonical magic, creating their own, going into detail about Magic as a sentient force, expounding on creature culture, etc. The possibilities are literally endless because MAGIC! All pairings and ratings are welcome, though my personal finds will skew toward Hermione-centric.

Summary
Harry
One minute I'm in Malfoy Manor, the next I'm being yelled at for dying.
Again
Apparently I'm rather good at it. Honestly, it's not that shocking. How am I supposed to stay alive when it's three against an army and we're working off of faulty information? When Mortimer said he was sending me back again, my first response was anger. Yet another Old Man making decisions for my life.
Until I saw the headful of riotous curls on the other side of Death's hallway.
I don't care what they do to me, but they fucked up when the killed Hermione. The next time I die, I'm taking Riddle and all his minions with me.

Summary
Hermione has been looking forward to attending Hogwarts as a student ever since she first heard of it. Being separated from her god, however, is intimidating. At least her Hogwarts years are filled with the sort of chaos that "Loki" loves (though Gabriel really would prefer it if she managed to stay out of danger more often. And he really does not like this 'Voldemort' character. Those twins are alright, at least, even though they're a bit too fond of his priestess for his liking).

Summary
Hermione Granger thought that she could not possibly be surprised by anything anymore, but Theodore Nott arriving at the safe house with a perilous, last-ditch solution to the nearly-lost war against Voldemort isn't even the most unbelievable thing. The most unbelievable thing is that Theo is supposed to be dead.
**
The Order is losing the War. Most are dead and the ones remaining are sure to follow. Theodore Nott has a solution. Give up everything to win it all back. It's simply not the Slytherin way to run head-first at a problem, and Hermione is ready to try anything. His solution? A bit more cunning. It's one thing to run straight at the King and hope for the best, but perhaps the solution is to get rid of the pawns- one by one- first.
March 31, 2026: NOT ABANDONED! Going back through to re-edit, hopefully writing/publishing new chapters soon

Summary
Born to Fenrir and his late wife, Hermione is the next in line to be alpha someday. When that time comes, her adopted brother Harry will take his place as her beta. For now though, they just have to survive trying to go to school and being accepted into a world that is not a fan of wolves… And that has some very weird pre-conceived notions about their dad.
After accidentally claiming the lordship of the house of Black, Hermione finds she has adult responsibilities to worry about, more family than she realized, and a bigger voice in society than she could have imagined. With a burgeoning goblin rebellion on the way and a lot of secrets to keep, will she be able to use her new social capital to actually make things better for nonhumans in the wizarding world, or will wizarding Britain refuse to ever listen to a werewolf?
