    Summary

    The trio's search for the Horcruxes was abandoned when Griphook absconded with the Sword of Gryffindor, leaving the three – traumatised and disheartened – to return to join the rest of the Order in the ongoing brutal war against Voldemort. Several months later a maimed, disillusioned, and broken Draco surrenders himself to the Order after his failures earn him Voldemort's displeasure, and Hermione finds herself the warder of the prisoner in the cellar.

    The Risk'verse Quartet is an epic, coming-of-age wartime series that follows Hermione, Draco, and the Order of the Phoenix throughout an extended war, and then onward into the aftermath. It's a realism-focused character and relationship study, with dual POV, angst and hurt/comfort, slow emotional burn w/ glacial physical burn, bickering & banter, a secret relationship, Classical Latin as a love language, violence and gore, coping with broken families, and how the brutal toll of war and trauma changes people.

    But at the heart of it all, it's about a love that eclipses everything else.

    Summary

    Hermione is far too fond of cake and all but attached to Harry at the hip. Generally, it's working out for her, but lately Draco has been annoying her to death by mocking her weight and her relationship with Harry. One day she spots some logic in his claims that she and Harry ought to be more than friends. Uncertain how to proceed, she agrees when Draco volunteers to help. This turns out to get very confusing very fast, as Hermione finds herself becoming attracted to the wrong person...

    Summary

    He knows he shouldn’t. He knows there is a chance she’ll figure it out, that she’ll decode his secret messages. A small part of himself that he despises hopes she does.
    Another part of him is terrified to imagine the consequences if she does.
    The largest part of him, however, is willing to risk it. He doesn’t think she’ll read anything more into it other than his affection and his reminders that he’s always there with her, and always will be. She’s smart, his Queen, but intelligence is nothing without knowledge in this case, and he’s fairly sure she will not learn this in her studies.
    He also can’t help himself.
