Summary
Hermione Granger never expected the strange book in Ginny’s hands at Flourish and Blotts to write back, let alone with the voice of a brilliant, devastatingly charming boy who seemed to understand her in ways no one else ever had. Tom Riddle never expected to wake in darkness, tethered to a girl whose ink fed him magic, whose mind fascinated him, and whose heart might just be his undoing.
As their bond deepens across years of stolen diary entries, Hermione begins to uncover a terrible truth. She is falling for the ghost of a monster. And when time itself becomes their enemy, she is forced to gamble everything. Steal McGonagall's Time Turner, prevent the creation of his Horcruxes, and love him before he becomes the Dark Lord. But the real Tom Riddle is not the boy in the diary, and some shadows cling harder than ink.

Summary
When a form of ancient, near-forgotten magic saves her from meeting her tragic destiny, Hermione Granger finds herself navigating the forties with one goal in mind: to definitely destroy the cause of her ills once and for all. But when strange, fragmented memories, soaked in old magic, let her glimpse a lost, unreachable past, things turn out to be more complex than she initially thought. The closer she gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to carry out the one thing she came to do.
A/N: You don’t need to know anything about Hogwarts Legacy to enjoy this story. All essential elements are explained within the fic. Readers familiar with the game may notice a few subtle references sprinkled throughout. Not required, but fun to spot.

Summary
Hermione must scramble to survive when, at twenty-six, she finds herself in 1953 due to an ill-fated run in with an egg timer. Lucky for her, there's a shop hiring in Knockturn Alley where her skills shine. However, what brings her some security in starting a new life also brings with it the obsessive attention of her new coworker, his followers, and the society she hopes to destroy.
Being the type of witch who can't help but attract attention, it doesn't take long for Hermione to find herself in the midst of pureblood society in post-war Britain, right as Tom Riddle is deciding how, exactly, he plans to pursue his magical domination. He's felt a bit stagnant the last few years, and had thought of traveling east soon, but ever since she showed up at Borgin and Burke's, Tom's plans have all twisted to somehow require her presence by his side. The only problem? Hermione has rules of her own, and she's an infamous stickler for those.

Summary
Hermione Granger has found herself stranded in the 1960s. Her plan was simple: don’t interfere, don’t change the timeline, and stay out of trouble. She intended to make the most of her unexpected exile, immersing herself in the pursuit of knowledge without the distractions of war or expectation. One thing, however, had most certainly not been part of the plan: catching the attention of none other than Lord Voldemort — at the height of his power.
