Summary
After the war, Hermione Granger walks away from the wizarding world, seeking a new life at St. Emrys University, where magic is nothing but a memory. She is determined to move forward—until she sees Draco Malfoy.
Except he isn’t Draco Malfoy anymore.
His name is Daniel Lucas Marchand. His past has been (temporarily) erased. He doesn’t recognize her. And by all appearances, he is just another ambitious law student thriving in the Muggle world.
But Hermione remembers. And no matter how much she tries to avoid him, their paths keep crossing.
What begins as resentment and avoidance soon becomes something far more complicated as Daniel—sharp, observant, and entirely unaware of who he truly is—notices that Hermione is hiding something.
And some truths refuse to stay buried.

Summary
"No, no, no, NOOO!!!" he whispered, a desperate, frantic sound. "Please, no."
His eyes scanned the floor. A glint of gold caught his attention, a bright spot against the gloom. There, lying on the stone, was his time turner. He practically threw himself at it, his hands trembling. The Time-Turner, a delicate, ornate thing with the words "Don't break this, Scorpius" engraved on the side, was shattered. The intricate hourglass was cracked, its sand spilled out onto the floor like a trail of liquid gold. The chain was snapped in two. It was worthless. And with it, now he is stuck in an unknown time.
Every choice has a price, and every move is a gamble. Can Scorpius outwit destiny, or will time come calling for its debt? Join him as he juggles parenting his own father, playing matchmaker for his parents, and trying to tiptoe through history without causing a tidal wave. After all, not every battle is fought with wands; some are won on the chessboard.

Summary
Harry Potter is sick of losing at chess, and at watching Ron gloat about it.
Draco Malfoy, of all people, offers to teach him strategy.
What starts as lessons over a chessboard turns into something Harry never expected: banter, grudging respect, and maybe even desire.
Because sometimes the winning move isn’t on the board at all.

Summary
"Can you see them, Malfoy?"
His eyes had spent the past minutes staring at her. Her hair trickling down her angular back, her dimples dripping around her smile, eyes shining like stars. His hand tentatively reached for her hand. He wished to print this moment, to read it like his potion's textbook. To drink her, in any way he could imagine. Her lip came under her teeth. His eyes caught it. And just for a second, as if he couldn't control it, his breath hitched. She looked towards him once more, smiling, as he expected. He amused her, finally angling towards the fireflies trickling across the lake.
"Yes, Vienna. It's beautiful."
or in other words
Vienna Dawson and Draco Malfoy find themselves beside one another after disaster seems to keep sending them into each other's arms. And yes, there's chess involved.
