Summary
To the Death Eaters, she is nothing but a pawn.
To Theodore Nott, she is something far more dangerous: a complication in a game he was born to win.
But in chess, pawns can become queens - and queens can cost you everything.(Please mind the tags.)
A Note from the Author:
Each chapter in this story takes its name from a chess strategy. The move defines not only the board, but the story itself.
Every piece you meet — the pawn, the bishop, the queen — carries its own burden of power, sacrifice and consequence.Huge thanks to my beta and partner in crime for this story:

Summary
Theodore Atlas Nott knew he was destined to die young. That was… fine… he supposed.
To be fair, he’d seen death… a lot of death. His mother died before his eyes when he was just a wee lad, murdered by his own father no less. His favorite house elf was beheaded shortly thereafter. What fuckery, what trauma. Mind healers would have so much fun with him. He knew, one day, Thoros Nott would kill him too. So what was the point? Why send him off to school? Why not just end it all?
Death seemed more peaceful than being the Nott heir.
But shortly after boarding the Hogwarts Express he saw a golden-eyed siren, bountiful, wild curls flowing down her back and sun kissed, freckled skin. He watched from his compartment, heart hammering in his chest as she stood at the snack trolly. Something the lump of a boy beside her stammered made her laugh. It rang like a bell. There was so much.. so much… LIFE in it. He wanted to bask in her glow. He wanted to take that small ray of sunshine and protect it.. keep that fire burning. And at that moment, he knew he had something to live for.This is a non canon rewrite from 4th year and after the war. Multiple POV.
We’re gonna suffer.. but we’ll be happy about it.Bookmarked by Reading_Jams

Summary
After the battle in the Department of Mysteries, Hermione Granger has changed.
A potion from Professor Snape begins a quiet unravelling, triggering dreams, magic, and revelations that challenge everything she thought she knew. As prophecy circles her name and unexpected truths come to light, the possibility arises that her fate may be bound—by blood or by magic—to Bellatrix Lestrange and Lord Voldemort himself.
In the shadow of war and rising uncertainty, Hermione finds herself at the centre of a web woven long before her birth. Friendships fracture, deepen, and transform. New alliances form in secrecy. And somewhere in the dark, family long lost begins to stir.
A myth-laced Harry Potter AU exploring hidden identity, unbreakable bonds, and the slow, terrifying power of legacy.

Summary
Before he was Voldemort, before he was evil incarnate, Tom Riddle was a lonely young man. Hermione had always been told that her heart was too big.
OR: Another wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey travel fic, in which Hermione is transported into the year 1944 with a school-age Tom Riddle.
