    Summary

    Michaela Stirling returns from four years in India to find the life she fled exactly where she left it, John's ghost in every corridor, and Francesca at the top of the stairs.

    She had told herself the distance had taught her restraint. That she could stand in the same room as Francesca Bridgerton and call herself only a friend. That four years and an ocean were enough to make loving someone bearable.

    She had been wrong on all counts.

    Or

    michaela and francesca spend several chapters inventing new ways to avoid admitting the obvious.

    Summary

    “What’s stopping me from telling everyone that their precious Golden Girl howls at the moon?”

    The corner of Bellatrix’s lips quirked. How dare she find this amusing. Hermione would be ruined. It wasn’t shameful, per se, but it was her private information that could potentially be used against her. Like now. And she’d already been bullied for it before; they’d used silver knuckles. Thankfully the wizards involved had been expelled, because Hermione had been in the Hospital Wing for weeks. She shuddered just thinking about it.

    “I’ll do whatever you want!” She blurted. Oh, shit. She had not thought that through. At all. Now she had to face the consequences.

    Hopefully Bellatrix would not take interest.

    “Oh?”

    Dammit.

    Summary

    “Bollocks…” Hermione mutters under her breath. And it is— bollocks, that is. The whole thing. She stares at the cover of the Daily Prophet with a blank expression— watching Black’s picture as she walks up the steps into the Great Hall of Hogwarts and embraces Professor McGonagall as if they are old friends. They were, she supposes, before the war. Now, seeing Minerva embrace the monster who had tortured her on the Malfoy’s parlor floor causes Hermione nothing but pain and confusion. Her eyes sting with tears of betrayal.
