Choosing Grey by ⁠betagyre -- Chapters 1-10

Hermione has always been a warrior for the Light. But when an attempt to salvage more than a Pyrrhic victory lands her in 1944, she quickly realizes that sometimes it is best to allow a lesser evil to flourish, because defeating it only creates the conditions for a greater one to rise. With conspiracies, schemes, and difficult choices in every corner, and a charismatic young Tom Riddle who is increasingly interested in her, she will eventually have to answer the question: How much darkness and grey in him can she accept?This will not be just a school story. In fact, the primary plot will be heavy on political intrigue, with school stuff as minor subplots.Published: 2015-11-01 Completed: 2016-02-05 Words: 124,482 Chapters: 26/26
