Peripety by BiscuitsCaramel -- Chapters 15-21

Eighth Year at Hogwarts was supposed to mean healing—not a new DADA professor whose brilliance cuts like a blade. Hermione Granger trades barbs with the dangerously compelling Tom Riddle (under an alias), while Draco Malfoy shadows her steps with unexpected concern. As secret lessons and tighter corridors braid into obsession, a slow-burn tangle of loyalties, power, and desire drags Hermione toward choices that could rewrite more than her future.Rating: ExplicitArchive Warning: Graphic Depictions of ViolenceCategory: F/MFandom: Harry Potter – J.
