Inspired by Once More, with Feeling, which I love, by the very talented @wetpretzel, who brought many smiles to my face both thanks to and despite Hermione's immense obliviousness.
Also couldn't resist posting at least one of the notes on the desk pre-perspective-tilt!
After a bit of an art slump these past few months, medieval Dramione was an absolute delight to work on as a gift for one of the amazing binders who bound copies of Escape from Malfoy Manor for all us lucky writers and artists on the dream/scream team!
(Inspired by a painting of Tristan and Iseult by Sidney Harold Meteyard)
Beyond delighted with this Escape from Malfoy Manor bind by the lovely and talented ThornedHuntress, thank you!!! It was already such an honor to have collaborated with the rest of the brilliant, hilarious, and slightly depraved people behind this fic, and then to have this book be a real thing that lives in my home now is just unreal in the very best way. 🥹💕

Chapter excerpt:
Hermione caught her fingers around the dangling latch and pulled. With a cough of dusty air, a sturdy step ladder unfolded. Hermione gripped the wood side rails and ascended into the manor’s attic.
The room’s only light came from a galley window at its far end. It looked big enough to squeeze through, though she wasn’t above using a Reducto for remodeling purposes.
She lit her wand and started towards it, only realizing three steps in what surrounded her.
Dolls.
-----------
It's officially spooky season! Bonus points if you catch the horror movie reference. @efinna gave herself nightmares while working on this.

Chapter excerpt:
Drawn by the noise of their brethren, many of the swans swam over to Nagini, sodden wings extended, bony necks and sharp beaks extended in vengeance.
Others, apparently remembering their creation at the hands of man, turned their white, sightless eyes onto Draco.
Hermione took aim, blasting one apart with a quiet, “Diffindo,” and a whispered apology. “I’ll take care of the swans,” she said, glancing back at Draco. And the snake. “Are you okay?”
Both of Draco’s arms were raised. In one hand, he held his wand like a conductor’s baton. He held his other hand open, his palm facing the mass of corpses. White eyes, shining in the growing darkness like those of a nocturnal predator, stared unblinking at him. An Inferi army, swaying in the sunset, patiently awaiting orders.
“I’ve got it,” he said, though his voice was pitched high in uncertainty. “I’ll lead them down the path and meet you back here in a few minutes.”
“Sounds good,” she answered, silently demolishing another swan. “I have a snake to kill.”
Hermione sprinted along the pond’s edge. She pulled her beaded bag from thin air and tore at the drawstring opening. Plunging her arm in up to her shoulder, she felt around for the sword’s hilt. No sooner had she wished for it than did the warm metal slide into her palm.
The Sword of Gryffindor.
With a victorious bellow, Hermione pulled it from the bag, brandished it high, and...
Will she succeed?
Only YOU can decide if Hermione escapes from Malfoy Manor, this Halloween!

Sharpen your swords...
Counting down the days!!! Get ready spooky internet pals!!!
Chapter excerpt:
Malfoy closed and locked the doors behind her. “Alright, Granger.” He motioned to the room full of books, papers, magical items, and heavy mahogany furniture. “My father’s study is at your disposal. What do you think you’re going to find here?”
She eyed him suspiciously. “What’s the trick?”
He raised an eyebrow. “You don’t trust me anymore?” A snow globe on a shelf to her side. She wanted to hurl it at him. “Best hurry, Granger.”
The prat was right. Curling her fingers into a fist, she scanned the shelved books, family portraits, and numerous other magical objects, none of which interested her. The dark wooden desk stacked with parchments, quills, and ink did.
She rushed over, but Draco held up an arm, halting her. “You’ll set off the alarms.”
“Then remove them.”
“I can’t. Even if I had my fucking wand.”
She narrowed her eyes. Was he lying? Did Lucius truly not trust his son? Malfoy had already implied as much.
“What else is warded?”
“Just his desk.”
Despite his antagonism, Malfoy was on edge, tapping his fingers against his thigh. She supposed that, despite the gala preparations, his father could walk in at any minute. Hermione cast her green detection spell, dismayed when it detected over eighty magical items. Seventy of them could be relevant. And one of them was…
“A Portkey!”
She spun around and raced to grab the small tobacco box.
“Granger, wait!”
She stopped, caught by the panic in his tone, and took in his Malfoy’s worried expression and outstretched arm.
“What’s wrong? We don’t have to use it now.”

From the deranged minds of @bek48, @efinna, @goodnight-fraublucher, Kinder Blucher, @mysteriouscatstellation, @misdemeanor1331, @mistresslynndramione and @photonzeroinfinity comes the Choose Your Own Adventure…
Escape From Malfoy Manor!
Summary: Hermione wakes up in a prison cell with no memory of how she arrived. How did she get there? How can she get out? Is there a traitor? Will she survive?
The answers lie with YOU, THE READER, as you decide Hermione’s actions to help her to escape!
Tags: Dramione War AU, rated E for graphic violence and explicit sexual content, DEAD DOVE DO NOT EAT.
Waaaaaaaaaaaait! Is this a HEA?!?
It totally is! But only if you choose wisely.
But you said Dead Dove – doesn’t that mean MCD??????
In this case, yes! If you choose poorly, your favorite romantic leads can die in over 30 delightfully gruesome ways!
The fantastic art by @goodnight-fraublucher and Kinder Blucher (yes! her talented kid made fanart for this!) is not necessarily a spoiler for the story.
…or maybe it is.
We’ll be dropping the entire fic on October 31.

By the time he was ready to say sorry, she had almost given up on ever hearing it.
Can I offer you a nice Dramione family in this trying time?
A ferret and a swot walk into the woods.
