    Summary

    Hermione must scramble to survive when, at twenty-six, she finds herself in 1953 due to an ill-fated run in with an egg timer. Lucky for her, there's a shop hiring in Knockturn Alley where her skills shine. However, what brings her some security in starting a new life also brings with it the obsessive attention of her new coworker, his followers, and the society she hopes to destroy.

    Being the type of witch who can't help but attract attention, it doesn't take long for Hermione to find herself in the midst of pureblood society in post-war Britain, right as Tom Riddle is deciding how, exactly, he plans to pursue his magical domination. He's felt a bit stagnant the last few years, and had thought of traveling east soon, but ever since she showed up at Borgin and Burke's, Tom's plans have all twisted to somehow require her presence by his side. The only problem? Hermione has rules of her own, and she's an infamous stickler for those.
