   Summary

   In an alternate universe where Hogwarts is a university, Hermione Granger arrives overprepared, underestimated, and quietly furious. Sorted into Slytherin, she discovers that the castle is not a school so much as a board, and that the Dark Arts are a language.

   As war gathers and Dumbledore urges patience, she begins building a theory of victory that does not ask the young to die well for old men’s plans. The world may need Harry Potter to be its hero. Hermione intends to decide what that hero wins.
