Summary

In the wake of the Dark Lord’s triumph over Harry Potter, the defeated must learn their new place. Hermione Granger, former Golden Girl, has been captured and reduced to human chattel. Sold to the highest bidder as the top prize at an auction of Order members and sympathizers, she is thrust into the rabid, waiting hands of the Death Eaters. But despite the horrors of Voldemort’s new world, help—and hope—seem to arise from the most unlikely of places.

PART 3 of the RIGHTS AND WRONGS series.

Notes

THE AUCTION is a dark, Voldemort Wins AU, with moments of non-con and violence. I will do my best to include content warnings for chapters that have specific concerns. This is the third story in the Rights and Wrongs series. While I think The Auction can be read independently, I would not recommend it.

This is my first multichapter story with Betas! Though they are more like Alphas to this lonely little omega. Huge thanks to SaintDionysus and raven_maiden . Much love to NikitaJobson who made the art for this fic months ago out of the kindness of her talented heart.

And lastly, thank you to those who have been following me for years now, begging for an Auction fic. It's because of you that this exists.

***NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR AS OF 2023***

I am aware that by nature of my published work and the media that entails, many curious readers who are unfamiliar with fanfiction or fandom may encounter this work. A strong note of caution:

The Auction was written for a niche, adult audience in a fandom whose members are well aware of dark and triggering material, and are able to protect their mental health accordingly by way of a comprehensive tagging system.

Please do not read this work if you are uncomfortable with themes of violence, human trafficking, slavery, misogyny, sexual assault, homophobia, and bigotry within the context of a cruel and dystopian authoritarian government. This fiction takes these subjects seriously, and you will find historic references throughout—but ultimately, The Auction at its heart is a love story and coming of age story told through the eyes of a teenager whose worldview is slowly shattered before it can be pieced back together.
