Hermione Granger and the Paradigm Shift (Harry/Hermione).
This chapter has the best alternate take on Trelawny's prophecy I've ever seen in a Potter fic. Even if you don't read the rest of the fic, the last quarter of this chapter is still worth reading just to see Hermione's take on the prophecy.

From Aesir To Yggdrasil: A Norse Primer Wrote:Yule: Traditional term for the Norse holidays marking the beginning of the Winter season, as well as to the general early winter months. The holy days proper begin with the Winter Solstice in late December and run for a period of one week in total, although preparations and lead-up activities occupy many of the weeks beforehand. During the Yule-time, numerous feasts, sacred meals, and sacrifices are made in the hope of a good harvest in the following year. Of primary focus are the deities Frigga, Freyja, and Freyr, with some traditions also paying homage to Sif. These gods, in their roles of fertility, growth, and prosperity, are petitioned for their aid, and in the cases of Frigga and Freyja, for intercession with their husband Odin as he rides at the head of the Wild Hunt. It is specifically noted that one does not invoke Odin during Yule, for fear of drawing the attention of him and his hunting party.
The Yule traditions are rich in symbolism, with ham and boar served for Freyr and Freyja's honor, an entire log burned for Frigga's hearth and hanging mistletoe in remembrance of her son Baldr, and a straw goat for Sif and her husband Thor, among others, including traditions which honor specific Valkyries. All in all, the holy days are a bright, festive time, a celebration of light and life in the midst of the darkest winter…
Near Inbhir Aora, Toiréasa sees a side of Dagur she wasn't expecting and starts to reevaluate other things she's sees. Down in Constantinople, at Sigurd and Sophia's wedding, Inga realizes she misses the Bog and thinks about what she'll have to do if she's going to go back there some day. In the Chief's Hut on Berk, Hiccup enjoys a cozy Yule with his family. Down in Cors Fochno, Bog tempers are breaking, and Cami sees that what she's been worrying about is upon them. Back on Berk, Ruffnut goes out pranking with her twin, but she finds it's more of an exertion than it used to be. Back at the Clan Murchadh stronghold, Toiréasa watches the Berserkers' enjoyments through new eyes, eyes widened further by what she sees in Dagur's eyes. Down in Anatolia, Sophia gets carried over
Lake Attaia to her new home. After the party breaks up in Inbhir Aora, Toiréasa gets some answers out of Dagur. And we close on Berk, this time in the healer's hut, where Hiccup, in to have his gammy leg checked up, finds time to make a medical innovation for a fellow patient, and gets to be there when a third patient arrives...

Apologies for the delay on this one I got a little morose after how the last one did and just procrastinated on publishing this. Also, a few games came out I've been looking forward to so that took up sometime. Would recommend Wasteland 3 on an unrelated note, BTW.
