Hmm, I can see Hermione going to Ravenclaw in this AU, as she knows Harry won't be there, and he's a friend now, she won't be trying to be in his house, and if she gets into Raven house, then she most likely won't have near the problems with Ron and the Slytherins as she would in Griff house. Will be fun to see what happens when Albus is expecting Harry to show up, and then tries to pull the card of him listing him in Hogwarts rolls, even though he only assumed, not actually saw the letter. Lemons are fine if tastefully done, but fade to black is no problem for me either, so go with what you feel comfortable with in the end.
