    Summary

    During the Battle at the Ministry of Magic, Hermione is killed. But the end is not always the end. Perhaps it sometimes places you back at your beginnings, or nudges you along to beyond the final moments. But sometimes, it tears out the pages of the book and starts anew. Sometimes it thrusts you into a new life, with a new family and friends, with no memories of the last. Perhaps, though, that was always what you were meant to be.

    "Then suddenly, the floating stopped. Hermione started to fall-quickly. She flailed her arms around to try to slow her rapid descent, grabbing for her wand, for something to hold onto but there was nothing, which was just as frightening as the fall itself. Then, just as suddenly as the fall had started, it stopped, and her eyes flew open to the sound of a girl's laughter."

    Summary

    If only life was as simple as those children stories where everything would conclude with a line of 'Happily Ever After' after the villain had been defeated. Hermione found out that life after the war wasn’t like what she had planned and on top of it, she had to navigate life as an adult through her grief.

    Tragedy changed people, bonds were tested and new threat appeared. Meanwhile, she would learn to see things beyond what it seemed.

    ---***---

    Another time, another life, they made promise to be together. Bound to duty and destiny to fulfill, chance had them meet. And even only for a short moment, they’d find a way to reach each other.
