   Summary

   Draco froze as words floated into his mind, ringing out in Granger’s soft, clear tone—words spoken to him in a dark closet, where no one else could hear.

   “I don’t think you deserve to die for being born into your family… just as I don’t deserve to die for being born into mine.”

    

   At the start of sixth year, Hermione Granger knows something is wrong with Draco Malfoy, and she’s determined to learn the truth. She finds herself entangled in a web of secrets, responsibilities, and an alliance she never expected. As they navigate their connection, Hermione and Draco uncover unexpected commonalities and learn that destiny is never set in stone.
