   Summary

   Hermione Granger did her duty. She finished Hogwarts, she tracked down her parents, and she spent a year healing the cracks in her family. But when she steps back into the Wizarding World, the war-torn London she left behind has transformed into something unrecognizable.

   This transition is made even more dizzying by Draco Malfoy, who has traded his sneers for soft smiles and a permanent seat at her friends' table.

   Draco on the other hand, is fighting a different battle. Having harbored a secret crush on Hermione for years, he finally has her in his life — only to find himself trapped in the one place he never expected: the friend zone.
