Summary
Hermione Granger is having the worst year of her adult life. And she lived through a war. She's drowning at work, Ron has a new girlfriend (the bastard), and as Christmas nears the last thing she wants to do is handle awkward conversation with her parents, or the Weasleys. Her solution? A solo Christmas holiday in a remote Scottish cottage. Two weeks of peace, wine, reading, and Crookshanks.
Draco Malfoy has spent years hiding from the world in Malfoy Manor nursing his guilt. His one escape? An annual two-week retreat to a cottage in the Scottish Highlands.
Except this year when he arrives, Hermione Granger is already there.
A booking mix-up. A snowstorm. One cottage. Two people who haven't spoken for a decade. Oh, and Crookshanks.
This is going to be the longest Christmas of their lives.
This is an advent calendar fic for December 2025. 24 glorious chapters, one chapter posted each day. Dive in, and enjoy!
