Summary
"Draco pulled himself up, holding his bloody palm to his face, and frowned, staring at the couple in front of him with gray eyes full of pain. His friend was stroking the Gryffindor's back, soothing her sobs, and staring intently at Malfoy, as if he wanted to make sure he wouldn't pounce, wouldn't respond".
The story of a generation that faced war too early and came close to death, learning to live again in peacetime. A tale of how the crystalline castles of 'normality' crumble. A story of love, hate, friendship, and difficult choices."
Dedicated To Those Who Keep Delaying Their Lives. The Future Does Not Exist.

Summary
She had seen more bodies than she had seen death - but that day was a blur. Harry Potter was dead. He must have been - he must have been dead, otherwise she wouldn’t be there. Not for as long as she was. Never for that long.
------------
In an alternate universe where Voldemort has defeated the Order, Muggle-borns are assigned to a lifetime of servitude to Pureblood families while blood traitors are sent to "re-education" facilities to be "brought to the light". When Hermione Granger is assigned to the Malfoy family, her spirit is broken in a way that she never imagined it could be. The world would never be same - because Harry Potter was dead.
Or was he?
------------
A story inspired by 'Manacled' by SenLinYu, 'The Auction' by LovesBitca8, and other amazing stories which continue to inspire this incredible fandom and community.

Summary
The war ends, but the good side is defeated. In recognition of their services, Voldemort gives his loyal Death Eaters some of the surviving wizards and witches from Harry's side as slaves. And so Hermione finds herself in the hands of the Malfoy family, alone, without her wand, with no hope that light will ever triumph.
But Hermione would not be Hermione if she were to give up so easily. She defies the cruel games Draco plays with her, defies his father and survives the violence she experiences through Severus Snape of all people. As long as she lives, there is hope, for she knows that one must never say never.
