    Summary


    "All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
    (From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)

    This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

    Summary

    THE ONLY WAY OUT IS THROUGH

    Starting in 8th year, Draco and Hermione return to Hogwarts. Hermione is burnt out from the war. She’s spent the last year doing and thinking about as little as possible- except Draco Malfoy. She thought about him a lot.

    After his trial, Draco had sent her a 5 page letter, in neat bullet points, listing out all of his apologies and regrets. Now, they’re back at Hogwarts and paired up as potions partners.

    A tentative friendship forms, and eventually grows into love. But the decisions they made in the war, and the things they've left unhealed will come back to them, as the pain of new grief becomes too great to bear.

    Over the following years, they’ll go on healing journeys, finding love in all of its forms- love from friends, mothers love, unexpected love, love that isn’t quite right…and of course, love that will last forever.

    This story is an emotional rollercoaster coaster- I'm warning you and I apologize in advance if I make you cry- lord knows I sure did! But it is HEA, and whatever I broke, I made sure to fix! hang in there and enjoy :-)
