Summary
“The worst isn’t what I hear,” he said. “Not usually. It’s the contradiction. The grief tucked under rage. The affection laced through resentment. People think things they never say. They feel things they never act on. And half the time, they don’t even know it. But I do. I hear all of it.”
His voice dropped. “And it doesn’t make me hate them, Granger. It makes me ache for them. Because everyone—everyone—is fighting a war inside their own head.”
She didn’t speak. Didn’t need to.
“I didn’t switch sides because I realized the Death Eaters were evil,” he went on. “I switched because I realized they weren’t different. Just louder. Angrier. More broken. And I couldn’t keep pretending we weren’t all tangled up in the same mess.”
Draco has a secret, and it’s not just that he’s a spy for the Order. When Hermione is assigned as his interim handler, she intends to remind him that trust is earned, not freely given. But instead, she is faced with the reality that trust and truth are not so black and white.
This is a story about who we truly are—neither our actions nor our thoughts, just humans trying to find our way. And sometimes we find each other along the way.

Summary
How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger.
The monotony of Draco’s daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence.
Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can’t find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why are morning meetings with Draco Malfoy the only thing that make sense anymore?Series
