    Summary

    “Rise, Gimli Gloínsson, son of my kin, to tell me on your feet whom you have lost.” It was an order more than a request, and he could see the reluctance when Gimli took his hand to struggle to his feet. His tunic and armour sat too loose on him. Dark circles like half-moon ink stamps were pressed underneath his eyes, he carried the stink of foul eggs, smoke, old sweat and blood all the others carried around like a shroud. The imprint of Mordor on their bodies and souls. But when Gimli really looked at glittering Erebor standing strong after everything, at the people holding their breath, his gaze stuttered on Dwalin standing silently somewhere forever to Thorin’s back-left. Gimli closed his eyes and exhaled like one condemned before decapitation.
    “All of them, my King. We have lost all of them.”

    //

    Coming home to Erebor after the war, Gimli goes through the torturous ordeal of telling his King and his people what he has found in Khazad-dûm.

    Summary

    Hermione Granger does not make mistakes, at least not often. After making the biggest, dumbest, most horrible mistake of her life, Hermione must deal with the repercussions while keeping her relationship with her Auror partner, Draco Malfoy, strictly professional. He, of course, has other plans.

    Amidst a resurgence in Death Eater activity, the likes of which Britain hasn’t seen since the First Wizarding War, Hermione will come to realize that the mistake she’s made with Draco might not be so bad at all. It just might be the best mistake.

    After returning from an 18-month assignment with the Department of Mysteries, Hermione discovers that her old life in England has changed. Her motley of friends has expanded, and even Draco Malfoy is accepted. And to her profound dismay, the Unspeakable realises that she may need to accept her old bully as well, because the Ministry has assigned Auror Malfoy to her next case—a time-travelling quest to find the lost cure for memory ailments. As the unlikely pair embark on their task, they unravel mysteries and face historical fiends they never expected. And as Hermione grows fonder of the man she never wanted to forgive, she discovers the secret that he’s kept locked away…a secret that makes their task all the more consequential. But can time heal all wounds, or will it break an already damaged heart?
