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
A loud groan escaped his lips and he turned back to his corner and started lightly banging his head against the wall repeatedly. 'You stupid, stupid, stupid ...
Hermione scowled at him. 'Excuse me?!' She hissed.
Draco sighed and braced his hand against the cold white walls. 'You stupid girl. I decided that you and your dimwitted friends were taking too long to end the war and that too much bloodshed had taken place to not be able to justify fixing the problem at its core.'
His words floated through her mind, failing to take hold.
Draco gave a frustrated sigh. 'I killed Tom.'

Summary
When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for a mandatory Eighth Year, she is grateful for the pause — a chance to recover from the war and the nightmares that still plague her. Determined to find happiness and enjoy her final year, Hermione expects healing to be quiet. But of course it isn’t. This is Hogwarts. A small group of Slytherins approach her in confidence, asking her to help Draco Malfoy before it’s too late. Hermione is forced to make a choice — one that pulls her back into old tensions, dangerous secrets, and the unsettling realization that some of the most brutal battles are fought inside one’s mind.
