  Summary

  Ron Weasley survived a war, only to die before he ever truly got to live.

  The wizarding world mourns a hero - but Hermione Granger mourns something far more complicated. Grief weighs heavy. So does the past. And when long-buried truths begin to surface, everything Hermione thought she'd buried with Ron starts to unravel.

  Then, by chance, she runs into Draco Malfoy - older, quieter, no longer the boy she once knew.

  What begins as an unexpected encounter becomes something else entirely: a tether in the chaos. A flicker of understanding in a world full of judgment.
