Summary
“You think that your own pain is so large and unique that you can’t see anything past it. But you can’t keep acting like I’m the villain for trying to help you live through it. You didn’t deserve Azkaban, Draco. You didn’t deserve to be a pawn in a hate groups' crusade. But I didn’t deserve to be tortured in your home, then have to live with the man who watched it happen, berating me as if I’m the one who should apologise because I didn’t break in the same way you did.”
Draco Malfoy is found alive in Azkaban after five years, near death. He is traumatised, unstable, furious at the world, and drowning in the ghosts of his torture. Hermione Granger, now in charge of the Deradicalisation and Reintegration department of the Ministry, discovers something she shouldn't have. Malfoy was never tried, never convicted and does not seem to exist on record.
Tasked with facilitating the rehabilitation of someone who hates her back into society at the expense of her own personal life falling apart, it quickly becomes clear to Hermione that someone had never intended for him to escape.
A tale of two deeply flawed, deeply sad individuals and the pain that binds them together. This is not a happy story.
