Summary
After the war, Hermione Granger disappeared from headlines and into the quiet life everyone expected her to want. But behind closed doors, things were unraveling. The boy she once trusted, Ron Weasley, never truly came back from the war. And the man he became was cruel, volatile… and dangerous.
When the bruises get too dark and her wand lies broken, Hermione runs, without a plan, without protection, and with only one name echoing in her memory.
Draco Malfoy.
Years ago, in the rubble of a ruined castle, he made her a promise: “If you ever need me… you’ll have access to wherever I am. No questions asked.”
She never thought she’d need to use it.
Now, drenched in rain and wrapped in silence, Hermione walks into the empire Draco built and back into the life of the man she thought she’d never see again. But he sees too much. And he’s not about to let her walk back out.
Not when she’s finally here.
Not when someone’s hurt her.
And not when the woman he never stopped watching over just whispered, “I didn’t know where else to go.”Bookmarked by shadowwalker620

Summary
“Mother... if I were... In the event that one found oneself... shall we say interested in interacting with someone who was not normally included in our social circles, would that... would one find oneself quite dismissed from the family, do you suppose?”
The first wizarding war didn't end. It just changed tactics.
Hidden in bureaucracy, buried in laws, and baked into bloodlines, wizarding society is still divided into those who belong, and those who don't. But Hermione Granger has never backed down from a challenge, and she's never wanted anything more than to belong.
Not every war is fought with battles and curses. Some are fought with hushed conversations, careful compromises, and a revolution that begins in a library.
[This story begins in third year and updates Sundays and Tuesdays.]
