    Summary

    The war is over, and Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger both returned to school for their eighth year. The struggle to recover from the war is universal, but both of them have lost more than most. Their identities, for one. The youngest Death Eater has a lot to atone for in the aftermath, and the Golden Girl needs to figure out who she is without a cause to fight for. They’re both more than a little lost.

    On the night of Samhain during an autumn storm, Draco follows Hermione into the Forbidden Forest and discovers that she's just as desperate as he is. They get rain-soaked and touched by fire and yew as they come together to start finding their way back to themselves.

     

    Written for the Pumpkin Spice Fic Fest 2022. Prompts: Samhain, Autumn Storm, Rain Soaked.

    Note: This one-shot inspired a longer fic idea. Stay tuned for this to become Chapter One of an ongoing story soon. More to come once we have more to share. For now, enjoy!
