    Summary

    Mesmerised, Severus stepped closer, stopping in the shelter of a pagoda tree. His heart ached with longing upon the sight that met his eyes: A spacious, softly lit interior with sumptuous carpets on the polished floorboards, the walls bordered by carved shelves full of books. Two comfortable armchairs stood in front of the warming fire, flickering in a chimney of fair stone.

    As a young woman stepped into the room with fluid movements Severus' breath caught. The modern interpretation of a Kimono flowed around the feminine figure, her upswept amber curls and lovely profile shimmering in the light of the glow. Never in his life had he seen anything so entrancing.

    But when she lifted her face, realisation flashed through him like a lightning bolt. The luminous lady who had testified so emphatically on his behalf before the Wizengamot, who had visited him during his dream in the sinister hideout to bring a glimmer of hope, and who had finally laid the decisive trail with her exquisite card, was none other than Hermione Granger!

    This is a story about recovery and healing, about coming to peace with the past, discovering one's true abilities, strengths and powers – and maybe even something completely unexpected.
