    Summary

    ✨NOW COMPLETE✨

    When Draco Malfoy entered her life after the war he changed her.
    He knows her body, has learned every way to touch her, to break her apart until he is the only one capable of putting her back together. He’s ruined her and saved her, and Hermione knows in her bones that she will never be the same.

    And when Hermione Granger walked away she lingered like an echo.

     

    And now it's gone, but not entirely, and that almost makes it worse. His feelings for her are like a dying ember that refuses to smoulder; it clings to each breath of his oxygen as a last resort.
    A reminder that she is still here.
    She’s a char on his very soul, and Draco wants to hate her for that, but he can’t muster the energy.

     

    Five years later, Hermione works as a palliative healer for St. Mungo’s battling a new magical ailment that destroys one's magical core, while Draco Malfoy works as a researcher for the Department of Mysteries. When their paths cross once more will they be able to place their pride aside and rediscover the romance they once shared? Or will fate have other plans, and their burdens be too much to share?
