   Summary

   Hermione, an archivist at the Magical Archives, feels like she is stagnating. Her father is ill and her boyfriend is not exactly Prince Charming. Draco, who works in the Ministry under Kingsley Shacklebolt, is experiencing something similar, lonely with only a secondhand dog for company. A joint project forces them to work together to pass a new, controversial piece of legislation. Could his unexpected appearance in her life shake things up for the better? Or should she not trust his supposed change of heart?
