   Summary

   Hermione finds herself a bit lost. No parents, her friends moving on to create their own families, and struggling with what she truly wants in life. All she's certain of is that the moniker of "Golden Girl" has lost its shine and she's done playing nice. Golden has gotten her nowhere.

   Draco finds himself stuck in his own rut. Ex-Death Eater, Unspeakable, and bored out of his fucking mind. All he's certain of is that the "Golden Girl" is not herself and for some damned reason, he's incredibly bothered.
