    Summary

    Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione Granger is a shadow of her former self. With Harry gone and her failed relationship with Ron behind her, she throws herself into her work at the Ministry of Magic, avoiding the lingering emptiness that threatens to consume her. One cold winter night, seeking a reprieve from her relentless routine, she stumbles into a quiet pub—and into the unexpected presence of Draco Malfoy. It's been over five years since their paths last crossed, and the man she meets now is nothing like the boy she once knew. As their lives intertwine in ways neither anticipated, old wounds, unspoken truths, and unexpected feelings begin to surface. In the wake of war and loss, can two former enemies find solace—and maybe even love—in each other?
