    Summary

    When two people realize they might not hate one another as much as they had thought, they allow themselves to expand their circle of trust and find that they might just be exactly what the other needs to make it through this war.

    For Draco, this means setting aside his pride and asking the Golden Girl for help.

    For Hermione, this means acknowledging that there's more to the story than what she 'knows'.

    For the both of them, this means putting their trust in someone they once considered an enemy.

I’m still figuring it all out. So, I’ll keep walking the halls and be the arrogant prick I am, to keep up appearances until its safe not to. But I can tell you this, Granger. I don’t want to be another one of your, or anyone’s, monsters.”
