Summary
After the death of both his parents, Draco is sent to live with the Tonks family under quiet supervision. Grief-stricken, angry, and increasingly isolated, he returns to Hogwarts burdened by a legacy he no longer believes in and a desire for revenge he's not sure how to carry out.
Meanwhile, Hermione is trying — and mostly failing — to make sense of Ron (who has become a potions progidy overnight with the help of a certain textbook), and why patrolling the castle with Malfoy is the only time her brain actually shuts up.
The war is getting closer. The lines are blurring. And somewhere between patrols, potion assignments, and almost-friendship, two people who were never meant to understand each other start to.
Fic covers some canon events from sixth year & eventually the deathly hallows.
Mega slow burn with some minor Hermione/Ron (doesn't last very long)E for eventual smut
