Summary
“She was supposed to be his rival, not his reason.”
Draco Malfoy returns to Hogwarts a changed young man. He’s seen the Dark Lord’s cruelty firsthand — watched him humiliate his most loyal followers, including Draco’s own father. If Voldemort truly revered blood, why does he treat purebloods like disposable tools?
Then there’s Tonks — his cousin, half-blood, Metamorphmagus — gifted with a trait thought extinct. His parents have tried and failed to produce another child, yet Tonks possesses something rare and ancient. It doesn’t add up.
What if Muggleborns are echoes of forgotten branches of once-powerful bloodlines, their magic buried and now reawakened stronger than before?
Hermione Granger — brilliant, maddening, unrelenting — is the living answer to that question. A Muggleborn with power that rivals any pureblood. And thanks to a shared Ancient Runes project, Draco has more time than he ever wanted to observe her. He notices everything: the sharp wit, the unapologetic strength, the warmth in her voice when she’s not cursing him.
He meant to prove a theory. He didn’t mean to lose his heart in the process.
