Summary
Seven years after the war, Hermione Granger is assigned to investigate the source of a strange, potion-induced addiction epidemic. What she needs is a lead; what she gets is an empty case file, and the reluctant cooperation of an infuriating Unspeakable—Draco Malfoy.
Reclusive, taciturn and the scion of infinite secrets, Malfoy is an endless source of irritation. But when a single detail exposes his connection to the potion, Hermione finds herself entangled with a changing man, a sentient Manor, and an utterly compromised worldview.
ALTERNATIVELY: the one where Hermione and Draco use academia as a form of escapism, and are horrified when knowledge leads to mortal peril—and, more alarmingly, each other.
