Summary
Hermione Granger never planned to re enter the world of sacred surnames and Gringotts vaults fattened by centuries of pureblood tradition. She left that world behind the moment she left Hogwarts, determined to do something that mattered. At the Ministry she’s focused on real change: fighting for equality, reforming outdated laws and proving that where you come from shouldn’t matter.
But her oldest friend, Lily Evans, has taken a different path. Ambitious and socially savvy, Lily has thrown herself into wizarding high society and she’s dragging Hermione along for the ride. Hermione tells herself it's temporary. Just a few events. A little small talk. A chance to support her friend.
Then she meets Louis Black. Charming. Elegant. And very much from that world. He’s everything she’s always tried to avoid and somehow exactly what she can’t resist. Just as she's beginning to believe she can balance both worlds, hers and his, she attends a family party that changes everything. Because Louis’ cousin is Draco Malfoy.
Her first bully.
Her first love.
Her first heartbreak.And nothing - not time, not reason, not even Louis - could prepare her for what it feels like to see him again.
