Summary
What Remains is a dark, dreamy exploration of memory, magic, and the things we can’t quite forget, even when we try.
Hermione Granger oversees the Archive: a vast, living vault of magical memory buried deep beneath the Ministry. Memories are going missing. People are unraveling. And the magic holding everything together is beginning to... shift. The Ministry wants answers, and they’ve brought in an outside consultant to help her find them—Draco Malfoy. Reformed. Brilliant. Still impossible.
What starts as a tense partnership quickly becomes something far stranger. And the deeper they go into the Archive’s secrets, the more it seems to be watching them, shaping itself around their history, their regrets, and something else neither of them can name.
The war is over, but the scars are deep. Magic has grown colder, quieter, and more dangerous.
If you’re drawn to stories that blur the line between romance and haunting, between past and present; if you like sentient structures, a powerful Hermione, a morally gray Draco who never really stopped burning, and magic that feels like myth, then this one’s for you.
And fair warning: the Archive always takes something in return.Series
