   Summary

   Only a few months after the end of the Second Wizarding War, Draco Malfoy is already on trial for his crimes. To his surprise, he is given a choice: Azkaban, or two years of community service, starting with the restoration of Hogwarts. Out of options and ready to get back everything he has lost, Draco returns to the scene of some of his greatest mistakes, only to find that he is being thrust into the company of someone he would much rather avoid… Hermione Granger has every reason to loathe him, after all. All Draco wants is to serve his sentence as quietly as possible, but that's impossible with Granger around. The prickly witch with fierce brown eyes is entirely different from what Draco had always assumed, and somewhere between the bickering, blackmail, bribery attempts, and near-death experiences, Draco and Granger find themselves as unlikely friends.
   But do friends look at each other quite like that?
