Summary
The war is over, but ruin still lingers in the castle walls, and in the lives trying to rebuild inside them.
Hermione Granger hadn't expected to find common ground with Draco Malfoy during Hogwarts' restoration project. She definitely didn't expect the letters, the postcards, or the slow fifteen-year ache of something that never had the chance to begin.
They made a pact: if they were still single at thirty-five, they'd go on one proper date.
No history. No expectation. Just to see.
Now it's his birthday.
He's at her door.
And neither of them is ready for what that means.
