Summary
“She will be safer here,” Dumbledore said.
Crouch’s gaze did not leave the infant. “Safe,” he repeated, as if the word were something bitter against his tongue. His gloved hand hovered once above the blanket, never quite touching. “She will live,” he said at last, quiet and aching all at once. “That is all that matters now.”
Hermione Granger was never meant to inherit anything but books, brilliance, and the sharp burden of always being underestimated. But magic remembers what the world buries, and some truths do not stay dead simply because they are hidden. When eyes begin to linger and old names begin to stir, Hermione finds herself standing at the edge of a legacy she was never meant to touch, and one that may yet claim her.
