Summary
Some forces are too heavy to escape. For Draco Malfoy, it’s the suffocating weight of his family legacy, a career at Malfoy Enterprises he loathes, a hollow marriage, and the destructive pull of the bottle. He’s entirely resigned to his downward orbit until a severe case of alcohol poisoning lands him in St. Mungo’s, where medical scans deliver a brutal ultimatum: keep drinking, and face certain death.
Waking up in the hospital introduces a new center of gravity: Hermione Granger. As a brilliant healer and researcher running a cutting-edge lab, she isn't interested in watching him waste away. Through an innovative potion regimen and therapy sessions with a brilliantly blunt Mind Healer, Draco begins the agonizing process of fighting back against his oldest instincts.
Sobriety forces Draco to face the mess he's made, requiring him to completely restructure his world from the inside out. As he learns to let down his guard and allow unexpected allies into his corner, including his own parents and even a shockingly patient Ron Weasley, he finds that breaking old habits might finally allow him to fly, if he's brave enough to follow the witch leading the way.
