Summary
Seven years after the war, Hermione Granger has everything she thought she wanted—a successful career at the Ministry, an exciting new research project on dragon blood, and her parents back in her life after years of being separated.
But her parents have become uncomfortable with the wizarding world, and Hermione is becoming tired of having to split herself in two—hiding her magic, censoring her stories, and pretending to be someone she's not.
When Charlie Weasley offers to help with her research, she finds herself drawn to his easy warmth, his practical wisdom, and the way he sees her—all of her, without flinching. Hermione navigates her double life and wonders whether she'll ever be able to fully be herself in both worlds? Or whether she'll have to choose between the parents who raised her and the witch she's become?
A quiet, character-driven story about belonging, family, and Hermione learning to put herself first.
