    Summary

    Every Thursday, Hermione Granger sits at the same table in a forgotten corner of the Hogwarts library. And every Thursday, Draco Malfoy sits across from her. They do not speak. They do not touch. Outside the room, they are exactly what they have always been: enemies on opposite sides of a war neither of them is old enough to understand. But inside, five feet of black oak becomes its own kind of truce.
    A habit becomes a ritual. A ritual becomes a fixation. And somewhere between stolen glances and years of silence, Hermione realizes Draco has been studying her with the same relentless attention she has begun to turn on him.

    The table has rules.
    Stay on your side.
    Never speak.
    Never touch.
    For years, they obey them.

    Until Draco doesn't. Part 1 of 3
