One lazy morning in 2003 sees Hermione Granger-Krum bunk off work to celebrate her wedding anniversary...after a little persuasion from her husband, of course.

Set a few years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione has psychological problems, problems that she will have to live with for the rest of her life. But perhaps a certain red-head, with problems of his own, can help her to see the light. But, unbeknownst to all, an enemy lurks in the shadows; and is willing, by any means, to make Hermione pay for her part in Voldemort's defeat.
