Salem is a smart girl. She knows how to handle herself, and how to defend herself. She is outspoken and unique. She is learning to adapt to the city that is Gotham after moving from a bad situation. She wants to focus on work, feel better about her life as she moves forward, but what happens when she unwittingly starts to fall for a particular geeky forensic science technician?

It all started the summer after Sirius Black was killed. The Order moved Hermione to Number 12 Grimmauld Place, due to the rising dangers to Muggle-born witches and wizards. Hermione was upset, having to Obliviate her parents to keep them safe. However, a very unlikely companion in the dank hovel of Number 12 may be able to ease her troubled mind, and maybe even her broken heart.
