Following the chaotic ending of her engagement to life-long friend, Hermione Granger decided to take a much needed break from the public eye. Now she is making the decision to return to her own version of normalcy, but on her terms and with surprising allies at her side. Author's note: This is a story about Hermione with a side of Draco, not a full on dramione in the usual sense.

Following the Dark Lord's demise, newly elected Prime Minister Kingsley Shacklebolt finds himself forced to take action against crimes of hatred that are targeting families previously known as purebloods by implementing an ancient law that might be the only solution to the cry for help published in the Daily Prophet by a Malfoy.
