She isn't supposed to know where he is-that's what being on the run means. But Hermione is determined to find her Auror partner and he's not about to let her leave in the middle of a blizzard! And on Christmas Eve, no less.
Hermione runs into Draco Malfoy while attempting to finish her Christmas shopping... what would be a meet-cute for a less fraught couple becomes a strange tea date, and then an agreement-you help me and I'll return the favor. Inspired by every holiday romantic comedy... ever.
Hermione is in danger. She doesn't know from whom, but she has a pretty good idea why. The only trouble is, the one person that her best friends trust to keep her safe is the one person she cannot trust. Draco Malfoy.
Ten years after the Battle of Hogwarts, Hermione and Draco meet by chance in Muggle London. The nasty boy is gone, and in his place is a man left almost passionless. The passionate girl has been culled by the isolation of infamy, and in her place is a woman without without much left to give. They're both missing an essential piece: an anchor.
