In the aftermath of the War, two people slowly come to realise that they might be more alike than they ever thought. A second chance, the benefit of the doubt, and a push in the right direction, sometimes that's really all it takes for a person to exceed your expectations. But we all know Hermione Granger. Will an 'Exceeds Expectations' be good enough just this once?

It has long been predicted that technology would mark the downfall of man, but no one ever expected that a single A.I. could possibly claim that sole responsibility by merging the powers of technology with magic. Hermione is instructed to keep an eye on Malfoy with the hope that his inside knowledge holds the key to Voldemort's destruction. Written for the DFW Halloween Fest 2018.

When Ron wakes up in a dark dungeon after being abducted by Death Eaters, Harry and Hermione must make the impossible choice between saving him or bringing down Voldemort, while Ron must blindly rely on an old nemesis to survive. Lines will blur and black and white will collide, but betrayal lurks around the corner... The decision to trust certain people may cost a life or two.
