What was Hermione like before she met the boys? The books/movies don't explain any of her past. Hermione tells Ron a little about herself after an accident brings up old memories. Because everyone is shaped by their past. Death of an OC. Hints of RW/HG.
It's always at night that fear and doubt hold the most power. Ron and Hermione find some comfort from their troubles the summer between 6th and 7th year. AU after HP & the HBP. Sap/Waff/Fluff, etc.
