Professor Lupin resigned from Hogwarts thinking he had at least not harmed any students. What he didn't realize was that Draco Malfoy was hiding a dark secret on his left shoulder. As if that wasn't bad enough, Draco found himself entangled in a plot — one that involved Hermione Granger, who, as Merlin would have it, seemed to be involved in just about everything these days.

Voldemort has been sighted in the Ministry. Sirius is dead. All for a vague prophecy. But Hermione's parents don't know that. They are just two ordinary practitioners who are on holiday in Athens — and Hermione is determined to let them enjoy it. She's enchanted by the ocean the minute she lays eyes on it... where she meets a young Merperson named Draco.

"Why are we wasting our time playing Muggle games?" Malfoy demands, sneering in disgust. Nobody pays him any mind. The Room of Requirement has promised the final winner of the games whatever they desire, and Hermione knows even Malfoy won't back out, now. Dramione Sixth Year AU. Not strictly canon to previous books.

Hermione Granger is an unhealthily curious girl. So naturally, when she gets dragged into a strange world by a boy as abnormal as her, she has little complaint. Draco Malfoy is just a boy, rude, snobby and somewhat vile, but just a boy. Not curious enough to discover the secrets in his ancestral home... she still shows him them. She doesn't tell him that curiousity killed the cat.

Professor Lupin resigned from Hogwarts thinking he had at least not harmed any students. What he didn't realize was that Draco Malfoy was hiding a dark secret on his left shoulder. As if that wasn't bad enough, Draco found himself entangled in a plot — it involved blades, dragons and, as Merlin would have it, Hermione Granger.

Hermione is a realist — she knows that despite the fact that magic exists, fairytale endings certainly don't. She knows that there's a great chance that Harry will end up dying in the long run. So when she's given the opportunity to stop that, she puts everything on the line. Just her luck that her fate is intertwined with Draco Malfoy's as a result.
