It was no surprise that Harry and Ron would go off for Auror training. Hermione was happy for her boys, truly. As for her, all she wanted was to drown herself in her own dark secrets and get her NEWTs. Professor Malfoy, with his ferrety watchful eye seemed to think that quiet self-destruction was too much to ask. (Dramione, post-war, 8th year)

Sequel to, "Blood and Ink." If you haven't read it, I strongly recommend going back to read it first before starting this story. Auror Malfoy has been tracking down the elusive leader behind The Children of Merlin for five bloody years. One day he gets abducted outside of his own home and ends up with a little help along with a major conflict of interest from beyond the grave.

Draco has reset the timeline, effectively robbing Death of Hermione's soul. Now that they're back in the year 2001, how will their story play out? Did Hermione mean what she said when she told him she'd love him in another life? (Post-Hogwarts, Dramione, mostly canon compliant, sequel to Blood and Ink)
