Hermione Granger was not selfish—she lost everything to Voldemort. She couldn't be selfless under his rule. Draco Malfoy was not hubristic—he had lost his humanity to Voldemort. How could you be the same person after war? In a post-apocalyptic world, anything is possible. Inspired from Hadestown, will not be using any music from Hadestown.

Aurelia had quite the reputation- one that was opposite of Draco Malfoy. Secrets appeared all around her life as a way of protection. The scariest ones were always the ones that lingered in the back of her head, every time she wanted to tell someone the words were left unsaid. Fate had plans for Aurelia Birdsong- Draco just happened to be the person Fate used to taunt Aurelia.
