In the years following the war, Hermione and Harry are Aurors, partners, and best friends. But an escalating mission involving mysterious zealots, dark creatures, and death will force Hermione out of her comfort zone when she has to work with Draco Malfoy.

What would Tonks do if she survived the Final Battle…but Remus didn’t? Who would be there to comfort her? And would a second chance at love live up to the love of her life she thought she’d lost?

It was never a question whether Hermione would go back to Hogwarts for her 8th year. What she didn’t see coming was a certain blonde who keeps getting thrown into her path. When Hogwarts offers nothing more disturbing than a heavy course load, secret parties, and dramatic friends, Draco and Hermione just might find a way to get along. Or maybe even more.
