Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

Malfoy's handsome face was contoured into a condescending smirk. "No faith in that giant brain of yours, Granger?" She looked up at him defiantly. "Maybe I don't have any faith in you!" she said, raising her voice. Malfoy only looked at her. You'll find I'm very surprising. Dramione AU, canon divergence, year 6 with a slow burn and a killer twist. Book I of "This World or Any Other" Series. COMPLETE.

This is the epilogue of Isolation by Bex-Chan. This orignal copy is written on fanfiction.net by Bex-Chan. I am just posting the epilogue here and not the full 48 chapters before this due to the fact that someone already posted the 48 chapters and not the epilogue. The first 48 chapters can be found on Wattpad by "uunrequited".

❛stay a little longer❜ there is a list on my profile of the available translations of this story.

This is a sequel to the renowned FanFiction 'Isolation'. Both works are written by Bex Chan. It takes places eleven years after 'Isolation'. I read it on FanFiction.net and decided to upload it here for people who prefer reading on wattpad. This story is my personal favourite, and is regarded by many dramione shippers as the best. It has made us laugh and cry uncontrollably for 48 perfect chapters. I couldn't recommend it more, so if you haven't read it yet, I suggest you return here once you have. There is a copy of it on wattpad as well which I have attached in my reading lists. I hope you enjoy. All credits to Bex Chan who has crafted this wonderful story.
