When everything is going wrong; he's there. Lurking in the shadows. Helping her.

At the end of Fifth Year, Hermione finds out why It is that none have approached her with a Marital Contract, the only way she can remain in the Wizarding World after Graduation. It has already been signed by her Magical Guardian, someone she has never met - she is to be the next Lady Malfoy. A year and a half later, she is a married witch, but still, Draco Malfoy, who had chosen her above all others, had not spoken of it. In fact, they barely spoke at all. And when trouble heads their way, Hermione means to change that. Really, she means to change a lot of things. Cover thanks to Tiara_Ng, who was so lovely as to post a Vietnamese Translation, and show me that there is an interest in my Dramione fics on Wattpad!

Weeks before the beginning of their Sixth Year at Hogwarts, Hermione Granger saves Draco Malfoy's life. Compelled to lie about it, Hermione's friendships become strained, and she finds an unexpected companion and confidante in Draco. Increasingly becoming the keeper of each other's secrets, they discover that truth and lies have little to do with trust. Year 6 + Year 7; soft/damaged Draco; mature content; does not follow the timeline of HBP and DH. WIP but update regularly. Hoping to complete by April 🖤
