During her 7th year at Hogwarts, Hermione is intrigued right from the start by the new Astronomy teacher, Professor John Smith. This strange man has captured all her attention and she seems to have done the same to him. As the year goes by, talking to someone on a more intellectual level becomes something of a drug for her. Letters from Ron become less frequent and conversation with John are more often. The student-teacher wall falls to allow a great friendship to form. But Hermione’s feelings are much more than that. She is falling for the wizard with the metal wand. But an affair isn’t the only thing happening is the castle. Strange things are happening to Hermione that even her great mind cannot explain.

Her hair flew gently in the breeze as she sat on the abandoned roof of a rundown building, looking out at the people rushing around on the streets completely unaware of the trouble brewing around them. Last night was the start, the Fal-Cie had returned. It had been over a millennium since the ancient warriors had threatened the human race, or what was left of it. Even though their last attack was over a thousand years ago it still impacted the humans. They were unknowingly broken. When Grace heard sirens in the background she knew it was time to move, even with all the problems the Fal-Cie had started she was still a wanted woman, one that was desperately looking to be free.
