Hermione, now in her mid-20s, is back at Hogwarts to pursue higher education. Trying to forget the trauma carved into her by the war, she spends one lust-filled night with a certain pureblood. But that night will have consequences. While her personal life unravels, a string of mysterious murders forces her to work together with Draco Malfoy, who himself seems to carry many secrets. "He scared her. Not because he wielded killing curses like they were nothing, but because he seemed to understand her in a way that even she didn't. The more she let him in, the more power he had to destroy her." Come for the smut, stay for the plot.

(Traduction française de Secrets and Masks de Emerald_Slytherin, je ne fais que traduire cette fiction , elle ne m'appartient pas ) Neuf ans après la bataille de Poudlard, la guerre fait toujours rage et tout le monde a beaucoup changé depuis leurs jours à Poudlard. Hermione est la soldate la plus redoutable de l'Ordre, passant ses journées en mission de sauvetage pour libérer des esclaves nés-moldus capturés et combattre en première ligne. Depuis des années, elle se rencontre en secret avec un espion infiltré parmi les rangs de Voldemort pour échanger des informations. Mais lorsqu'elle est capturée et faite prisonnière au Manoir des Malefoy, parmi toutes les manières sombres et maléfiques auxquelles elle avait imaginé que Malfoy la torturerait, elle n'avait jamais vraiment imaginé quelque chose d'aussi horrible.

After three years of dating, Ron admits he cheated on Hermione for two of those years with Daphne Greengrass--and Harry knew all about it. Reeling from the betrayal by her friends and family, Hermione must rebuild her life and discover new bonds with an unlikely group including Theo Nott, Blaise Zabini, and Pansy Parkinson. What happens when Draco Malfoy, her first and deepest love, suddenly reappears in Hermione's life and she finds that her feelings have only grown deeper with time? OR: Hermione and Draco secretly dated at Hogwarts, he left after his trial, and now he's returned to win her back. --------- DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THIS FIC AT ALL. THE ORIGINAL STORY WAS MADE BY Twin_Flame_Blues AND IS ON THE AO3 WEBSITE. I loved this work of art on ao3 and brought it to wattpad for those that want to read it but like the wattpad format for reading better then the ao3 format. AUTHORS NOTE (COPY & PASTED FROM AO3) 1. This world has wizards, it doesn't need heteronormativity. Everyone is a little bit queer here. 2. We stan a Slytherin redemption story arc and a deeper investigation of the type of friends Harry and Ron really were to Hermione. 3. Yes, both my username and all the chapter titles in this fic are pulled from Taylor Swift songs. 4. There will be short flashbacks to Hogwarts days in each chapter, but this fic primarily takes place 3+ years after the end of the war (and though there will be allusions to sex in the flashbacks, the only explicit sex scenes will take place when the characters are all over 18). 5. We will eventually get to alternating POV's in each chapter, but we've got to do some setup first.
