Draco Malfoy jumped at the noise an owl knocking on his window made. He opened the window, took the piece of paper. He read it once, than twice but aloud this time to let the words sink in. ''Your suspect stroke again. Please come fast to your office. It's Granger. - Zabini. '' // ''Lads,'' he whispered in a hurt hush,'' We've got 21 days before Crucio, 28 before death. Pray Merlin we will find her sooner than that.''

It is the start of their Seventh Year, the Dark Lord is dead, and the only commotion the Golden Trio expects is to have boring, mundane lives from here on out. The Ministry of Magic has other plans. Enter Marriage Law and Dramione.

Hogwarts is a welcoming place when you've never seen it littered with corpses; when you've never seen the lights fading from a person's eyes, when you've never heard the screams that echoed through the air. Of course, very few of the people there haven't seen it like that. Nightmares wreak havoc among Draco and Hermione, and they're tired of trying to fight the memories off. Couple that with the Triwizard Tournament and you've got a really tiring year ahead of you. The Goblet of Fire, however, has been slightly broken since Harry won the last tournament. And so, with each school in the Great Hall when names are to be chosen, it conjures up the names of two people who did put their names in and the image of one who didn't. And Hermione is that one. From lethifolds to a trip into the Forbidden Forest, the Tournament creates new relationships and rips apart old ones. Nobody feels safe. And with good reason; what lurks in the Forbidden Forest is something that could cause the fall of the wizarding world as we know it.
