[COMPLETED] The Battle changed everyone, there was no doubt in that. Hermione was still returning to Hogwarts despite this, in the hope she would be able to get her NEWTs and move on. Nightmares haunt her, and it will be difficult to forget all that has happened. Draco was a Death Eater, despised and feared. Now he has to contend with the hate he helped breed, and make it to the end of his exams before he can escape it. But all he did has taken it's toll, and he's not the only one dealing with the awful memories. They say misery loves company, but maybe broken people can learn to fix each other... WARNING: Themes of self-harm, panic attacks and suicide feature prominently in this story. Trigger warnings are put at the start of chapters for self-harm, suicide and death, but many chapters feature panic attacks or references to panic attacks. If any of these things upset or trigger you, I recommend you avoid these signposted chapters or the book as a whole.

We've all heard the tales of good and bad, the tales of innocent deceit and her hero, the tales that despite their nature, show us the beauty in contrast. But it's the tales of pure evil that get swept under the rug. The tales of deception, where cruelty is rewarded. The tales that have you questioning who the real villain of the story is. There's a simple philosophy to most thing in life; two wrongs 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 make a right. So what ensues when you put two of the worst kinds of people together?

The year after her brother James graduates, Teddy Potter returns to Hogwarts for her final year. With the Marauders gone, it should be a quiet, peaceful year despite the mounting tensions in the world outside of school. The problem, naturally, lies with Regulus Black, the broody boy who just might be the most effortlessly aggravating person she's ever met in her whole life. And for someone who was raised with James Potter, that's saying a LOT. ─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ─── "You know, it must be exhausting to be such a fucking prick all the time."
