How did it feel? It felt like he was barely holding it together. She, of all people, should shun him. Or yell at him. Curse him. Spit at him. Take out her wand and blast him off the face of the earth. It was crushing guilt and relief and confusion all at once when he looked at Hermione Granger. The monotony of Draco's daily routine had become both a lifeline and a noose. But this new habit of grabbing morning coffee with Hermione Granger is quickly becoming a reason to get out of bed and is unfortunately forcing him to re-evaluate his inconsequential existence. Hermione is living her life in fragments, separate pieces scattered about, and she can't find a way to step back and let the full picture form. Why is morning coffee with Draco Malfoy the only thing that makes sense anymore? *cover art created by @eternallyreadinggoodthings

Hermione felt the pounding in her ears again. She would see him for the first time since the Great Hall, gaunt and stricken at the Slytherin table with his mother clutching his arm. She hadn't meant to look for him. Not in the corridors, not beneath the white sheets of the fallen, not on the way to the Chamber of Secrets with Ron, but she was a stupid girl.

What if the Dark Lord never returned, never created the Horcruxes, or even knew how? Hermione and her two friends, Harry and Ron, go back to finish off their last year as normal, unpopular, unspecial kids-besides the fact that they attend a school full of magic. No 'Chosen-One', no Golden Girl, no Potter's sidekick. She experiences the highs and lows of being a teenager, filling her life with drama, petty remarks, and even causing her to take a dip in the muddy waters most known to others as the "wonders of teenage romance". *More of a modern-day approach to teenage life* ⚠Notice: contains underage drinking, drugs, mature language, and smut ⚠ ~All credit goes to J.K.
