New year fresh start right? No. Or at least not for Draco Malfoy. Struggling with a past that refuses to stay where it belongs he feels more alone then ever at Hogwarts School of Witch Craft and Wizardry. There is only one thing keeping him alive; his love for the beautiful muggle-born, Hermione Jean Granger. But he's not sure it will keep him here much longer as there is no one Hermione hates more the the pale slytherin, Draco Malfoy. Or so he thought.
