13 parts Complete MatureThe war is over, but the scars still linger. Hogwarts reopens its doors for a final, unofficial "eighth year", a chance for students to rebuild, relearn, and heal. Hermione Granger never expected peace to feel so heavy. Between long nights, thick books, and memories that refuse to fade, she carries the weight of a war that changed her. But nothing unsettles her quite like the presence of Draco Malfoy , quieter than she remembers, eyes darker, posture heavier. When a potion partnership forces them into uncomfortable closeness, the tension begins to simmer, awkward brushes of fingers, half-said apologies, and moments that feel like maybe, just maybe, people can change.
But old wounds don't vanish overnight. Prejudices linger in hallways. And fate, as always, has a twisted sense of timing.
But sometimes, answers come only when you least expect them.
