The Second War is over. Harry dreams of his future with Ginny - then utterly rejects it. Haunted with trauma, convinced he is broken, he leaves everything behind, only to realise that the life and the girl he wanted was with him all along. But getting her will not be easy. There are wounds to heal and Weasleys to bash out of the way, then HHR can finally begin their 'After Life'.

When Ginny tries to befriend Draco in an attempt to help her Father get promoted, she soon learns the life of the Malfoys has changed a great deal since the fall of Voldemort. When her curiosity leads her to find some unanswered questions, she ends up uncovering more than she ever expected.

The war has ended. The world returned to normal. Then they had to live in it. Five years after the war, Hermione Granger wears her survival like a badge and a bruise-polished, professional, and slowly vanishing beneath the weight of expectations. Marriage, career, public image: she plays the part. Even if it means losing the girl who once burned for justice. Draco Malfoy didn't ask for redemption, he only wanted to fade into obscurity. Become the man everyone expected of him and forget the rest. When Hermione walks back into his world, she isn't the girl he remembers. And he's no one's villain anymore. What begins as a reckless mistake turns into something messier-full of jagged wounds, softened edges, and the parts they swore they'd bury. This is a slow-burn, character-driven exploration of trauma, power, and what it means to want something real in the aftermath of survival. Dramione, but raw and human. Eventual HEA.

Harry saw Malfoy roll his eyes in exasperation. ''I'm not going to Kedava you dead Potter, calm down.'' He said nothing as Malfoy gathered his thoughts. ''I'm trying to...you see... what's up with Granger?'' Harry felt himself recoil as is pushed. What right did Malfoy, out of everyone, have to talk about Hermione. Malfoy squared his shoulders ready for a blow, his jaw tight, visibly holding back his true words when he spoke. ''She's not well.'' Cover by @paperbark
