PREVIOUSLY TITLED "THOSE THREE WORDS" Draco Malfoy is on a mission, assigned to him by those few Death Eaters that still remain unfailingly loyal to their fallen leader. Get close to Harry Potter, the boy responsible for the downfall of the once-invincible Lord Voldemort, and kill him. All Hermione wants is to finish her seventh year at Hogwarts. With Voldemort gone and the Battle of Hogwarts now a part of history, it looks as though she will finally be able to do this - but then Draco Malfoy comes into the picture. He has lost none of his arrogance, charm or confidence, and now Hermione is starting to find these qualities not as repulsive as she once did. Drawn to each other and battling opposing forces on all sides, Hermione and Draco are about to enter a relationship that puts not just their own lives in danger, but the lives of those around them. Are they strong enough to defeat those forces of evil that just will not give up, while still remaining close to each other? Or will one final battle destroy everything they have fought for? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- All characters and the Hogwarts castle remain the sole property of J.
