The war is over, but the battles inside are just beginning. When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts for her eighth year, she returns as a different person - scarred by fear, death, and even victory. The only person she feels like she can disclose her trauma to is Remus Lupin, former member of the Order of the Phoenix, current professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts, and increasingly the object of her secret affections. Lupin, for his part, is not only fighting against the werewolf that lies inside of him at all times but also his burgeoning feelings for his student, feelings which he considers beyond any reasoning, logic, or propriety. However, as these two masters of the mind are about to find out, it's in the matters of the heart where things start to get...unpredictable.
