After the second wizarding world ended the summer of 1998, the Malfoy family had to relocate. Not only had Lucius Malfoy given them all an awful name, a part of keeping out of Azkaban where Lucius and Narcissa surround their wands and the eighteen years old Draco Malfoy, have a tracker on his. The only condition was, leaving the magical world. Lucius nor Narcissa could come back.
Draco went with them, because his reputation was destroyed by the actions of his father, no hopes in recovery.
The trio started over in a small muggle town, knowing nothing of a world they had all been taught to hate. Lucius never left their home, spending most days reading the paper and over the course of the next two years had learn to work the television.
The year was summer of 2000. The two year anniversary of the war just took place, and Draco traveled to the magical world, and to Hogwarts for the 'celebration' he spoke not a word to anybody, and was gone before he could miggle. Returning to his muggle home to his parents, Narcissa and Lucius, and newborn sister, Violet Narcissa Malfoy.
A few years after the Battle of Hogwarts everybody is trying hard to recover from their losses and survive with the memories. What happens when Narcissa Malfoy decides that Hermione Granger is the best chance Draco has to get better?
"Are we really broken... without hope?" Draco asked while looking at the mark on his forearm.
"I don't know..." she whispered, looking down at her own scar.
