Checkmate

Two stars destined to collide... Two broken hearts are looking to be whole.

He is her muse; she is his poet.
She is his guide; he is her adventure.

Hermione Granger is a war hero. She is the witch that helped lead Harry Potter to victory. She is the brightest witch of her age. But, behind her tough and calculated exterior, she's something else entirely; just a girl who misses her parents, her old life, and all those she lost to the war. How will she survive 8th year sharing a dormitory with the one person she hates most and without the only two people who understand what she's going through?

Draco Malfoy is an outcast. He is the scum that changed sides at the last second. He is the wizard that conspired with the Dark Lord. He is a traitor, no matter how hard hes tried to right his wrongs. But, despite his reputation, he's just a broken little boy who had no choice. He had his Father's reputation, and then his dear Mother's safety to consider with every step he took, and he is so, so remorseful for what he did. But how will he prove it when no one trusts him, especially his headstrong roomate, who he's been head over heels in love with since 4th Year?

Proffesor McGonagal sees two broken children in need. They could learn a lot from each other, if only they were to take down those masks they insisted on wearing. She has the perfect plan to help them both out and cause their worlds to collide for good...
