Seven years after the war, the heroes of the wizarding world are not the same. Hermione Granger, once the brightest witch of her age, now drowns herself in Firewhisky and potions to silence the memories that haunt her. Estranged from Harry and Ron, she finds solace in the shadows of Knockturn Alley, working alongside Theo Nott and Pansy Parkinson in a bookstore-tattoo parlor where questions are left unasked. Draco Malfoy, fresh out of a two-year rehabilitation program, returns to London, hoping to escape the ghosts of his past and rebuild the pieces of a shattered life. But recovery is a double-edged sword, and no matter how far he runs, the cravings always linger. When his path crosses Hermione's again, old grudges are eclipsed by a new, dangerous tension-a pull neither of them can ignore. Both are haunted by their past addictions, drawn to each other in ways they can't quite explain. As their lives intertwine, the line between need and desire blurs, leading them into a dangerous dance of passion, pain, and healing. But with their demons lurking in every corner, they must decide whether they will save each other-or drag one another down into the darkness. In a world that has forgotten their sacrifices, they will have to confront the truth: some battles are fought in silence, and some cravings can't be denied.
