Against the Odds

In the aftermath of the Wizarding War, Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are thrust into an forced marriage as part of a Ministry decree aimed at uniting former enemies. Bound by law but divided by past betrayals, they struggle to navigate their new life together, each harboring deep scars and unspoken fears.

Hermione's emotional walls are high, her trust shattered by everything she witnessed during the war-especially in Malfoy's drawing room. Draco, burdened by guilt and shame from his past, quietly yearns for redemption, determined to prove he's more than the Death Eater label she brands him with.
