When Hermione Granger returns to Hogwarts without Harry or Ron to complete her seventh year as Head Girl of Gryffindor, she finds herself completely alone besides Ginny. She starts to confide in a very controversial person, none other than Draco Malfoy, who was forced to return to Hogwarts for his own safety and in an attempt to repair his name after the Battle.
Hermione always had a secret love for the infamous Draco, until that night in Malfoy Manor... when her screams of pain were piercing the very walls of the house, and Draco did nothing. It not only scarred Hermione physically, but it also crushed any stupid little schoolgirl crush she'd ever had for Draco.
That's why not a single soul ever found out she loved him, and she's determined that no one ever will, especially not Draco.
However, when Headmistress McGonagall assigns Hermione and Draco as partners on a special project, Hermione is increasingly puzzled by Dracos behavior, and at herself for even observing him.
But does Draco really hate her as well? And what of Ron, who Hermione struggles to be intimate with, or has he always been more of a loving brother figure?
(This is a slow burn fanfic, be warned)

"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
