Hermione Granger and philophobia, the fear of emotional attachment, go hand in hand.
Three years after The Battle Of Hogwarts, the brightest witch of her age is barely holding on. Lost in the depths of: addiction, PTSD, grief and betrayal, she's nothing like the girl everyone once knew.
Betrayed by the man she thought she'd spend her life with, Hermione embarks on a journey to reclaim herself. But love has a way of finding you when you least expect it... sometimes in the arms of the last person you'd ever imagine- your former enemy, and one of your old oppressors.
But after all the bullying and trauma Draco has put her through, can Hermione ever truly trust him? And can Draco prove that he's more than just his past mistakes?
