To Be Seen (Draco x Hermione)

Hermione Granger is lonely.

Post-war, slugging through her 8th year at Hogwarts, she's struggling with herself. She's questioning her path in life, and is finding it hard to move on. She's also slowly feeling more and more left behind by the people she thought were her best friends. They're essentially moving on without her, and she could never be more jealous. She feels as though they don't know her anymore, especially because they're all in loving relationships, which is something Hermione craves so dearly.

She just wants to be seen.

But after being paired up for a class assignment, she finds unlikely companionship in the last person she would ever expect to... Draco Malfoy.

And maybe she isn't so alone after all.
