On the Hogwarts Express, Draco and his friends cannot find a compartment until they walk into one with a sleeping girl with short hair, a black shirt, and earbuds in, listening to music. The Syltherins decide to sit with her because there is no where else.
Draco has apologized to the Golden Trio. He Blaise, Theo, Pansy, and Astoria have all decided to change for the better. No more blood-status, no more bullying, and no more shortcuts.
The girl never woke up, but Draco has a sick feeling in his stomach. When he toke another look at the girl, an hour after they left the platform, he is shocked at what he sees. The normal sleeping girl is gone replaced by a bruised, beaten, and thin girl with a scared look on her face. And a hand print around her wrist.
He soon realizes who the girl is after hearing her voice and seeing her eyes. She is none other than the Gryffindor Princess,
Hermione Granger.

Hermione finds herself out of place after the war. Really out of place.
~The students of Hogwarts have returned for their Seventh Year that they were unable to attend, a year prior. Ron and Harry, getting ready to finish their Seventh Year and become Aurors, like they planned. After Hermione turns down Ron, for feeling wrong about being with him, she feels alone. Scared. Out of sorts. But she isn't the only one.
Draco Malfoy sits at the other end of the Great Hall, by himself, surrounded by the other Slytherins, all avoiding him except for Theo Nott, Blaise Zabini, and Pansy Parkinson. The other death eaters. But Malfoy doesn't seem to notice, too busy staring into nothingness, with grief. Hermione cannot help but stare at the poor boy who everyone hates. Who she hates. But she doesn't feel that way when she's looking at him. All of a sudden she realizes his composure has broken, staring back at her.~
Will she invite in the enemy of her childhood? Will she see past it, as he is the only one who understands the pain she's enduring?
