Draco and Hermione have kept their relationship a secret from everyone; but, after three years of constant lies and deceit, Hermione has had enough. After she offers an ultimatum, Draco agrees to go public; but Hermione learns prejudice and hatred are not traits only common to the Slytherin house. Labeled as a betrayer of her friends and Gryffindor, Hermione must make a decision about what matters most; in so doing, she finds that one decision could change everything. This piece is one I like to label an "alternate history". You'll find some of the details of the story coincide with how JK Rowling wrote them; but, for the purpose of this story, many things have been changed; not so much you'll hate it though, I hope.
