Summary
In a desperate attempt to keep The Boy Who Lived alive and a figurehead of the Resistance's efforts, the Order of the Phoenix assigns Harry Potter and Ron Weasley a series of decoy horcruxes to send them away from the war's true danger.Instead, they secretly give the task of finding and destroying true horcruxes to Hogwart's most beloved Golden Girl- Hermione Granger- and Voldemort's most high-ranking puppet, turned double agent- Draco Malfoy.The only issue? The two are far more likely to destroy one another than they are Voldemort.As a violent and unforgiving war rages around them, Draco and Hermione must track and destroy dangerous Horcruxes, hide their mission from the rest of the wizarding world, and repress their burning emotions as their relationship develops into something far more terrifying than hatred.
