Summary
Four years into her relationship with Ron Weasley, Hermione Granger finds out that he's been having an affair. Devastated, she spirals, terrified of the future and struggling to cope. She's the Brightest Witch of her Age, why is she crying over a boy?Stuck with a brand (both figuratively and literally) that he cannot get rid of, Draco Malfoy tries to stay away from the public eye after trying to atone for his role in the Second Wizarding War. His friends are convinced he can't live in the shadows forever. But surely someone like him doesn't deserve to shine?With a number of work related events coinciding, both witch and wizard are thrust into one another's vicinity, and neither one knows how to navigate through their complicated past. It doesn't help that some complicated feelings are also getting in the way...
Note
Hello all! This isn't my first fic but it is the first Dramione fic I've written. This is set about five years after the Wizarding War, and more details will be revealed as the fic continues. I'll be honest, I have no idea where this fic will go or how long it will be, but I'm procrastinating writing my dissertation with this fic so I'll try to update as often as I can. Happy reading!
