Summary
What happens when Draco Malfoy, a sworn Death Eater, commits the ultimate betrayal and allows the Golden Trio to escape from under Voldemort’s thumb? After the fiasco at Malfoy Manor, Hermione was separated from Harry and Ron during the escape. She resumes life on the run alone and waits, constantly on the alert for any sign of her friends’ whereabouts. Meanwhile, Draco Malfoy, shaken by what happened at the Manor, has finally had enough. His loyalties had been wavering since that night on the Astronomy Tower, and after allowing the Trio to escape, it is suicide to remain on Voldemort’s side. Before he can change his mind, he pens a letter to the trio, not knowing they are separated, offering information and asking for a way out. The letter finds its way to Hermione, who, after much hesitation and debate with herself, writes back.
Note
I had the thought that Draco could have faced some serious consequences from letting the Golden Trio escape from the Manor, and decided to write this fic because of it! This is my first time posting anything that I've written and I'm really excited to see where the story takes me! Join me in this journey and I hope you love the story as much as I do!
