Unspoken

The witch who opens her eyes in the dark hallways of the Ministry of Magic is not Hermione Granger.Hermione Granger is gone.Granger has ceased to exist but she did not intend to disappear without answers. This new Hermione must weave her way through a life she doesn’t remember while seeking those out to kill her, and figure out if she can trust the handsome blonde who seems to be the only person to realize something is wrong…___“Are you always going to be this petty whenever we run into each other?”He grinned, flashing her a wicked smile that screamed danger; like a five-alarm blaze blaring in the back of her mind. “I thought you liked a little tête-à-tête. I’m hurt, Granger.”“You’re a Healer, aren’t you? I’m sure you can manage.”The grin grew wider, as though he was enjoying this. Was this the same man who had been such a grumpy ass in her office earlier today? Didn’t he hate her?“Something is not right with you,” Hermione said aloud before she could help herself.Malfoy’s smile vanished in an instant, replaced by the more familiar sneer. “You aren’t exactly yourself, either.”

The inspiration for this storyline was taken from The Rook by Daniel O’Malley. Some passages will be very similar in the beginning to mimic the same circumstances.---This story was previously posted (incomplete) on AO3 between 2019-2021. As I wrote, the plot blossomed in front of me and I realized that there were too many discrepancies in my previous chapters (of which there were nine at the time) to take the tale where I wanted it to go. I took the piece down in December 2021 and promised to repost it with my revisions.As promised, here is the new Unspoken. Not all the chapters were extensively rewritten but there are quite a few subtle revisions alongside the more obvious ones. If you read Unspoken before, I invite you to please reread from the beginning. Thank you for joining me on this writing journey.
