    Summary

    Five years after the war, Hermione Granger has very little time for something like a relationship. She's far too busy trying to run the Bureau for Endangered Creatures efficiently, dealing with budget cuts and ignorant ministry officials and finding a way to somehow restore her parents' memories, who are still in Australia and none the wiser about the existence of their daughter.

    When she discovers that the Wizengamot plans to use Draco Malfoy as a scapegoat whilst dealing with elusive Voldemort loyalists, she offers to testify for him. She's not quite sure how it led to her trying on wedding dresses under the watchful eye of Narcissa Malfoy.

    Summary

    Book Four: Axiom
    [A statement or proposition which is regarded as being established, accepted, or self-evidently true.]

    The long and brutal war has finally ended, with the Order of the Phoenix triumphing over Lord Voldemort – but the conflict has left the wizarding world wounded and scarred, everything in disarray.

    In the wake of the victory, Draco and Hermione’s celebration is made bittersweet by grief, and tempered by uncertainty for the future as they try to navigate the aftermath of the war, and find a way to carve out a life for themselves in a peacetime that now feels foreign. Coping with trauma, incipient parenthood, and the condemnation of the wider wizarding world for Draco’s actions during the war may prove to be much harder than they ever expected.

    But as long as they have each other, they can survive anything…

    Summary

    Book One: Gravitation
    [Law III: To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction: or the mutual actions of two bodies upon each other are always equal, and directed to contrary parts.]

    The trio's search for the Horcruxes was abandoned when Griphook absconded with the Sword of Gryffindor, leaving the three – traumatised and disheartened – to return to join the rest of the Order in the ongoing brutal war against Voldemort. Several months later a maimed, disillusioned, and broken Draco surrenders himself to the Order after his failures earn him Voldemort's displeasure, and Hermione finds herself the warder of the prisoner in the cellar.

    Summary

    To truly know someone is to differentiate between who they once were, who they are now, and who they're capable of being. Hermione realises the duality of one man as she rectifies what she knows of the past and begins to understand the pieces of who Draco Malfoy is now: a father, a son, and a man.
