Summary
Seven years after her death, Hermione awakens. It is confusing to understand how she went from fighting Bellatrix the night the Death Eaters entered Hogwarts to being a seventeen-year-old girl surrounded by her friends who were now in their twenties. Time passed, but not for her. Brought back to life, Hermione does everything she can to behave normally, but every time her eyes meet the culprit of her death, even if he wasn't the one who killed her, she can't help but let the hatred bubbling inside her burn more fiercely.
Unfortunately, Draco Malfoy earned a place among her friends when she wasn't there, and she has to spend more time with him than she would like, but as the years go by she discovers that of all the people around her, Malfoy was the only one who made her feel completely alive.
Was it guilt that made him draw closer every time she pushed him away? Was it hatred that made Hermione find his eyes in crowded places? Or did they both feel something more?

Summary
Language is like tea leaves. Steeped and coloured, flavoured bursts on the tongue: bitter or sweet. Greens, ambers, and fusion blends similar to the building of cultures. Language, the largest and most versatile way humans communicated. A unique ability to cross sounds and form words, creating energy and shifting the surrounding air into waves that spread like currents, linking one person with another. Bonding that becomes the core of identity, of stature, of expression.
And somehow, that expression is so often lost. Hidden away in storage closets and underneath cracked floorboards. In the space between two people, a lie instead of a truth. Buried, packed away, sold, words are often used to leverage machinations. Out of cruelty, currency, or concern.
In the time and space between two people trapped for one evening in a love hotel.
Or: Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are stuck in a love hotel for an evening.
