Summary
"All her growth was the conveying of a corpse of hope."
(From 'The Rainbow', D.H. Lawrence)This is a story about coming into one's own, a meditation on the twilight of girlhood and the violence of crash-landing into womanhood. Follow Hermione as she navigates through the quagmire: Saving the world, getting top grades, falling in love, lust, and a whole lot of trouble, and comes out of it hopefully (at least) partially sane.

Summary
Hermione Granger is used to disappointment.
When it comes to her love life, she’s given up hope of ever finding a meaningful connection. Seven years after the war, she finds herself trapped in a relationship she didn’t want with a wizard she can’t stand, suffocating under the weight of fame she never asked for.
Draco Malfoy wasn’t supposed to be released from Azkaban for at least another year. After he shows up to the restaurant where Hermione just so happens to be on a date looking more handsome than she remembers, she can’t seem to get the tall blond out of her head.
And he keeps popping up at the strangest of times.
When a scandal she can’t avoid leads her to uproot her entire life and move to Paris, Hermione is ready for a fresh start. But what happens when the one-night stand she tried to leave behind in London comes calling?
Chaos. Blackmail. Some light to moderate stalking.
He says they’re meant for each other. She thinks he needs to get his head examined.
What could go wrong?
