Hermione and Drao return to Hogwarts for seventh year, and both feel the sparks of an unsual attraction to someone they did not except and willfully deny. Draco realizes the privillage he enjoyed before the war is not so present in its aftermath.

Hermione is unerved by Malfoy's old-world sensabilites, having only experienced the worst that upbringing has had to offer from him. Draco works to change the way others see him, though a chance meeting in a supply closet may undue it all.

Draco is at odds with a friend who isn't sure he's changed for the better, but not having many allys to turn to upon his return to school, he's hesitant to fully rebuff him. Hermione is released from the hospital wing, but finds that she's not as recovered as she thought, landing herself in a dangerous situation with an unlikely rescuer. 

Hermione remembers that there's another relationship she ought to be focusing on, while Draco tries to dispel advances of his own. This is is made rather difficult by the passing of notes in class.

A midnight conversation brings to light new understanding of each other. Draco has an unexpected standoff, while Hermione is shocked at an equally unexpected discovery.

Draco issues a challenge, and Hermione comes an important realization about herself through a conversation with a close friend.

Hermione comes across a sleeping Malfoy on the edge of the forest, taken in by the unaccustumed look of vulnerability on his face. A misstep brings an abrupt awaking in more ways than either of them expected. 

Sparks fly and tempers flare when Hermione and Draco run into a pack of Gryffindors on their way back to the Castle. Relationships can only take so much strain before they start to crack.

Hermione and Ron finally have it out, and it goes about as well as The Talk ever does. That is to say, not great. 

You think you have problems? Try being Draco Malfoy. If he retaliates against Weasley for taking out his frustrations with Granger on those of Slytherin house, his still tenuous friendship with Hermione could splinter all together; but his pride in both his house and himself can't allow the boy to just get away with his actions. And speaking of Granger, why can't he stop thinking of the way she looked when she ran away from him in the library? Could she ever truly trust a man like him? 

Draco passes the torch, Blaise shares a secret, and Hermione drags her feet. 

There's friction among our favourite Slytherins and Gryffindors, but not necessarily between houses. Cryptic comments come from all sides with implications for the future; will those who hear them be clever enough to decipher them in time? 

Being single should mean less relationship stress for Hermione Granger, right? But one could play the tension between her and a certain boy like a fiddle string, and people are dfinitely starting to notice. 

The very night Draco admits his feelings everything comes crashing down around him. Hermione is reckless, with disastrous results. 

Draco fights his rage, and tires not to give-in to old temptations, and Hermione works to overcome things and nurse her bruised spirit. 

Draco somehow knows just the thing to help Hermione, and both are pleased at the progess that occurs. Perhaps a different sort of progress is occuring, too. Meanhwile, back at school, Minerva McGonagall is not to be trifled with. 

Draco comes to a realization in detetion, while Ron and Hermione have a long talk. 

Posuimus Enim Resurgemus...

The moonlight has a captivating effect on a certain Gryffindor, who is most certainly NOT on a date with a certain Slytherin. Right? 

Just as Hermione and Draco both start to take the first steps to confirming their feelings to each other the season brings about the Ghosts of Girlfriends past. And all the drama that goes along with it.
