Experimental potions apprentice Hermione Jean Granger is running out of time, options and allies. Forced to make some of the most difficult decisions, only one certainty remains: She will never submit to the Ministry's insidious Marriage Law. Going on the run, Hermione is labelled a Ministry Malcontent and receives help from the most unexpected places.

It all started as a task, a responsibility, and a secret wartime communication channel. Throughout the years however, the mysterious contact slowly became so much more than neither of them could have imagined. When the war was finally over, nothing could stop her from looking for the true identity of the man she loved. Set two years after the war, ignore epilogue.

She pretends to love him for the Order. He pretends to love her for the Dark Lord. Have they deceived everyone, or only themselves? "Love unlocks doors and opens windows that weren't even there before." Mignon McLaughlin. Thank you so much for the support. Please read and review. Complete Dramione.
