After the brutal deaths of his wife and parents, Draco Malfoy shows up on the stairs of Grimmauld Place, half dead himself. He has turned coat and he is out for revenge against the Dark Lord, putting forth his every effort to assist the Order in defeating him. Hermione finds herself strangely drawn to the mysterious Death Eater as they work closely, despite her better judgment. AU

On her deathbed, Draco's godmother bestows upon him a final gift, of sorts. However, for someone as self-centered as Draco, supernatural empathy is more a curse than a gift. Eventual Dramione. T for Umbridge being horrible.

Hermione Granger is back in Hogwarts for her final year, but everything is different. Her best friends are no longer by her side, and Hogwarts no longer feels like home. The war changed everything and everyone, her most of all. How will she cope with being alone for the first time in six years? The answer lies in a certain former Death Eater hoping to atone for his sins. On Hiatus?

The war forced her to fight, to bleed and to suffer. Even though the world seemed exactly the same, she was missing way too many parts of herself to simply live in peace. Was there a way to find those missing parts? Was there a way to recover her stolen innocence? She wanted answers to these questions, but she didn't expect to find them in someone else. Especially not in him.

Draco couldn't seem to get away from the know-it-all Hermione Granger. If he didn't see her in classes he saw her in his dreams, beckoning him towards her with alluring doe-like eyes. He knew he had plenty other things to worry about, becoming a Death Eater for one. But he couldn't shake the feeling he got whenever his eyes rested on the Gryffindor, no matter how hard he tried.
