After Hermione left her post-Hogwarts education, she never expected to run into Draco Malfoy in South America on her holiday. But she did. She never expected to fall in love with him during that holiday. But she did. She never in a million years expected to return to London to the Prophet announcing his engagement to Astoria Greengrass. But... she did.

No one knows what happened to Draco Malfoy in the final battle, but, when his portrait shows up at Harry Potter's house, it's readily assumed he didn't make it.

Every day, he receives her letters and reads them in confusion, often spending the entire day reading through the small stack that has accumulated. Every night, he falls asleep and forgets everything. Each new letter alarms him more. He can't make out why someone would tell him such intimate details of her life. "Dear Draco, Do you remember me? I once meant everything to you."
